Tea for Two

On Saturday, Reese and I had girls' day out! No boys allowed, and it was FUN! We went to the Magic House with Jodi and Lainey, and my friend, Kenna and her daughter, Mackenzie for tea with Cinderella. Lainey and Reese wore matching tiara ensembles from Gymboree (and once I get a new computer, I'll post some of the pictures). They looked adorable. When we arrived, they seated us at our table which was decked out with jewels and a pumpkin centerpiece. The girls decorated paper crowns while they waited for the tea to begin. Then the fairy godmother came out and welcomed us. Cinderella arrived in her humble clothes, and I don't think any girl in the place had a clue who she was. Minus the big, blue dress and headband, she was just another cute blonde. Well, she sang and then went upstairs to change for the ball. That's when we were served our tea. They brought tea and apple juice, and plates of cookies, petit fours, and creme balls. They were very good. We ate and talked, and then Cinderella came back. This time she was joined by Prince Charming. They circulated through the tables signing autographs and taking pictures. When Cinderella started inching toward our table, Reese put her head down. I looked at her like, "What do you think you're doing?" She said she didn't want her picture taken. Are you kidding me? I bought these tickets and drove here for you to be bashful? I tried the, "Guess there's no need to go to Disneyworld if you don't even want your picture taken with Cinderella." No luck. I ended up having my picture taken with Cinderella:) I held Reese while she buried her head in my shoulder. Even Lainey, who had NOT A CLUE who
Cinderella was, had her picture taken. Just goes to show how unpredictable kids will be. Oh well, saves me $6,000 on a trip to Florida:)
