Last week Liberty had a little summer tea party in our backyard with her friends.
She got the idea from a magazine and had been planning her party for months!
The party had to be in summer so she could have it outside.
We had to postpone it twice because of the torrential rain we've had in the last couple of weeks.
We made all the food (apart from the strawberry sticks) ourselves...
cream filled pastries with raspberry icing...
tiny meringues...
Eiffel tower cookies...
butterfly cakes...
strawberry sticks...
tiny champagne glasses filled with pineapple juice...
sweet cupcakes...
and pretty tea cups filled with strawberry jelly...
The tea cups filled with jelly were Liberty's favourite part!
Liberty wanted her friends to do crafts with her, so she came up with the idea to make fairy wands.
She found all the supplies herself and showed everyone just what to do!
The girls all got Eiffel tower cookies to take home.
The party was in the morning at 11am.
We had the most beautiful weather! It turned out to be a very hot day.
I asked Liberty if the party was just like she had wanted it and she said, "No...it was much better!"
She was very sad when it was all over...I think there will be a lot more tea parties in her future!
It was a gift from our dear friend Sans who lives in Singapore.
Liberty just loves that dress!
Thank you for all the holiday wishes. We had a wonderful time at the lake and caught up with old friends while we were away - that's always fun!
The school holidays finally finish this week...then I might be able to get back to blogging (I have many things to show you!) - as you can see Liberty has been keeping me rather busy!
