This past weekend was a lovely weekend for our family. My daughters and I visited our first Maidens of Virtue meeting and we had great fun enjoying breakfast and an encouraging Bible study on being an organized woman and tea-party-invitation-making with other mothers and daughters. At the same time my sons went to a Men of Valor meeting and got the privilege of shooting potato cannons (isn't this every boys dream?) with other fathers and sons.
And yes, I said potato!!!
But the best part of the weekend was that my sweet little princess, Joy Noelle, turned seven. We were excited to host another tea party for her:
The Princess Tea Party Table

But the best part of the weekend was that my sweet little princess, Joy Noelle, turned seven. We were excited to host another tea party for her:
A Close Up
There were also pink balloons and streamers hanging from the chandelier but you can't see that in these pictures.
Fruit-kabobs handmade by the maidens
Here are some of the finger foods, punch, cheese and crackers, tea party cookies made with love and we had a princess cake that both older sisters made for her that was pink and topped with a tiara, princess necklace and earrings.
The little girl maidens got to make mini-birthday cakes out of oreo cookies, frosting and sprinkles and got to take them home. Naomi made all the namecards and read this poem which I copied and printed and included in their giftbags as well:
Why God Made Little Girls
God made the world with towering trees,
Majestic mountains and restless seas.
Then paused and said , "It needs one more thing...
Someone to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the wood and gather flowers...
To commune with nature in quiet hours."
So God made little girls
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles,
Enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun.
He was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world, when seen through little girl's eyes
Greatly resembled Paradise.
Afterwards, Janai played a beautiful piece of music on the violin (it sounds like this) and her special friend Jasmine sang some songs to her that she wrote herself. We also got to talk about how God is good and how He made them special and how one day they would also do tea parties with their own daughters.

And, oh yes, we couldn't forget the toilet paper game!
I am so proud of my little girl, she makes me so happy and is truly a JOY to be around! And what is a birthday without a little tree climbing?
We hope you enjoyed viewing pictures of our Princess Tea Party!
