Krissy's favorite television show right now is Strawberry Shortcake. So we decided to host a Berry Bitty Tea Party for Krissy and her berry special friends and cousins to celebrate her 3rd Birthday.
Being so excited to celebrate, Krissy helped get her party ready in many ways. Here she is taste testing at the bakery that will make her cake.
And here she is helping clean up the center piece....or maybe showing Judah how it works.
Mom did surprise her with her own giant strawberry plant making her feel berry bitty special.
Here are the berry delightful finishing touches for the tea party.
At the cafe, we served only the berry best treats as each guest could make your own "shortcake." And we added some popcorn to pop up the garden (from her favorite episode titled, "Pop Goes the Garden"). We also added a little nostalgia for the moms.
Krissy, our little strawberry, posed for some family pictures as guests arrived at 11:00am.
Finally, it was time to start the tea party. Each cafe guest made their own shortcake delight starting with a color swirl shortbread, added fruit of their choice, and topped with whipped cream. The girls poured their tea cups full of water and added some sugar.
We had 9 little girls under the age of six years old. One table was full of the older girls followed by another table with Krissy and her neighbor friends who are six months apart and certainly not least the little cousins.
After tea, the girls put together some beautiful jewelry with their sweet smelling fruit loops and ribbons. Each girl sported their "fruitiness" berry nicely!
And some girls just went straight to eating their supplies.
The aunts were sure having fun too!
At last, Krissy opened some berry juicy gifts from family and friends. She may have a little help opening too.
And a little help playing with them.
At last for the most berry special moment of the party, watching Krissy try to blow out her candles after hearing everyone sing Happy Birthday!
And now for the long awaited doll cake. Yum. We are pretty sure Krissy had two pieces and gobbled them right down.
We are so proud of you Krissy! You will always be berry special to us. Happy 3rd Birthday!
