My little girl turned five this weekend and we celebrated with a super girly tea party!
I was inspired by this balloon wreath tutorial but ended up having to do mine differently because I couldn't find a straw wreath form or greening pins. Instead I used straight pins and a foam wreath form. It is such a happy little wreath, it seriously makes my heart swoon!
We served little sandwiches, of course!
And we dressed up as ladies and gents all set for tea!
I can't believe it's been five years since our lives changed forever.
They grow up fast, don't they?
