Chloe's 4th Birthday - A Princess Tea Party Parade

The theme for Chloe's party was totally her idea! We had so much fun working on all the details!

 
The cake was totally picked out by Chloe - Minnie Mouse and tea party go together, right?  
Jillian's mom, Judy (aka Udy) helped us collect all the china & flatware. The serving pieces came from my work, and the location was Best Impressions restaurant. 
Each place setting had a dinner plate, tea cup and saucer, fork and spoon - all mismatched!  I made the napkins from the colorful, fun fabric. The girls got a princess necklace and the boys got Legos as a party favor. 
We offered 3 flavors of hot tea, iced tea, water and cucumber-mint water
Shane and I had some fun with the tea party food. Pictured above is watermelon and proscuitto skewers 
Shane made homemade zucchini bread with chicken salad
Biscuits with bacon jam (several jam varieties were offered along with whipped honey butter) and smoked sausage with cheddar cheese skewers 
Strawberry short cake and banana pudding in mini mason jars 
We made deviled eggs, but can't take credit for the macaroons -those were from Sweet Love  
Pretty flowers for a pretty birthday girl! 
Shortbread cookies

Time to blow out the candles!4 years old! Happy Birthday, Chloe!
