Last week we had our much anticipated Christmas Tea for our friends and neighbors. It involves all things girly: frilly dresses, fancy food and lots of giggly friends! Maybe that is why it is one of my favorite events of the year.
This year I asked Calla to help me decorate the table and left her in charge of the centerpiece. With the only instructions being that it had to fit on the cake plate, Calla came up with this adorable Pet Shop nativity!
Since I try and invite girls Calla and Bella's age, we easily split the group of 11 into two groups. Above were the younger girls, Bella, Paige, Darcy and Carolina and below were the older girls, Calla, Elizabeth, Olivia, Caroline, Claire, Anna, and Sophie.
We also did a fun craft, making our own I SPY ornaments by filling glass balls with fake snow and adding little trinkets to find.
Getting the snow in was by far the hardest part.
A little help never hurts.

Sweet Little Ladies!
We had so much fun that later that same week we did the whole tea party again for our neighbors.
Above Bella, Lydia, Abigail and Aleathia get ready to start the festivities.
In this group of young ladies Calla is the youngest (except for Caroline). Arianna, Madyson, Calla, Caroline and Taylor all prim and proper before we serve tea.
Soon the craft starts and chaos breaks free!
The little brothers, Jonas and Nehemiah, came down to help "clean up" any cookies the girls may have left:)
Merry Christmas!!
