Helloooooo Kitty!

For Chloe's birthday party, she wanted a Hello Kitty Tea Party. She invited all of the girls from her class plus a few other special friends. We ended up with 14 little girls and 3 big boys (Hayden had 2 friends over, too) for afternoon tea. Due to our freaky rain-of-the-century storm the few days prior, it was cold and wet and soggy outside, so the entire party was held in my living room. It was quite, um, croweded. Chloe had so much fun, and was a wonderful hostess. She showed the girls where the activities were, led them the playroom to play and was so sweet to all of her friends.

We did manage to have the pinata outside, because I had to draw the line at 17 kids swinging a bat inside of the living room. Thank goodness my wonderful father-in-law and my husband covered the patio last year!

The girls were such ladies- they even knew how to do "pinkies out". We used real china tea cups, and no cups were hurt in the making of this party.

Chloe has the sweetest little friends. They all get along really well and play well together and are nice to each other. Not to mention very, very cute.

The girls made their very own goody bags and necklaces. Ellie worked very hard on her necklace, then accidently dropped it before I closed it. She had to rebead it and work very hard on it again. Ellie likes being one of the big girls, too.

finally, Chloe's birthday is officially over, and I can't believe she is 6! Now I need a nap.
