A Garden Birthday Tea

Come right through our garden gate...
Please dress up and don't be late...
We're celebrating [Cheery's] 7th Birthdate!
Hey, this tea party thing isn't all bad (I like the cream puffs!)
The big girls helped the "guests" decorate straw hats

My first and last attempt at petit fours...they were good, but oh my, do I have a new appreciation for people who make them! :)

And my dear friend H, learning to carry baby the African way...
I wish I had a picture of all we served. We had cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, scones with strawberry jam and lemon curd, cream puffs, chocolate-covered strawberries, and petit fours with raspberry sherbet. Thanks to dear Daddy for the balloon arch and spraying for mosquitos so we wouldn't be devoured, and thanks to Bookworm for organizing our games - pin the lid on the teapot and musical bean bag toss. I think Cheery had a wonderful birthday.
