A Princess Tea Party

Hadassah turned 4 a few weeks ago,

and I wanted to celebrate this sweet stage of life in a special way.

She is our vibrant, artsy child,

and like so many little girls that age, she loves anything princess!

So it was fairly easy to decide on a birthday theme.

The weather cooperated beautifully with my plans for an outdoor tea party!

This sweet girl had the time of her life! Her mama had almost as much fun, I think :)

My dear friend, Karen made this dress and her two friends' dresses! {How talented is she?!}

Hadassah was elated that her skirt was a "twirly skirt", since dancing is her passion.

 

Since I'm not supermom, I cheated and bought the cupcakes and cookies from the grocery store!

They were just right for a tea party, and the girls didn't know the difference.

The darling little princesses

and their mommies!

I just love the pure joy on their faces! 

Of course, there was dancing!

:: Teeny-tiny everything ::

 

My bestie, Edith brought a child's tea set for them to use that was given to her as a child!

They loved it!

     

     I thought maybe Nicholas would sleep through it all,

but luckily for him, he woke up in time to get on the fun!

 

Real men have tea parties.

{I'll be sure to show him this picture when he's 16!}

When the day was over, and Hadassah and I were talking about her princess tea party,

she asked if she could have another party just like this one!

She is a child after my own heart.

Happy 4th birthday to our beautiful princess!
