It's a Tea Party!

What marvelous fun! That's right everyone, our beautiful little girl is about to turn 4 this month (December 23rd)and in order to officially celebrate with all of her little friends - we cordially invited 5 of Cadence's little friends & their moms to an "oh-so-formal" tea party!

We lavished our dining room with all things pink, purple & frilly - one can never have enough tulle...:) balloons....candies....butterfly sandwiches....but ultimately the crowning masterpiece of the event was the three tiered cake centerpiece created by my friend Nancy Lies and bought by my mom....she truly outdid herself with the cake alone, but also managed to make a couple dozen frosted sugar cookies to match...what terrific fun...

We also had a visit from the lollipop fairy....who magically made lollipops grow where we planted our fairy dust....we played the Cinderally shoe game....where each little girl had to find her matching slipper....and tossed tea bags into one of the many vintage hats that were laying about to make the event a bit more festive! - even the Christmas tree didn't escape the festivities being covered in tulle & flowers!....

This was our first official birthday party for our "Christmas girl"....and we wanted it to be definitely birthday (not Christmas)....definitely girly (as our little girl loves all things pink!)....and definitely just for her....it was great fun!

The night before the party I came upstairs & heard CAdence looking at all the things we had put out saying..."This says, "I lOve CAdie.....This says, "I Love CAdence...."This says, Happy Birthday CAdence I love you.....:) - at that moment I knoew that all the tedious details had come together & she knew it was for her & that it was out of love...and that of course, made it all worth it!
