Two-Three-Four Birthday Tea Party

Today we celebrated a triple summer birthday party for Siena and two of her little friends - turning two, three and four (Siena is turning four next month). It was perfect. Siena was able to have the initial excitement for her birthday a bit ahead of time, and to celebrate with her younger friends, and then on her birthday to celebrate with her four year old friends. We chose a tea party because, well, who doesn't like a tea party? Instant theme, easy to carry out, and it includes lunch. Perfect!


The girls were all dressed up (they're girls, after all), and I brought a few simple crafts - paper crowns to decorate and wear (kingly crowns for the brothers who attended), and wrapping ribbons and bells attached to wands for fairy princess wands, and a fun princess cake. For decorations we just used some fun pink sheer fabric for the table, and then a giant butterfly tent that Siena was given as a gift - a real favorite that she doesn't get to use often because she shares her bedroom with Sterling.

The girls all had a good time. I really cherish that my family has so many close friends who have children off all different ages. I am constantly grateful when a friend's 10 year old actually wants to play with my four year old. So it is especially nice for me to encourage Siena to have friends who are younger, and to celebrate those relationships together. And how lucky I am to be surrounded by such lovely mums!

And of course, Sage was her youngest fan. Siena picked out her party dress as well!
