Tea Time!

Riley adores having tea parties, so we decided to have the ultimate tea party for her 5th birthday.  Gigi, Grandma and I took Riley and 6 of her little girl friends to afternoon tea at the Brown Palace on Saturday. 
 
The Brown Palace has always been a special place for our family and we have celebrated many holidays and special occasions there so we figured that it was the perfect place to mark this very big milestone.  The girls were all dressed in their prettiest dresses and came with their best manners for a very elegant tea party.

 
They sipped vanilla tea and nibbled on scones with Devonshire cream, tea sandwiches and lots of scrumptious mini desserts.
 

 
 
The girls loved the musicians that played during the tea and they got to check out the harp and get up close to the piano too. 

The piano player played "Happy Birthday to You" as they brought out a little cake for Riley Roo.
 

 
After all the sweets and treats, we let the little girls loose on the hotel.  It was a sort of like Eloise at the Plaza, they had waited very patiently to able to go check out all of the floors that they could see from below and there is just something too irresistible about a hotel when your kid.
 
Riley had so much fun celebrating her birthday with her very own, very girly tea party and we loved having all over her sweet little girlfriends there with us!
