Tea Party

My sweet baby girl, Macy, is going to be 3 in just a couple of weeks. Because we are leaving right after her birthday, I decided to have her birthday party this past Saturday. She a tea party with 5 of her friends. They were so cute sipping tea in their little tea cups, eating little peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and goldfish and then cupcakes.

After lunch, they got to decorate a door hanging to take home.

After the craft came the cupcakes. I have to admit that I am very proud of Macy's cupcakes...because I made them myself. They were shaped like teacups and teapots. They were so cute. Eat your heart out Paula Dean!!

Then came time for the presents. Macy had been so patient the entire morning, she enjoyed the tea time, the lunch and the cupcakes. But once she began opening her gifts, a different Macy came out. A three year old that we had not seen before. This little Macy did not want anyone touching her presents, playing with them, or much less looking at them. I know that it is her age and this is the first time she had really understood opening presents, but I felt so bad for her friends. I don't think they understood what was going on either. Daddy had to take Macy to her room several times for "talks." Oh well, such is a three year old. I hope her friends won't hold it against her.
