Tea with Brie

This past Saturday I was honored with a baby sprinkle by a few awesome friends, Nikki, Callie, and Molly, with valuable contributions from my sister in law, Katie, and friends Audrey and Sandi.  My parents flew in to help and to celebrate with us, which was so wonderful.  All I had asked for was that there be peonies, and boy were there!!

The theme was "Tea with Brie," and so we had a lovely luncheon with tea in many forms.  We wore fancy hats and ate finger sandwiches and tea.  Everyone got a vintage teacup as a favor, as well as a tea bag and a little honey straw.  It was just so amazing and perfect!  The activity was for everyone to write thoughtful letters to Cubbie, to be put in a teapot time capsule for her to open when she's older.  Yeah, there were tears.  So, so many happy tears.

The most beautiful diaper cake, that will keep Cubbie covered for the first month, I'm sure!

My parents decided to get Willa a big sister gift so that she wouldn't feel too left out when I was opening so many gifts.  They found her the absolute perfect match in an American Girl doll, down to the name!  It had her same eye color, hair color, teeth spacing, and was named "Willa"!  I bought the doll some purple glasses to match Willa's, and she was smitten.  When she opened it, she said, "Can I play with me?!"  Love it.

Perfect match!

She was enamored.

Overall I was so thrilled with the whole day.  Everyone was so sweet, and every detail was so well thought out.  How lucky I am to have such an amazing group of women around me.  Also, that I have a Dad that was willing to come just to work and take pictures for me!  I can't stop counting my blessings.

At the end of the party, Willa got some good big sister practice in with baby Eric.  She was a little startled by him poking her face at first, but after Nikki hooked his arm under hers, she was smitten.  She kept giving him hugs and kisses, and I thoroughly melted.

What a precious day <3.
