Party Time!!

On Sunday afternoon, we had Rhea's birthday party.  We had invited three little friends for tea, and Rhea couldn't have been more excited.  One friend couldn't make it, another brought her sister, so all in all, it worked out great!
The pictures speak for themselves. :-)

The invitations

Treats waiting for the guests to arrive: mini chocolate chip scones, baby brownies, and itty bitty sugar cookies.

 Somebody's excited about those cookies! :-)

How old is this kid?! :-)

 The guests have arrived. Every girl got a hat and matching purse, and a strand of pearls. :-)

Rhea was a lovely hostess.

 The party.  Alexa was still napping.

 Can't get past those eyes. Seriousness.  Don't mess with my tea. :-)

 Saying good bye.

(Alexa's word for this is "hagabo" for "huckepack", German for piggy back. :-) )
