This party was Jo's first party since her 1st Birthday Party! Bad Mom is what I kept telling myself, so I had to do something really really special for the BIG 5! We did a tea party at our house for seven friends plus Jo.
Sophia - her BFF at St. MM
Taylor - new friend at St. MM
Lilly - my colleague's friend's daughter - they met at gymnastics
Elizabeth - her cousin BFF
Eleanor - new friend at St. MM
Meggy - new friend at St. MM
We made cake pops from scratch (they were delicious & pretty), special tea (lemonade & apple juice), pretzels with chocolate drops, fruit kabobs, and cheese & crackers.
Rosie & Anna were the servers, and they were outstanding! Carolyn & Cara Petry did hair & make-up which was a huge hit too. They girls looked beautiful.
We played musical chairs & made purses & took lots of pictures. They ate everything and had a great time. I'm so glad it was special for Jo - worth all the planning!!
This picture cracks me up! Taylor & Elizabeth didn't make it in the picture unfortunately!
Not a great shot (we are currently in the process of organizing our pictures better & so this is the one on my computer). I can't wait to find the one of the table decorated perfectly with a cute tea set & balloons & lots of pink & white decorations. My mom made pink & white aprons for Rosie & Anna! The girls had white gloves (promptly took them off when they started eating). Too funny!
Can't forget one fit thrown by the birthday girl.... only my daughter would do that at her own party. Ugh! We ignored her but notice the red eyes before we sang happy birthday. Oh Jo Jo!!
