A Victorian Tea Party

We wanted to make sure Maddie's 9th birthday was a little extra special. It would be her last birthday right before saying good-bye to all her friends and moving across the country. She wanted a fancy tea party birthday, and since our house was in the process of being packed up and filled with boxes, we thought it would be nice to have the party somewhere else.
 
We decided on the Tea Room in Port Gamble, and it was so much fun. The girls got to dress up in fancy dresses and hats, learn some proper tea time etiquette, and then have their very own grown-up tea party. The little tea sandwiches and finger foods were a hit, and the birthday cake was beautiful. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Maddie's birthday, and also a nice way to spend time with some dear friends before our big move.
