Last Tuesday, Jenna and I went to DI alone and shopped for an assortment of tea cups, saucers, pitchers, and even scored with a unicorn center piece. We picked out 3 lady-dresses for dress-up and a grab-bag of jewelry. She picked out a curtain that would serve as a tablecloth, and we were ready for a tea party. She invited 3 girls to the party yesterday. They came dressed up. We made fans... very apropos. They also did a headband craft. After that, the girls picked jewels to wear and donned glittery eye shadow and lipstick. They were ready for high tea. They each helped set the table. At this age, they just love that....setting the table, pouring the jelly beans, arranging the strawberries, contributing to the fanciness of it all. They sat to their water, juice or milk and indulged on animal crackers, wafers, jelly bellies (perhaps the favorite), strawberries, raspberries and cake- pinkies up, of course.
Then Jenna opened her presents and the girls went home. It was fun! They all got along great, they giggled a lot and shared very well. They were just "dawwling, darling!" as they fanned themselves and giggled. I enjoyed Jenna very much, and her friends are such good and fun girls.
Yesterday afternoon, Aunt Lissy wanted to take Jenna to get her ears pierced. When Jenna was a baby, she had her ears pierced, but they grew shut after taking them out. Jenna has talked about getting her ears pierced, but thought that she would be too scared. Aunt Lissy gave her just the courage she needed. Jenna was a bit nervous. She reports that, "yes, it hurt!". After she was done, she cried a little, but only after she smiled at the earrings in the mirror. She is feeling quite fancy now with no complaints! She is quite beautiful if you ask me. Thank you, Aunt Lissy!
Today, was actually Jenna's birthday. We went to Church and she said, "I loved church today!". They, no doubt, sang to her and made her feel special. Then we came home and Steve cooked up her meal request. We all ate well! I am still full. Jenna ate so much shrimp that she was too full to eat her mashed potatoes with gravy, that is a big deal! Later, we had cake and ice cream, and she opened her gifts. This year, the toys she loves are LPS (Littlest Pet Shop, duh!) and Barbie.
We headed to Grandma Teacups tonight after cake, and they all sang to her and spoiled her there too!
Jenna seemed to have a great birthday weekend. She was so pleasant and appreciative. I am thankful to be Jenna's mom.
Happy Birthday, Jenna!
