Christmas Tea Parties

Every year Audrey and I look forward to a very special Christmas Tea Party hosted by our friend Mrs. Debbie. 

 

It is special for Audrey and I because we get to spend some Mommy/Daughter time together and Audrey gets to dress up really fancy.  It is a magical time for both of us.

 

 

Addison isn't quite old enough to attend the tea party at Mrs. Debbie's.  In the past, this hasn't been an issue, but this year she was old enough to realize that she was being left behind. 

 

My two precious daughters.

 

To help Addison's hurt feelings, I took her to the store to pick out special treats and drinks for her to have her own Christmas Tea Party with Grammy, Aunt Carol and Uncle Jim.  That certainly brightened her day.

 

 

While Addison was enjoying herself, Audrey and I went to Mrs. Debbie's house.

 

She has a huge "Barbie" ornament tree.  This thing is COVERED with Barbie/Princess ornaments.  All the little (and big) girls that attend are always in awe of the tree.

 

They always make a craft when they arrive.  This year they made a wooden Christmas tree ornament.

 

 

This is Mrs. Nancy with Audrey.  She is such a very special lady to our family.

 

Audrey was so excited about the cookies and coke that they were about to get.

 

I'm so thrilled that I get to share in this special tradition with Audrey.  Hopefully soon Addison can enjoy this time with us.

Christmas Tea Party

The first week of December, Audrey was invited to a Christmas Tea Party hosted by a close family friend, Mrs. Debbie. This was Audrey's first official tea party and she was so excited to dress up and go to it. Grammy watched Addison so Audrey and I could have some special Mommy/Daughter time at the tea party.

This is my beautiful girl all dressed up for the tea party.





Mommy and Audrey ready to go.



When we arrived, there was a craft table set up where each little girl decorated a paper bag. This bag was later filled with goodies from the hostess.



Then we walked into the house to find it decorated so beautifully! Each place was set with a real tea cup and saucer. Mrs. Debbie is much braver than I would ever be to have all those breakable items with all those little girls!!!



Audrey sat at her table like such a big girl.





While the little girls were inside having fun, the Mommies and Grandmothers had a special place outside to eat and visit with one another.

Inside the girls listened to stories, enjoyed games and even had a visit from Santa, himself!!!




Audrey became fast friends with some of the bigger girls at the party. They took such good care of her.

Here we are in front of the Barbie Christmas tree. Yes, this tree was entirely decorated with Barbie ornaments. It was just beautiful!

And this is Mrs. Debbie. The sweet lady that hosted this wonderful tea party. I will hold the memories of this day close to my heart. It was a beautiful time to spend with my oldest daughter!
