Tea Party Fit for a 5 Year Old

Tea Party Fit for a 5 Year Old

Theme After a few years of giant blow out birthday parties for my older daughter, I decided to go with a smaller, intimate tea party theme for her 5th birthday. She was in the midst of the princess age so I convinced her it was a Belle themed Tea Party :). We kept the...
