Earlier this week, Eila made elaborate invitations with glitter glue and markers. She decorated her table and chairs with stickers and assigned a spot to each of her guests. She picked out bouquets and mirrors and wands for her friends. Eila thought about what food should be served and what games should be played.

This morning, Eila helped get ready for her very first tea party by cleaning her room, making chocolate chip cookies, taking a nap, finding the teapot and tea cups, selecting the plates and tablecloth. All was in order, she changed her clothes 4 times until she had just the right dress.

Lindsay, Lucie and Genevieve joined her in their fancy dresses to enjoy some peach tea, cookies, sandwiches and banana slices. They played Kiss The Frog (like Pin the Tail on the Donkey), which was Eila's favorite part. They played with princess figurines and some make-up and jewelry. Then the girls danced and sang "I'm a Little Tea Pot." They posed and smiled for pictures and were very sophisticated. It was a lovely party.
