Tea Partying

Thanks Tammy for the nudge! 

I am definitely not a birthday party planner like some of my dear friends like Kelly and her themed parties like Narnia or Princess parties....although we did have some fun with our Little House party....

Baby #3 just turned 4 last week. And so we partied, with tea, strawberry shortcakes, homemade sugar free dark chocolate truffles.....

.....shabby chic bunting, bubble blowing, silk parachute throwing....

 It was a sweet afternoon, and that wasn't just the eats that made it sweet. We are still the new family on the gravel road block, and so we didn't have the option of inviting a rowdy bunch of pretty little heads.....

That was quickly remedied by the honorary Aunties who attended and one little friend, Maggie....

 Maggie's Mama, Auntie Donna, made these sweet Birthday cupcakes.....

Our sweet Elousia, now 4, shares tea with Maggie on a real china....

Big sister Selah was such a great help preparing and cleaning up...

We thought the Aunties would prefer some of our Purple Tomato starters in egg shells as party favors rather than treat bags.....

It is possible to have a sweet party, without disney, without plastic, without mass produced candy....

Relaxing....enjoyed by Mama....and my dollies....

Speaking of dollies....we found "Summer" from Peek & Loo Etsy store, a practice doll, perfect for us. She has not left Elousia's side since Saturday afternoon.
