Fiona turned three years old this week, and she had one of her birthday parties at the farm – on Valentines Day! We were all very excited – well, the ladies and princesses at least were excited – to plan a “tea party”, complete with fancy clothes, lots of necklaces and hats that we decorated during the party. We are all hoping that this is the first of many little girl’s birthday “tea parties”.
We used some of Tina’s demitasse collection for our teacups along with the small bread plates from one of the china sets. Jigglers were served in fancy containers, fruit was arranged on skewers, pretty cookies were served on platters and we had baked an assortment of tiny cupcakes which were decorated with colorful icing.
The room was decorated with streamers and balloons and Samantha turned one of the high chairs into a birthday throne with the help of a lot of satiny fabric and tulle – in shades of pink with a bit of a zebra print accent!
It was such a blast – we all played dress-up, old and young alike – and it was hard to tell who enjoyed it most:
 |
| Toben and Omi |
 |
| Rachel enjoys her tea |
 |
| Tina and Opa |
 |
| Gracie and Toben |
 |
| Adelaide models one of the decorated hats |
 |
| Fiona admires one of her presents: a tiny purse |
