All little girls love a tea party so for a 4th birthday party a few years ago, I made little girl dreams come true and hosted a mommy and me tea party. I broke out (not broke) my real china for the moms to use and scoured garage sales for little teacups for the girls.
The high points of the party:
Making fancy hats by gluing flowers, feathers and beads on to big straw hats
Making the fancy sister’s be our servants
Making tons of cute food like individual cakes
Peanut butter and jelly sushi and turkey sandwich sushi
The low point of the party:
When I decided to wear this Jessica McClintock number that I can’t ever imagine being cute even in the 80’s and completely ridiculous now. I look like a linebacker that threw up all that lace.
I love the dress. And the crown! No 35-year-old-cub-scout-frumps around here!
If only I could work in a Wizard of Oz/Glinda theme I could wear this getup while I lead the song at the next pack meeting. 🙂
