Tea Party

Mary Reese had all her girlfriends over today for a tea party for her final birthday celebration {yes...we are still celebrating}!!! This year I let her pick the theme, the guest list and the food. She decided on a Tea Party and instructed each guest to bring their favorite doll.

She was the hostess with the mostest! She welcomed each guest at the door...


...inviting them in to paint their own tea cup...


These girls took their paintings seriously!


While the girls were painting, their dolls were visiting on the couch...


After their cups were decorated, she showed each guest where to sit at the table...


They dined on an array of fingerfood...


...chocolate dipped marshmallows, chocolate dipped pretzels, carrots and celery with dip, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Princess Punch {pink lemonade and ginger ale}, grapes and cheese straws. She also served make-your-own sundaes and cake squares...


The girls had a wonderful time visiting with each other...




She thanked her guest for coming and sent them home with their tea cup and a special rice krispie treat...
