Happy Birthday Marisa! (Last year)

I can't believe Marisa will turn 5 on Tuesday, February 3rd. (Her birthday is 02-03-04. An easy one to remember!) I wasn't blogging last year at this time, and since I went to SOOO much work for her party, I thought I'd share it this year.
We had a tea party - complete with fine china! The 12 little girls sat amazingly well and drank their "tea" and enjoyed little sandwiches while the mommies nervously watched.


The table ...


I had to put Lucas to work so he wasn't bouncing off the walls - so we dressed him up and he escorted the girls in, and then served scones. (He only dropped them all once.) Do you see Daddy in the background in his tux greeting the young ladies as they arrive?



I am amazing even myself! Yes, I made this teapot (spout is leaning the wrong way, but oh well.) In 2007 I made a treasure chest cake and pirate ship cake for Lucas' 5th birthday party.



The boys waiting for guests to arrive. :-)
Now, since I went all out last year, I figured this was the year to relax. So this year the little girls are coming over and playing in the backyard. Period. Oh ya, there might be cake and icecream if I get ambitious.
