Wondering what I did with
that table, are you?
Well~Yesterday we had
a French themed party
here for Little Lulu's
10th Birthday.
How DID she get to be 10?
I am doing a short post
this morning because I
am too tired to do more!
My daughter made these
"flags" for banners on
her computer.
Do you love them?
Lulu was VERY SURPRISED.
She got all choked up and
teary-eyed when she walked
in.
Her babysitter took her
for the day to spend some
special time with her and got
her all dressed up.
Then she brought her here
under the guise of
"showing Nana
how cute you look".
In the entry hall she was
met with this.
There's my table and I
will show you more of that
another day.
A banner across the opening
into the dining room read
CELEBRATE
And one across the family room
fireplace said
BONJOURE
There were roses on two tables.
Where paper plates were
married to white plates
from my everyday set.
16 friends came to celebrate..
here are the first few arrivals.
We had a beautiful
three tiered cake.
The color is hot pink but
doesn't show up that way here.
And pink malted milk balls
on a tray from my friend,
Is that the perfect tray, or what?
Now..
I am too tired to post more
right now but
SOMEONE
was REALLY EXCITED
while waiting for her sister.
She got her hair cut.
Don't you love her new do?
Sooo...while I would
LIKE to stay and CHAT
I am off for my coffee..
cuz if I don't get my
coffee- it ain't purty..
and that is all I'm gonna
say 'bout that!
Tomorrow-
Day FIVE of the
Giveaway will
continue-
PINKY PROMISE!

Wow Diana, She looked so grown up and sweetcheeks looked pretty as well. Your party look a huge success. We had a cookout at work for mine. Cheeseburgers and Hot dogs. Plus we had a birthday cake. Happy birthday to LuLu. You can tell by the smile on her face that she loved every bit of her surprise. How you managed for the kids to keep a surprise, Just shows they can if they want to. Have a great weekend. Hugs Your Missouri Friend.

This is the cutest idea for a party. Love the girls in their berets. Lulu looks precious! Hope she felt good enough to enjoy this celebration in her honor.
Happy Birthday, Lulu!
I LOVE the new "do" That child would be adorable bald!
I don't have to do things like that anymore...the daughters (now becoming grandma's themselves)..do it all. Everything looked lovely!
Awww.. such a sweet party! I love the theme. I have one turning 10 within the month! Boo....they grow up too fast!

And speaking of pretty...SC new haircut is too!
What a marvelous party! One of our daughters would LOVE a french-themed party! She was a French major in college and spent a few weeks there one summer volunteering in a center for the physically handicapped.
Wonderful party, and I am really glad that Lulu is recovering well.

This made me smile from my head to my toes. YES, my toes smile!
Love her birthday celebration; what a special young lady!

Such a pretty grown up little lady and I love the party! You are a darling!
You have such panache! My most recent post is about a party too. And as we know, it didn't come easy to post. If you can believe it I'm out $75 just for my computer guru to make it possible to post the pics on it. I think from now on I may just visit your blog to get my party-on.
What a fabulous party! No wonder you were pooped out this weekend. Your home is gorgeous! I love the table setting, the pink malt balls and the photo of all the gals dressed up for the party. I bet those gals chatted up a storm. The banners are lovely too. Ooh la, la. It looked like a blast having a themed party.
