Kellsie's Tea Party

Ever since Kellsie got her American Girl Doll, she has wanted to have a Tea Party. Her doll Felicity was growing up in the Revolutionary War time and when she was about 10 had to take lessons on having tea parties.

So Kellsie invited two friends (that was all the giggling I could take this week) over to have a tea party. We don't have a tea set, so her friend Jessica brought her Hello Kitty one. Stephanie next door told Kellsie that she could use her grandmother's tea pot (picture down low).

Kellsie wanted Lemon aid in the tea pot, so she made that. She also wanted crumpets (does she know who she has as a mother?).

Instead Kellsie made blueberry muffins (from a box), I made cupcakes (from a box), and Lemon cake (from a box). Chris this is the part where you don't laugh...

The girls had a blast. The first tea party (there were three) was very nice to watch. Kellsie would say, "Would you like tea Ms. Flowers?" And then Jess would reply "Yes I would, Thank you Ms. Giras". And it went on and on while they asked each other for cupcakes and other treats. I remember thinking how proud the other girls' mothers would be.

But by the third Tea Party the manners were out the door...

Fun pictures below. Kellsie wants to make more Tea Parties in the future, so we might have to find her a tea set. We will see. All that cooking (from boxes) wore me out!

THe girls did not go to bed until midnight and they woke up at 7am. What is that about?

We should take the GS to an actual tea party where they teach them manners and stuff. Glad the girls had fun. Glad it was at your house and not mine. You are just a better mother...
