It's April, and my thoughts always go to Paris, because my first visit there was in April. So what an apropos theme for our tea party this month! We decorated with some Paris-themed decor...
and had a French menu.
And tea, of course! (They love a little tea with their milk and sugar!)
The little girls loved it. And I did, too, because you will notice that I used...
paper plates!
paper plates!
Sorry!
I know that's not very proper, but I couldn't help myself. These were so cute that I was drawn to them like a magnet. And how very Springtime in Paris!
Our theme was gratefulness. The girls mentioned many ways that they were grateful to their moms. Loving them, staying home with them, fixing their hair, fixing their meals, and home schooling them were a few of the things they said they were grateful for.
The craft that they made was a pot and a base decorated with jewels. When all is very dry we will put a plant in it, and they will give it to the moms for Mother's Day.

We do love tea parties!
You should have one soon! Invite little girls. They have more fun!Here is a recipe for the strawberry tarts:
16 small tart shells (frozen)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 T. cornstarch
3 T. strawberry jello
Whipped topping
Bake tart shells according to directions on package. Set aside to cool. Place sugar, water, and cornstarch in pan and bring to a boil. Sprinkle jello over this and stir till dissolved. Cook until thick and pour into tart shells. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Apply whipped topping to tarts. Enjoy!
