Kathleen and I greeted all the guest at the door - me dressed as Miss Clavel and Kathleen as Madeline. We all sat down and I read a Madeline story to the girls. Then, they each got their very special Paris shopping bag to use as we stepped into the living room to "shop" in Paris.
First stop was the Clothing Shop. Waiting for each little girl with a card that said "Made especially for their name" was their own handmade Madeline caplet and yellow hat. They quickly put them on. The room was then filled with little Madelines!!!!
In Two straight lines we then moved on to the Flower Shop. There, they picked flowers out of buckets and put together pretty bouquets and tied them with yellow ribbons.
We traveled to the next store which was the very popular Candy Shop . They filled their pretty yellow cartons with yummy treats!
The Art Studio was last. The Girls loved coloring wonderful pictures of Madeline and her friends.
We all lined up in two straight lines and we moved into the dining room where the Tea Party was all set up for them. They dined with real china plates, tea cups and cloth napkins. Inside the little white boxes were Eiffel Tower charm necklaces. They enjoyed jelly sandwiches, crescent rolls, cheese, pepperoni ,fruit & lemonaide . It was so cute to sit back and watch them. We would here "please pass the fruit" ...all were using their lady like manners! :)
Yummy "Yellow Hat" Cake and ice cream was next. It was so cute while they were all eating Kathleen said to everyone "I am enjoying my Madeline Birthday so much!"
After they young ladies were finished, we moved back into the living room where Kathleen opened her wonderful gifts. Miss Clavel then brought out a giant bowl of popcorn and the girls watched a short Madeline cartoon. We then moved out side for pictures. :)
I think all the little Madelines had a great time! Thank you so much for sharing Kathleen's special day with her!
Happy Birthday Sweet Kathleen!
:)
What an awesome birthday party! You are so incredibly creative. What an amazing Mom!
