Forever Young: Tea Party...

We have been wanting to do something special for the young girls in our church, but I didn't quite know what to do. Then a lady in the church suggested we have a Tea Party for them. I thought it was a great idea so we ran with it. We have been planning it for several weeks and watching Thrift stores for fancy tea cups and saucers. Well, we finally got everthing together with lots of help from the church ladies and decided to have it on Saturday. I took the time Saturday morning to decorate the Fellowship Hall. So it looked liked a fancy Tea Room. Then, we had all the girls wear a nice dress. When they got their, we had all of them pick out a hat and a boa or scarf. They looked so cute. They had a little meal and drank Kool-aid out of their tea cups. We tried to teach them how to be fancy and hold their pinkies out while they were drinking but they didn't catch on to that one. Then we did some crafts, which were making book marks and Easy Bake Jello Aquariums. We then went outside and they broke a Princess Pinata. When they came back in, we had gift bags for them, made to look like tea bags. They really enjoyed the bags and all the goodies. We had six girls altogether ranging in age from 8 months to 13. The girls seemed to really enjoy themselves. We hope to do it again sometime.
