A half-birthday party... just a little late

Grace's birthday party is done and only almost 7 months late! ;c) I had morning sickness and felt awful when it was her birthday in January, so she and I decided she would have a half-birthday party. That would have been mid-July, but her best friend was traveling until yesterday, so we had it today. :c) She had a fancy "tea" party. I, admittedly, slacked due to just being tired and uncomfortable, but Grace had a great time and I think the girls enjoyed it.



The table was set with my mom's old china:


Cupcakes made by one of the moms:


The tea pot Grace got for her birthday from my mom:




All the glass items belonged to my two grandmothers. The cupcake stand belongs to the mom that made the cupcakes. The speakers are from the computer that usually is on that table(but was on the floor today) and we had classical piano solos playing in the background.:


They decorated their fancy bonnets:




And had lunch:


After lunch, they watched a movie, then it was time to go home. Whew. It wasn't a ton of effort and was a pretty simple party, but I was standing and walking for most of the morning. My back and feet are sore. Time to relax for a bit.
