So imagine my pleasant surprise to receive an invitation to one Kathleen Callen's big day party. Now, because Kathleen is a lady, I won't say her age, but it was a BIG BIRTHDAY. And her mother, Bonnie, took her responsibility to throw her baby a party for the ages quite seriously.
And the day dawned, bright and early.... and all attendees gathered anxiously.... for.....
A tea party. A tea party that beats down any other tea party EVER.
you got to even pick which cup you liked best for your tea |
This was no ordinary tea party. Bonnie did her homework.
menus were involved |
There were finger sandwiches, many kinds of homemade cookies, jams, jellies, scones; you name it, Bonnie had made it. There was even, in homage to its recent movie release,
star wars cookies |
It was quite a swanky affair.
heck, even the queen made an appearance |
After tea, Bonnie invited all of the ladies to come into the kitchen where she had prepared, from scratch, a gingerbread house for each of us to decorate as we like.
it was like santa's workshop but in real life |
We spent hours in her kitchen creating our masterpieces. Such a fun afternoon with such fun ladies!
i seriously want to live in it |
and mother of the hour, Bonnie, with her birthday girl. thank you for such a fun party! |
Not only did we get to take our masterpieces home, Bonnie sent each of us with a personal care package as well.
i was preparing for my disney excursion |
basket full of goodies |
Super fun day with friends. Thank you Bonnie for allowing us to celebrate such a great gal with such a great party! Your thoughtfulness is truly appreciated!
Happy Birthday (again) Kathleen!
