Tesla's birthday tea party

We did it! We had a fun, rather successful tea party last Sunday. July 5th is T's real birthday, but we initially planned to be out of town, so we had her tea party last week. I had no idea whether our little guests would actually sit at the table, but they did! And they asked for more tea, milk, food, and waited patiently for the cupcakes.

It took a lot of preparation in buying all the mini table deco, plan cute little food bits, lay out an art project (decorating their own take-home goodie bag) to keep the kids occupied until everyone was ready to be seated, and create snacks for the adults. But I loved every minute! It was so much fun for me to create all the details, and as the table got set up, to see how delighted Tesla was.

I melted into bliss when during the party Tesla had to pee (we are pretty much potty-trained now!!), and I took her to the bathroom. As she sat on the potty, me sitting facing her, I asked whether she was having fun and liked her party. She gave me a big smile, and reached out to hug me. The best gift to mama!!

I am so glad the party went as I envisioned and hoped. I feel I got to make her birthday special indeed : )
