Eden & Eliza's presents

The girls and Emmet took turns opening presents after cake time.  Here are the girls and their gifts.  

Thanks to Grandma Donna & Grandpa Arlin for the fuzzy coats and cowgirl books!

The girls then opened a gift from Mommy & Daddy.  It was a fancy dress, a hat and wand.

I was pretty tickled to find the dresses at a local consignment shop for $7 each!  They were the perfect colors and sizes.  I found the hats on clearance at Kmart for $1.99 and the wands at Dollar Tree.  The idea for this gift came when the girls saw a tea party set in a magazine and wanted the entire scene.  So, I set about trying to do my best to recreate the set without spending a fortune.

Opening pillows from Grandma Twyla & Grandpa Harold.

Robes & doll robes to match!

Warm & snuggly!

Opening crown headbands & fingernail polish & lip gloss from Paul & Janell.

American Girl movies from Uncle Jim, Aunt Amber, Garret & Alyssa.

Aprons and bonnets from Uncle Tom, Aunt Michelle, Mark & John.  And a Little House on the Prairie Book.  

One last gift from Mommy & Daddy . . . to go along with the tea party theme:  a tea set.  I found the basket, tea cups and saucers at Goodwill.  Added in some napkins, jewelry and gloves, wa-laaa . . . their very own tea party set.

Unveiling the doll dresser I made for them.  

Three cousins with their dolls and matching robes!  Thanks Grandma!

Painting nails with their new polish.  

Having a tea party!  Eliza loved her new dress, crown, tea set, etc.  It was precious to see her so happy! She even slept in her dress!  At times she can be a tomboy and tends to hang with the boys but she definitely has some princess in her, too.  

We ended our party by playing a few hands of Spit.  With 10 people!  Ten decks of cards!  Twenty hands flying everywhere!  (Amazingly, I don't think we had any injuries!)

It truly was a good time!  

All in all, it was a splendid party.  A good time was had by all.  Emmet, Eden & Eliza have enjoyed every one of their presents.
