Georgia's Birthday Tea Party

We had a tea party for Georgia's birthday. A small group of what Will referred to as, "little ladies" came over to drink apple juice and have some sweets.  We had to move our "garden tea" idea indoors. We got the first rainy day in weeks, for our party.
We had a nice time. It was relaxed and low key with such a small number of children, Wally at school, and Walker napping. I was sad that Del had to miss it. But he was out bringin' home the bacon.

The tea table.

The cake. Melissa Patterson of Sugar Mamas Cakery did such a cute job. She used the tablecloth as her inspiration. We all loved it!

The food table. We also had the girls make a candy and cookie necklace.

The girls did so well with the glass tea set. It was sweet to watch them use it so carefully. I think it was a good experience in how to use delicate things. Really cute.

Some eye catching sweets, and flower shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Not cut to perfection. I was in a hurry, and had a crying baby during all my prep.

Mandy gave me instructions on how to make the truffles in the baggies. Mine were not nearly as smooth and beautiful as her's. They did taste good however. I may have to try again for the good looks.

The sweet little ladies.

Cake time. We have discovered that Georgia does not like being the center of attention. Even on her birthday.

The gifts. It is always so cute how excited the kids get to give their gift, and watch as the birthday child opens it. They all want to be about an inch from the present opening. I think it is so sincere, how into it they are.

We did have some guys on the scene. They got booted to a "picnic" on the rug. No more chairs. They were good sports. Maybe it is a good thing Del wasn't home. That rug is not very big.
