A Tea Party

"When an almost three year old tells you to dress up, you dress up," Tara said.

I had to agree. Looking around the yard, mommies wore dresses while daddies wore ties. The little girls were in party frocks and the boys sported button ups.

Because when that almost three year old is Elizabeth, everyone toes the line.

For Elizabeth's birthday this year, she asked that we do a tea party. And when her Aunt Melissa bought her a delicious concoction of cherry printed ruffles, we knew it was going to be a red and white cherry flavored affair.

The girls wore fascinators.

And the boys wore bow ties.

We set up in the back yard.

And, of course, there was the food. From scones to tarts to cherry topped cupcakes.

And Elizabeth reigned over it all in her pretty party dress.
