Liesl turned five and wanted to celebrate with a proper tea party! It was pink, it was girly, it was so.much.fun! We had it on a Friday morning, her actual birthday, which kept the party smaller. I was able to personalize the party easier that way with place settings for each little guest and lots of dress up accessories for everyone. When the guests arrived they got dressed up, then we did a cute little craft and made fans to take to tea, and finally I ushered everyone into the dining room for snacks, "tea" (apple juice and strawberry lemonade), cake and cookies! It was darling to watch them eat and drink in their white gloves and just sit around talking and laughing the way little girls (and one little boy!) do! I decided to make it extra fancy by using our dining room, but the lighting in there is horrible. We have Edison bulbs in the light fixture that cast a very yellow glow. It's really cozy in person but not ideal for pictures. Couple that with a rainy, overcast day and the pictures leave a lot to be desired. But I took one million anyway! Our sweet girl soaked up the love and special time with her friends, and then we spent the rest of the day celebrating as a family.
Welcome to Liesls' 5th par-TEA!
This was her morning view after coming downstairs. We surprised her with a new dollhouse and let her open her family gifs before Liam left for school. The dollhouse was great party entertainment too!
We love our girly-girl!
