Time For Tea





McKell turned 5 on Friday! She was very excited about it and when we went to pick up her friends for car pool that morning she said to Dallin- 'Do you know who's birthday it is?' Dallin of course said 'it's yours' I'm sure she had been talking about it for the last week. When we got to school to drop them off McKell started singing "Happy Birthday to McKell" I hope she wasn't one of those super annoying kids that can't stop talking about it all day.
Well her party started after school- 3:30 pm. She had invited 15 of her friends and they were all suppose to dress for a tea party and bring a bear or doll. When they got here there was a feather boa for them and make-up to put on and they were able to put flowers on their straw hat. There were feathers everywhere on my floor as you can imagine.
We played some games and read the book Fancy Nancy and then went downstairs to our back yard deck. Phil and Ben had done an amazing job decorating it. They had their own china tea cups with pink lemonade in them to drink. To eat they had little sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, mini blueberry muffins, fruit kabobs on fancy pink toothpicks and for dessert they had ice cream cone sundaes.
The girls all looked cute and they all looked like they had a blast. They thoroughly enjoyed the tea party and had chocolate all over their faces. McKell had so much fun with her friends and is very happy to finally be five! (Is this enough details- to those of you who wanted to know?)
