Rooftop Tea Party

Talmage's friend Rose had her fourth birthday, and he was lucky enough to be invited to her rooftop tea party birthday celebration.

These little munchkins, clad in party dresses and ties, ate tea sandwiches, mini cupcakes, brownies and chocolate dipped strawberries...all while enjoying the beautiful view of NYC.

I must say that my Mr. T was looking awfully handsome in his tea party attire. I think it was the English coming out in him!

Laura did such a great time with the party. I mean really, look at that set-up...

...and since she not only has a four-year-old, but also these twin cuties, and she pulled off the party, I've decided I'm totally nominating her for mother of the year.

Talmage is so sweet. It's funny because when it's just the two of us he is super feisty, but when we get around other children he is super mellow and charming. I love seeing all sides of him.

Gabe is one of Talmage's best playmates. Isn't she the cutest?

They even sat next to each other at the tea party. How sweet!

Round one of musical chairs turned ugly when the birthday girl didn't get a chair. Tears. Hysterics. Plan B--put out enough chairs for all the kids and they all just have to sit down when the music stops. Round two of musical chairs failed when this little muchacho decided that the seat he wanted had been taken by another child...even though there were other open seats. Tears. Hysterics. We had no plan c and there was no round 3!

Mr. T lounging on the roof while all the other kids are playing games. He probably needed the rest after downing his portion of treats...plus all the other kid's leftovers!

All the Tea-Partiers!
