Ready for Church.
Teddy Bear Tea at the Ritz
Feeding BunBun a little bit of food.
Tea wouldn't be complete without scones.
Lauren and her new teddy bear.
Christmas Caroling on the hayride with Blaire.
Petting the horses.
More horses.
And more horses.
Today was a full day. We started the day with church. Since it is the Sunday before Christmas, Lauren wore her fancy Christmas dress to church. She likes to get dressed up and I like to dress her up. I love this dress. I love the big bow in the front, it looks so fancy and festive.
We left church and had a light lunch before heading to the Ritz for the Teddy Bear Tea. This is a very cute (and expensive) event. It was so cute to see all the little girls (and a few boys) dressed in their fancy Christmas dresses. The children had hot cocoa and the adults got the tea. We had finger sandwiches and some little desserts and of course, scones. Mrs. Claus was there and they also had a puppet show. Santa was also planned to be there but for some reason he did not show up. That surprised me because it was a lot of money and that it was the Ritz that was hosting this event. I would have thought that they would have made sure the Santa was there. Lauren had fun but this is one of those things that you experience once and you don't have to do it again. Lauren was a bit disappointed that Santa was not there but she was fine once she received her bear.
We left the, changed clothes and met Janine and Don, Elaine, Blaire and Grant for some Christmas caroling. Elaine takes horseback riding lessons and they host a hayride Christmas caroling event each year. We went around the neighborhood and sang songs. It was fun and the neighbors seemed to enjoy it. Then we come back to the stable area had chili and hot dogs and etc. Lauren just wanted to pet all the horses.
We headed home after the carolling. Lauren was asleep within a few minute of her head hitting the pillow. The next few days are going to be busy but fun. So far this has been a nice holiday season.
