The Booth Ohana: Tea because she is Three!

Mar 9, 2012

Tea because she is Three!

We had a tea party for Hea Bug. Last year she got a Mrs. Potts, Beauty and the Beast plastic tea set that has seen weeks with the bath toys, the bag of park toys, the sand at the beach, mud in the backyard... And a whole lot of washing.

She has tea parties with her animals, with her dolls, with her parents, with her buddies.

We enjoyed time with buddies and yummy eats, sweets and treats.

Auntie Nini took charge of decorations and party favors. Each little gal pal got elbow gloves and a hand made top hat head band. For the fellas there were new ties.

Trampoline jumpers jumped, playground players played, toys were enjoyed, piñata was busted open... eventually...

*Little side story... At the last minute I decided that a party is just not a party without that piñata so I picked one up at Target. Yes, a darn $20 for an unfilled disney princess piñata. We fill it up and let the kids have at it. One at a time they swing away, with a bat. A metal one. We have ball players in our life so there was no mercy. It started to fall apart so Mr. B, taped it up to ensure everyone got a turn. He's an excellent taper and everyone got at least two turns. When the piñata finally surrendered, the candies inside were pretty much broken. My pal asked why we didn't just have the kids pull the strings provided... See, I didn't read the instructions that came with the piñata as I already considered myself an expert. Hit, break, run, collect, eat... Well, had I taken a second I would have found that my $20 piñata was one of these new style, everyone gets to help kind. There were streamers hanging from the bottom, which I assumed were there for decoration. It was a Princess piñata after all. All the kids take a string and they pull together releasing all the candy at the same time from the bottom. Ah Ha... That's why it wasn't breaking. Note to self: Read the Instructions.
