Impromptu Tea

A friend called inviting Ainsley and Claire to spend the night last night, and since it was so close to Ainsley's Birthday and she desperately wanted to celebrate with said friends I decided we could have a quick tea party the next morning.

I scored these tea cups at the Good Will last month and was happy to recycle them for a second tea party.

The setting was well approved by the little girls.


Complete with heart shaped watermelon pieces.

Tiny peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.


Dinosaur chicken nuggets.

These petite pies...


cut up into sampler pieces to try each kind.

The lovely guests.

Pinky's up.

I played Betty Crocker for the role of hostess with the mostess, and was pleasantly surprised by the politeness of the young ladies.

The opening of the gifts...I love how they're all squished in trying to see and help.

Then an impromptu slip 'n slide session.


Which left the Birthday girl a tad upset, because she didn't want to get wet. Look at that tear coming down her eye.


Not to worry Betty Crocker offered whip cream squirts in the mouth and saved the day.
Oh what a fun day of giggles, whispers, good food and great friends!

Looks so authentic! I think next time I am feeling tears I am going to give you a call in hopes that I too will get a whip cream squirt. YUMMY!!
