Goody Bags? Check!

Oh my. It's been rainy all day and in the low 40s, which is just a preview of our winter. Just no fun. Michael's flight home was delayed by a couple hours which threw off my game plan in terms of shopping and prepping for tomorrow's big party.

But the shopping happened eventually and a some of the prepping, too. We have 8 beautiful goody bags, a plan for a pretty tea table, fillings for two of the adult tea sandwiches (kids are getting PB&J on cinnamon bread, nutella, and butter and cucumber; adults get more interesting varieties), and LISTS for tomorrow. With any luck at all, the rain won't be quite as bad as it was today. Darcy's birthday tea party is at the historic Requa Inn, which is owned by friends of ours. I was there for work on our very sunny Monday and the views from the dining room were lovely. I'm afraid we might just get clouds and fog tomorrow, but I hope not.

Wish us luck -- this is the first real kids' birthday party we've thrown!

How did it go?

It went pretty well! Chaos ensued, of course. I had this lovely sedate plan that lasted all of five minutes. I'll get some pics up.
