Princess "TEA" Birthday Party

So for the last couple months; actually since we had Landon's Birthday Party Hailey has been telling me what she wants for her birthday. About a week after Landon's party; Hailey said "I want cupcakes for my party too." I just kinda laughed thinking she was just thinking out loud. I told her we could do that for sure. So about a month later she said " I want to have a Tea Party, but like we do with cocoa." It was such a cute idea that I decided we should do that. She got an adorable Princess and the Frog Tea set last year for her birthday from our friends Amalia and Brent. The first time we played with it I explained to her that we do not drink tea, but we could have juice, milk, water or even hot cocoa. So every time we play with it now she always offers me hot cocoa. It is SO cute!!
ANYWAYS...
So the idea for her party was her own and the party was a hit!! She invited all her princess girlfriends and mommies to attend. I just did a Facebook Invite because the people who were coming already knew about the party.
The invitation said "Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a King and Queen. They longed for a child; then one day, not so long ago, their sweet Princess Hailey was born. The royal family requests your presence to celebrate Princess Hailey's FOURTH year of birth.
~ Please come dressed as your favorite Princess, Mothers are welcome to join in the fun of dressing up too. Light Refreshments will be served during the "TEA Party"
~ Please RSVP to Queen Melissa~"
I hope all who attended had a wonderful time!
 It was everything she wanted... Streamers, Princess Castle ...
 Presents, Balloons, Happy Birthday Banner...
 Princess TEA Table ready for food... We had ALL Princess Hailey's favorites... chicken sandwiches, fruit salad, pretzel's, veggies and dip, fishie crackers, teddy grahams with a cream cheese dip, Reese's peanut butter cups and some AMAZING TEA Punch...
 AND a Cupcake stand FULL of Princess Cupcakes!
 The little crowns on top were SO cute!!
 Hailey liked to hide in her castle while she waited for the guests to arrive.
 We played a game of KISS THE FROG. We put lipstick on the little girls and spun them around and let them see who got the closest to kissing the frog. Haley Harden WON! It was cute!
 When the little Princess's arrived they received a wand a tiara. Hailey told me she wanted them to have Party Hats and I thought this would work out nicely...
 Lauren and her daughter Princess Morgan...
 Alex and her daughter Princess Grace...
 Megan and her daughter Princess Reagan... (I have a better picture of Megan below)
 Amy and her daughter Princess Haley...
 And there is Megan holding little Morgan. Amber was behind the camera the whole time (THANKS AMBER) but she did not get a picture of herself for me... trust me she was there!
 Hailey enjoyed opening up her presents.
 She was a VERY lucky girl this year.
We had cupcakes and then just hung out and talked until the boys came home.
That night as I put Hailey to sleep in her bed I told her she was SO Lucky to have lots of people that love her. And she said "I know Mommy, Thanks for my Princess Tea Party." And she gave me a kiss and went to bed. I am thankful for the sweet moments I get with her. She truly is my little Princess.
