Here’s a pic of Charleigh’s Tea Party and yes it’s the only picture I got. Somehow I was slacking on the photography part of the party. Charleigh asked for a “grown uppy” birthday party this year. The girls arrived around 3pm on Sunday then changed clothes into fabulously fancy dresses that our Pastor’s wife sent along. After changing clothes they paraded their outfits on stage in an impromptu fashion show. They then settled down for a spot of tea or cocoa and a few cupcakes, cream puffs and sugared grapes. It was pretty amusing watching all these little girls acting so “proper”! After the tea they opened presents then went back to dancing and showing off their beautiful dresses. All in all it was a great party. Kurt’s parents surprised us with their visit which really topped the whole day off for Charleigh! Later that evening she told me that while she had fun she thinks next year she’ll just invite one or two girls. She says if you get to many girls together things “just get to emotional”.
Dad had his camera with him, I need to check his pictures and see if there are any better ones. I can’t believe that in the one picture I took I cut off the birthday girl’s face.

I’m laughing at that “too emotional” comment.
Even at 7 she’s a smart girl.
