it's our beautiful elenas birthday tomorrow and my gal pal luisa decided we needed to throw a surprise morning tea for her today. it was super fun and i am so glad we managed to pull it off.
she was so chuffed with it all and it was lovely being able to spoil her. we played a game of "who knows elena best?" with answers that lu had maanged to get out of her under the pretense that we needed them for a relief society lesson next week. the best bit was hearing what her husband had said in answer to each one. crack up!
all the ladies bar one who had just left!
decorations were easy, i had pretty much everything on hand, but nipped down to an undeveloped area that's less than 5 minutes drive away, that has geraldton wax growing wild everywhere! it's amazing cause i could just snip off what i needed and race back home afterwards to put together huge vases of it... then gift what was left afterwards in old empty jars. i love real flowers so much more than fakes when they are an option.
tea cups from mums house... used over and over and over. i think they are probably the best investment she's ever made!
ready for our game...
balloons delivered by luisas mum just in time and gorgeous bunting made by mum whilst working in the home ec department at pesega in samoa on her mission.
of course there was food galore as everyone turned up with something...
was a lovely little morning. happy birthday lanes! ♥
