the "right" to have a "civil" tea party

Paige got to have a Girls Day - on MLK day, since they were out of school. She decided to have a tea party (this is becoming an annual event) - She was allowed to invite 10 friends. She loves all kids and the ages ranged from 2 years to 7 years. And here she is wearing her own special apron that I made her. Here are some of the girls getting ready to frost the mini cakes we had baked. This is the "little girls" table and the table that Paige wanted to stay at.

Here you go. I was trying to explain to Abbey that this is what "normal" babies look like... Instead of her 70's love-child over abundance of hair that she was born with. And this is what you get when you have a 3 month old with a load of hair - teenie tiny piggie tails. I made the kids have a photo shoot.
