Holiday Princess Tea Party

After enjoying the Thankful Tea last month, Marina and I were looking forward to this month's tea party with princesses and Santa. Marina decided to wear her Belle Enchanted Christmas dress, even though she knew Belle was not one of the princesses at the tea party. She also decided to bring her baby Anna and Elsa dolls.

We ran into traffic on our way to the party. We were the last to arrive but we did show up before the princesses did. We joined a mother and her two daughters who were somewhat shy. But the three girls were friends by the end of the tea party.

While we were enjoying our peppermint tea, Ariel, Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa arrived. The girls excitement was audible. After greeting everyone, the princesses began a concert of Christmas carols and songs from their movies. They began with "Carol of the Bells" - one of Marina's favorites. They also sang song more familiar to the girls, like "Frosty the Snowman," Let It Snow" and "Jingle Bells" and encouraged everyone to sing along.

After the concert, Santa made an appearance. The girls took turns having their photos taken with the princesses and Santa. We were the last group to go, but that worked out wonderfully for us. Since everyone left after their pictures, we had the princesses and Santa all to ourselves. So Marina was able to talk with the princesses, as she had been dying to throughout the concert. When Marina showed her dolls to Anna and Elsa, they each took their doll and broke into "Do You Want to Build A Snowman?" The whole group even sang "Jingle Bells" with her! We got some great pictures.

It took some convincing to get Marina to leave. She was having so much fun!
