Princess tea


Our little Claire FINALLY had her 6th birthday. Of course she's been planning her party for months, thanks to the lovely folks at Party Express and the catalogs they send us on a regular basis. She settled on a Cinderella theme and then I had to come up with activities to keep a bunch of little girls busy. Inspired by a party Claire attended at a local boutique, I decided to do a tea party here at the house. With my good china. Using our white-upholstered dining room chairs. Perhaps I was a wee bit crazy, but it seemed like a fun idea and much cheaper than the cute boutique.


The girls each came dressed as their favorite princess. They used their best princess manners and there were NO spills or broken china! They were all so cute and the party went really well. And it wasn't nearly as chaotic as I thought it would be (mostly because we had both of my parents here helping to keep the girls organized!). Now both girls are planning their parties for next year...
