The tea party was next! The girls were ushered into the dining room that I had managed to squeeze in an additional small table to fit up against my dining table.  Food served was homemade sugar cookies decorated in pink and red sugar (my daughter and I did these together the day before), pastel colored mini marshmallows in a big silver bowl, pastel skittles served from my silver sugar skuttle and scoop (they LOVED doing this!), mini blueberry muffins, pink sugar wafer cookies, flower "ring" butter cookies, Carr's tea biscuits and blueberry wafer biscuits, and fruit skewers of apple, pineapple, red grapes and strawberrys. I used paper parasols left over from a luau we had the year before to skewer the fruit. To drink was pink lemonade and Raspberry Iced Tea.  I had bought a cute teapot that stacked on its own teacup for my daughter to feel special. It was decorated in a subtle Christmas theme (party was in August), but she never noticed and loved it!!
