Chloe's Party

We had Chloe's birthday party over the weekend. She was SO excited about having a tea party and all the friends coming over. She is my shy one, so once everyone was here, she decided that she didn't want to sit at the table with everyone. I brought out the tea cups and that is all it took. She got 2 new tea sets and was so excited to use them at her party, so once I brought them out, she was all into it....she didn't say much, but enjoyed sitting down with her tea cup.Grandma Lunn was extra helpful and took care of so many things. She brought a few extra tea cups and saucers that we ended up needing....whew!! She helped serve and clean up, AND probably most importantly, she kept Keira out of the way of the tea party - that could have been a big mess.

Here are a few pictures from the actual party.....

Here are the lovely "ladies" enjoying some fruit....

Time for "cake" - we didn't have an actual cake, and the cookies didn't work with candles, so we used the pastry from the party....she didn't seem to mind.

Here are the tea pot and tea cup/saucer cookies made by my sister, Rochel (she is selling them online if you are interested). They were a big hit.

Time for presents.....

After the party, Victoria and Isabella stayed to play. The girls loved the new toys

After playing for awhile, the kids watched a movie...a rare picture of Bella and Caleb together watching Mario...

Chloe and Victoria play "house"
All tuckered out after a long day.Chloe had a great party, the weather was perfect and the house didn't get destroyed, so I had fun too. One thing we did at the beginning of the party while the guests arrived was paint the girls' nails. Aunt Randee had sent Chloe some glitter nail polish and flower nail stickers. The stickers were a huge hit. Thanks for all everyone did to make Chloe's party so great!
