Bird's fifth birthday party was this past weekend. This year she wanted to celebrate by having a tea party where everyone dressed up.
She chose to be Cinderella - not really a big surprise!
Once all the royal guests had arrived & run rampant for a bit, we needed to properly adorn everyone. So we made (foam) crowns from this spiffy sticker kit I found on clearance last Christmas. (Yes I was looking for May birthday stuff back in December. Bird's been planning this for a while!)
After some more running around, it was time for lunch, so everyone found a seat at the royal banquet table. Our table featured the best china one can find at garage sales.
Bird had a special pink flowered plate & bowl that didn't look like anyone else's.
The royal feast consisted of peanut butter & jelly or strawberry cream cheese & jelly sandwiches, veggies & dip, and jello cubes (made in an ice cube tray).
Once the guests had feasted to their heart's content (meaning they ate lots & lots of Jello!), we had some more running around before we took a group shot:
(I cannot believe that many children can fit on one couch!)
Next thing we knew it was time to sing Happy Birthday and eat the cake!
Overall, the party was a great success!! Bird was thrilled with the entire thing!!

(looks like you got some good pictures even if your "photographers" were avoiding you!! LOL
Cute, cute, cute cake! And I think it's so cool that you gave them china. I'm sure some of them will remember that party for a long time. And Bird is growing up so fast...
