Mika helped to plan the menu of, blueberry tea, strawberry lemonade, banana cupcakes, mints, mini cheescakes, cucumber sandwiches, fruit, and scones. It was exciting to pull out the tea cups Papa brought home from India and the tea pot Papa brought home from Minsk. Mika has been dying to use the tea pot. It was its first use in 12 years!
To add to the ambiance we borrowed some dress-up dresses from Mrs. Lillyman. The girls dressed-up in dresses before having tea. Mika enjoyed her time with her friends and wished it could have been longer!
Mika's brothers also wanted to participate. They were quite disappointed when they found out that there was not a place set for them around the table. Benji worked really hard to get their attention and was very sad at the end of the party when we didn't have time to do one of the activities we had planned.

I remember have a
"tea party" birthday when I was a little girl. We all wore hats and used my mom's pretty dishes. Mika will remember it forever!
I do not know how we still think alike even this many miles apart!! Emery had a tea party this year as well. We had a great time. The girls dressed up and what do you know Evin wanted to join in as well. I am sure Mika had a great time too. Hope you all are doing well.
