I am not a photographer by any means so please forgive the lack of picture taking talent of these pictures! I wish my friend Hope was here to take pictures. She is one of the little ladies mamas, and she takes beautiful photographs! However, she had a doctor's appointment. We were fortunate that "DADOO" (AKA her mother in law) could bring her for the fun!
We had three precious little ladies join us for Christmas Tea. They are friends that my girls have known since they have been born. As three of the older girls begin preschool, we seem to be going in all directions all the time! It was nice to get them together to play. For the menu, we kept it simple with some PB & J sandwiches, veggies, chips, and fruit. We had some yummy cupcakes for dessert. Of course, we also enjoyed tea! It was quite funny because LaLa and I worked very hard the day before setting the table with a table cloth and place settings...however, when Little Bit woke up, it was like Godzilla tackles the Christmas Tea Table. We decided that in consideration of the two little girls (both one) that we had better forgo the "extras" and keep it simple!
My mom found cute dress up items at the dollar store! These were the perfect touch to our Christmas Tea. I wrapped them in a big, mysterious box that the girls opened before they began eating.
It included: dress up high heels, bracelets, necklaces, and spring hats.
Wreath place settings had each little girls' names. The monogrammed bows were their Christmas "gifts" from the girls. These were part of the "settings" that we moved to "higher ground" out of the mini Godzilla (AKA Little Bit's reach)!
Little Bit all dressed up enjoying being a "Big" girl.
The Ladies enjoying tea...and friendship.
This little picture of LaLa's friend, MM, made me laugh. She was so cute to pose for the picture. All of the little girls brought their favorite babies to the party who also had their own table. We made matching scarves for the girls and the babies with some extra fleece that we had. We simply cute long rectangles to the appropriate size. Then, we fringed the edges. Other activities that we did were to sort medium pom poms by colors using tweezers (this is also a great activity to build fine motor skills). We also did some Christmas crafts and played some games. The two toddlers did very well keeping up with their big girls!
