A Very Belated Birthday Party!

My very patient 6 year old who waited 2 months for this special event! (o:

Happy Birthday Nat!
Even with how crazy it was getting ready, it sure turned out cute and the girls LOVED it!
That made it all worth it. They were adorable.
Angela didn't get to stay and enjoy this little party because the wind was freaking her out.
She decided playing with her friend Matthew sounded way more fun. Thanks Rebecca!

Mag's hat was too cute!

This is what it was all about - that cute smile!

What a fun time. The girls LOVED taking manners lessons from Madame Jen. They were amazingly good at remembering to say "Dear, could you please pass . . .", "Thank you darling" and "You look stunning today". I love that they thought my manners lessons were so funny and fun. (How much longer will my kids think I'm funny? I better enjoy that while I can. Sarah's already picking up on the fact that I'm a little nerdy. (o: ) Anyway, all the girls REALLY got into being so proper and fancy. That made it such a fun time!

Everyone decorated their own "tea cups" too.

Unfortunately, this ended up being almost as much of a flop as the cupcakes when the "permanent" marker washed off of Sarah's and Natalie's cups the next day! DRAT!

I can't win.

Luckily, those who hand washed their cups still had the cute decorations remaining and I was able to get a hold of almost everyone else before their cups went through the wash!

"Here are the cupcakes, dear. Darling could you pass the crackers? Ohh, Madame Brooke, your dress is just lovely. . . "

Madame Sarah entertained the lovely guests with reading Fancy Nancy and a princess story. She was a big help.

I was also so very, very grateful that my friend Rebecca's sweet 11 year old, Hannah, stayed to help me out. She was a lifesaver!!
