My Niece's Birthday Tea Party!

This past week was Spring Break for the Fuentes family and we have been away on vacation! We have returned happily refreshed and I have many wonderful photos to share with you-- our vacation kicked off with a tea party for my niece in Chicago:

The lovely birthday girl table...

Island of goodies--aren't they pretty?

And they tasted amazing!

Chocolate dipped strawberries and American girl shortbread cookies!

Happy faces eagerly anticipating the tea...

The place settings were sweet...

The table of older tea partying daughters....

There were plenty of games, races, etc. Here is my little Joy all dressed up in a colonial dress that Janai, my oldest daughter hand made for her for another occasion (more on that later) passing a Tea Book in hot potato fashion. They had so much fun and she would not stop laughing!

All the girls in a circle and see my beautiful mother-in-law in the background?

The craft table had keepsakes boxes ready for decorating...
(hmm--I think I need to lighten these pictures up but my virtual assistant, Naomi, is fast asleep so it will have to wait!)

The excited girls carefully decorating their treasures...

Beautiful girlhood in all her glory!

A sweet group picture---aren't they adorable?

The Grand finale--presents and a beautiful heart shaped cake made with love!

How to Be a Lady-$12.00

“What you are while you are a girl, you will be when you become a woman.” Somewhere within the recesses of every girl’s heart is the desire to act, and be treated, as a lady. But a true lady is more than just graceful and feminine; she has a Christ-centered character that regulates her inner thoughts and motives, as well as her outward graces. In this book, originally published in 1850, extraordinarily practical wisdom is offered to young girls in the practice of developing womanly character. The girl’s equivalent to Thoughts for Young Men, this book is excellent for mothers and daughters and a must-read for every young lady-in-training!

Have a blessed day!
