More Birthday Tea Party Pictures

After the kids finished their tea and sandwiches we played a few tea party games. Here they are making edible bracelets out of licorice laces and fruity cheerios and cereal straws. I got the idea out of the Family Fun magazine.

Then we played pin the tea bag on the tea cup and had sugar cube relays where they had to race with a sugar cube on their spoon.

Mom made these adorable tea pot and tea cup cookies with some cookie cutters I found on eBay.

And here is Ali with her teapot cake! I'm usually not one to attempt a difficult cake task, but this one was hard to pass up. It really wasn't all that bad. I cooked the cake batter in my 8-cup Pyrex measuring bowl, then cut the spout and handle out of frozen Sara Lee pound cake.

I have to give a HUGE thank you to Steve and Mom, Dad and Grandma for helping me out on the morning of the party. I had been sick with food poisoning since Friday night. When I woke up on Sunday, the morning of the party, I felt like I needed to cancel the party and go to the ER because I was so weak and dehydrated. But thankfully, Steve turned into the "Gatorade Police" and kept on me to keep drinking. And Mom, Dad and Grandma came over early to help me pull this party off. Thank you!!!!!
