Gabby's Tea Party

For Gabby's bday we decided to do a tea party theme. We kept it on the smaller side & asked the guests to wear their favorite hat or they could wear one of ours if they wanted. The girls showed up with some cute hats.I attempted to make cupcakes again (hey, that reminds me I forgot to post a pic of the silly princess ones). You can kinda see a glimpse of the tea cup cupcakes in this pic. The girls & Braly enjoyed them. Here is the table all set for our guests. Gabby picked out saucers & tea cups at the thrift store along with the vases & we made the flowers out of toilet paper rolls. And I made the little goody bags for the picture frames & a bead necklace.


Here is Gabby with her friend Olivia. I took pics of Gabby with each of her guests and then we printed them & put them into small picture frames for thank you gifts for her friends. They turned out really cute too! Gabby & Braly
Gabby & Ari.
The tea party part. The kids ate some crakers & cheese & enjoyed some punch (tea) that they got to pour out of a tea pot that Auntie Nat found at a garage sale. They enjoyed the punch. (who wouldn't? it was yummy & simple)


Gabby got a Hannah Montana shirt & head bands, a fairy felt doll making kit, a penguin iflops (its a stuffed penguin that has a hook up inside of it for a MP3 player & has speakers on hits head so she can listen to it for bed & not have the wires from headphones for mommy to be worried about her getting tangled in).


Then on Gabby's 'real' birthday, I took her to Iron Mtn for a scrapbooking/card making day & she had lots of fun. Auntie Nat worked with her on some stamping & cards & then gave her a no sew fleece throw for her to use when she goes camping with Auntie Nat & Uncle Todd.






We had to celebrate her 'real' birthday with a cake so we got a small one that we could finish off in one sitting. And she got an ipod shuffle for her iflops penguin. She's pretty happy about that.Little Miss Morgan enjoying the Happy Birthday song & candles.

  2. I thought it was a cute them & yes quite girly. We bought Braly a batman mug from the thrift store when we were getting all the girly stuff & we made him a green bag instead of the pinkish one. He enjoyed the party & harrasing the girls a little. He's such a boy!

    We had family here on & off for a week & a half so I didn't get to get on the computer much. I've got lots more pics to share though & its kinda nice that I can do it here for free instead on picture trail, even though I enjoyed the slideshows there. I guess I should put together a slideshow here. Maybe this weekend I'll try one.
