My sweet baby girl turned 8 on Thursday. She requested that her mom, dad and 2 older brothers serenade her on the morning of her birthday by singing "Happy Birthday" (with the cha-cha-cha's) while she was still in bed. For breakfast, I made her monogrammed pancakes with a "S" and an "8". We even added a candle and sang- AGAIN!The beautiful flowers arrived from my mom (she is recovery at home and will start chemo in a few weeks)
Preparations for Sheridan's Chinese Tea party are in full swing! My friend, Sandy, and I went down to Chinatown on Tuesday and I bought Mandarin dresses for Sheridan and her guests. Sheridan will wear red and her friends will be in pink.
I made tags for each girl asking them to wear the dress to the party.
I handed out the dresses on Wednesday and the girls are getting very excited about the party. At $9 each, they are making quite an impression.
Last night, we melted different colored chocolate and dipped fortune cookies in it and then dipped them in pearlized sprinkles.
I even wrote custom fortunes.
Her party is on Sunday, so be sure to check out Monday's post for more pictures!

We ran out of sprinkles and then tested out some big sugar. Sheridan liked the look, so it saved me another trip to the store! I am giving each guest 6 cookies in a frosted take-out box and decorated with ribbon.
Her party is on Sunday, so be sure to check out Monday's post for more pictures!I'm off to build a structure out of bamboo to hang the paper lanterns on over the table.

So did you record your family singing Happy Birthday to the princess as she lounged in bed? :) That was soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteWow, it sounds like her party will be over the top---but of course it would since you are pulling it off! How amazing---pink bags with a special party dress for each little guest! I am amazed at every detail you add, Donna, right down to the font on the little notes to the girls!
The little fortune cookies are just wonderful, too.
Your mom sent some beautiful flowers--I hope she is feeling a bit better and resting up for her next health phase.
Have fun at the party and Happy Pink Sat.! Dana

ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you got the kimonos for a mere $9.00--I always thought California prices were far higher than the midwest's.
You sure got a lot of "bang for your buck". The fortune cookies are soooo cute too.
I'll be checking back on Monday and Tuesday to see if you posted the party pics.
Hugs from your tea buddy:)
