Party time!

 Abigail has been so excited for her friend party this year.  She has had lots of ideas on how to make the perfect party.  She didn't want any help, she had a vision for it.  One of her favorite books is, 'The Best Loved Doll'.  It's about a girl that has a birthday party with her doll.  So she decided it would be a tea party, and the girls would wear party dresses and bring their dolls.  We decorated cupcakes and mini cupcakes for the dolls.  She wanted to decorate tea party hats, but I wasn't exactly sure where to get 'tea party hats'.  My friend found some sparkly new years hats at the dollar store, and Abigail loved them, so we went with that.  Abigail also decided that we had to have a pinata at the tea party.  No matter how many times I told her that  a proper tea party doesn't have pinatas, we still ended up getting a pinata.  We played some party games with the girls and their dolls, opened gifts, and ran through the house a lot.  Abs said it was wonderful!

 The girls cracked me up with how their decorated their hats, and there was glitter in my kids hair for days

The little girl on the end cracked me up... we had a  conversation about how her Mom said tea parties don't have pinatas, but she was happy that ours did.  I'm glad our party didn't dissappoint.
