My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Tea Party for 8..

"Palleeeesssseeeee".... grandma can we have another tea party?
"Why of course my little darlings"..
Sam and Emma my 7 yr olds. planned the funnest party for the little girls of the family.

Here we are about to go shopping!


But first there must be lunch at Big H while we did our planning..

Invitations ----actually found these cute Tea pot invites


Little girls had pink bears with princess outfits...."Build a bear" was our charity event at our tea party.

goody bags are a must for any successful party--for the older girls "high school musical notebooks"--

lip gloss and fingernail polish

big girls built "cheerleading bears"--

white gloves for everyone---

Oh yeh!!! yellow plates, purple forks, green napkins and orange cups---

Tired but cute feet after shopping for our big tea party......

tables set--must put mints in the smaller bowls---

set out my collection of hats and let the girls pick one for the party.....

Leah arrived early--practicing her poses

Autumn also showing the correct "lady like way" to sit on a horse with a dress!!

Just waiting around for the "other ladies" to arrive for the party.

==============================
And let the party begin: introducing Lady "Sierra"

=======
May I present lady "Dakota" ======
Lady "Autumn"

=======
introducing lady "Emma"

========
Meet my lady "Samantha"
=========
The lovely lady "Leah"
========
the youngest lady "Camri"
==========
and last but not least lady "drama queen" Alexandra
=========
Strike a pose!!!
Having our lunch which was chosen by Sam and Emma: My famous homemade mac and cheese, cookies with ice cream and lemonade.
yummo!
==========
As they ate they introduced themselves telling everyone which country they were from with the accents to go along. They also told of their families. Some of our ladies had 20 children with 20 husbands and nannies and butlers to help out!!
=======
We ate, we discussed manners, we built our bears and we played games. We walked the cat walk and shared stories and of course posed so g-ma could take lots of pictures..

Tea Party for the girls...A total success

Sue, this was totally adorable! We LOVE a good party. Me, my daughter, niece, and a friend had a Real Housewives of NJ party. It was so much FUN! Thanks for visiting my blog! I definitely will be back.

You are the BEST Grandma ever!!

I hope to have enough granddaughters one day to do something like this. I know if I had gotten that change when I was a little girl, I would cherish that memory forever.

Good job!
