It's a Mad Wonderland


I am lucky to count among my acquaintances a very creative and fun-loving family. Over the weekend, the grandma had a party for her granddaughter who turned twelve. Not content to have an ordinary cake and ice cream pop-some-balloons party, this grandmother went all out with a Mad Hatter tea party.  I'm guessing the birthday girl will never forget her twelfth birthday. I don't think I'll ever forget it either, and I wasn't even there.

The birthday girl with her splendid cake



The amazing grandma who made all the hats. Each attendee decorated their own.

The great watermelon seed spitting contest


And now....various attendees and their mad hats!



The goodies


I don't think I will ever look at birthday parties in the same way.

  2. Ken: I've never seen anything like it either. I begged the participants to pretty please let me use their photos on my blog. This was too good to keep to myself.

  4. Auntie M: And what a good pun it was! :) I will relay to the photographer (who happened to be the birthday girl's mother)your compliments. I'm sure she will be grateful because she works hard at it.

  10. I wondered when Jill would see these photos. The creator of the hats should patent the idea.

  11. Jill: I thought of you the moment I saw these pictures, thinking that this would be like something you would do! I can just see your children (and you!) dressed up in these.

    Auntie M: We know our Jill, don't we? :) I think the creator found the idea online somewhere, though not sure. I'm calling one of her daughters tonight to see if they'll share.

  16. Daisy: Aren't they fun? I know if I tried to make one myself it wouldn't turn out nearly as cute as these did.

You won't be paid for it, but at least you'll know that you have contributed intelligence to the universe...
