Tea for Two . . . Ummm, make that Sixteen!

Anna Beth celebrated her fifth birthday with a tea party on Saturday. It was a fun celebration with fifteen of her closest friends and cousins . . . we had a house full of little girls! The girls enjoyed 'getting ready' for tea at the glamour table, complete with lipgloss, spray glitter, 'jewels', and feather boas. That was Anna Beth's favorite part of the party, of course! Then they used watercolors to paint paper fans out on the covered porch. When everyone was done, we sat down to tea and a finger-food lunch of flower-shaped sandwiches, teapot cookies, tiny cupcakes and more. The girls were great . . . they loved drinking tea and lemonade out of their real demitasse teacups. Of course, we were on our toes refilling those teacups! After lunch we played a fun game of musical chairs on the deck, and then headed in to open gifts. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a perfect tea for my princess! Here are some pictures of the highlights:
