A Birthday "Tea" Party :)

Our littlest "charmer" turned 5 yesterday :)

So we decided to host a "Tea Party" on the patio to celebrate.

We brought a little table and chairs outside.  Layered up the linens and added "chair covers"...green...

...and pink.

I've been collecting these sweet vintage linens since before she was born.

"Real flowers"...of course ;)

We added place cards on old hinges...

...and invited a friend.

On the Menu...

1.  Vanilla Yogurt and Strawberry Parfaits...with sprinkles.

2.  Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches...cut with little flower cookie cutters.

3.  Brownie Bites with Frosting...and more sprinkles.

And instead of real tea, we had what we called "Pink-a-ccinos"

(steamed milk with strawberry syrup and pink whipped topping)

As you can see by that face...they were a hit :)

A good time was had by all :)

Celebrating with Family...

We're taking a little break from wreath posts today ;)

My aunt recently retired from Tyndale Publishers AND celebrated a birthday.

The Sanders family gathered to celebrate and I had fun "playing" around with the serving table decorations.

You may need to take a moment for your eyes to adjust :)

The rest of the photos are from the event...and a BIG change in lighting...

Her friends at Tyndale made these fun magazine covers with photos of Aunt Mavis for her "red carpet" retirement celebration.  We borrowed them :)



Play...

Rest...

And most of all ENJOY!

We love you Aunt Mavis...thanks for letting us celebrate YOU!

May God bless you richly as you enter this new and exciting time in your life.  You are such a blessing to all of us and a bright, shining light for God and His love and faithfulness.  Thank you!!!

Love and prayers,
