Time for the Princess (and little prince) Tea Party

The princess tea party was lots of fun, but all the participants agreed that getting ready for it was the best part. I think they are all caterers in training. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed the good eating and we all talked princess talk. Each of the girls has a favorite princess. Belle got one vote. Ariel got one. Cinderella got two, and there was another princess I never heard of. Guess I just am not up on my princesses.

Anyway, check out the princesses (and the little prince) in their party attire and the tea table in its best dressed splendor.

Welcome to the princess (and prince) tea party.

A tea table fit for a king and his princesses and prince.

Teapots all ready with lemonade and apple juice "teas"

Each princess has her own special and unique place setting compliments of their great grandmother who used these settings for her bridge club. They were hand painted in 1911.

 Ready to pray and enjoy the fruits of all their preparations.

We begin as we begin all good things...In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit....

The little prince was all dolled up and ready to eat cupcakes, the thing he liked best.

Prepping for the Tea Party

We've been busy today getting ready for the tea party: making placecards, baking and decorating mini cupcakes, collecting flowers, and doing beautiful napkin folding. The older girls did the baking and napkins and all of us collected around the table with colored frosting and sprinkles to decorate the cupcakes. Tonight they will pick out their princess outfits and tomorrow we will make the tea sandwiches and set the table. We couldn't do the table today because we are gathering around it tonight for dinner. Check out all our busyness today and start planning your own princess tea. We will have one little prince among us, Max the Wild Thing who will definitely enjoy the cupcakes! Check back tomorrow to see the tea party pictures.

 Grace was the placecard maker and napkin folder.

Good job, Grace. They look beautiful!

Mia mixed and baked the mini cupcakes.

Everybody had fun decorating them.

Can you tell Bianca likes pink frosting?

Grace and Grandma got lots of practice folding the napkins. 

This is a lily fold. It's just like origami only with cloth.

And daffodils are the perfect centerpiece. So cheerful.

And here's Max the Wild Thing, the only little prince at the princess teaparty.
