A Tinkerbell Tea Party

This past Saturday we started Keira’s 2nd birthday celebration.

The girls were invited to the “fairy gardens” of our house.

I really wish I had taken more/better pic’s of the decorations.  It came out really sweet.  Links to the ideas/crafts I used will be at the end of the post.  The pink string in the pic above held each girl’s fairy outfit and gift bag (again, really wish I had a pic of that!)  Here’s what they looked like:

Poster board type fairy wings, a sparkly tulle skirt, a golden star wand and a gift bag complete with Tinkerbell fruit snacks, a fairy necklace and chocolates.

Everyone arrived about the same time and we started off by letting the girls decorate their wings.

Then it was time to try on their outfits and dance to some fairy music (a.k.a. the music video on the Tinkerbell DVD).  The younger girls wanted nothing to do with it, but the older girls were dancing queens!

We all sang “I’m a Little Teapot” and started the tea party with snacks and “tea” (fruit punch).  I provided pb&j’s in star shapes, turkey and cheese sandwiches in heart shapes, pizza puffs, goldfish and plenty of fruit.

(Side note – Ari was not happy about being the only boy and spent most of the party just hanging out with my parents.)

Since everyone was at the table we decided to have cake time – chocolate cupcakes with pink butter-cream frosting and purple sugar sprinkles.

Then it was on to presents.  Keira received lots of Tinkerbell paraphernalia, some cute clothes and a doll house.

As far as we can tell everyone had a great time and things went so smoothly!  It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too :)
