Valentine's Day

We love our holidays. For Valentine's Day, as our valentine to the girls, we decided to throw a Valentine Tea Party for girls and dolls. We let each girl invite three friends.

We used my grandmother's tea cup collection, pink and silver china and linens, and dainty decor. The dolls had tea cups, a tea pot, creamer and sugar as well. Joe used his best British accent to serve them. (You can click to enlarge the pictures.)

  

 

 

 

  

For the food, we served heart-shaped Napoleons filled with raspberries and vanilla cream, watermelon hearts, strawberries with Nutella, and other treats. We also served raspberry tea. The hit of the party, however, was the sugar cubes! Never has so much tea been drunk!

 

 

    

 

We had camping, horses and a bakery set up for the dolls in Jia's room.

 

 

 

Willa's room had gymnastics and other sports, and the doll hospital. 

 

 

We had a craft table in the basement where the girls made valentines, bookmarks, votives and bracelets for themselves and their dolls. I did not get too many pictures down there as I was wielding a glue gun for most of the time. :-)

 

Overall, it was so much fun. I think it will be an annual tradition!
