Teddy Bear Tea at The Hotel

Greeted by a warm fuzzy bear.
{It's a super special secret, but the bear is really AUBIE}

Look at the spread

~ ~ hot chocolate {teddy bear tea in AGP's world}, pb&j, ham & cheese, and desserts ~~


An elf {former student of Papa's} read Christmas stories by the fire.

Then Christmas carols were sung by all!
AGP sang and danced her little heart out!
They concluded the tea by letting all the little girls visit the candy cart!

Dying to touch the train ~ ok ~ really ~ the candy decorations of the landscape.

Sweetness...


Just in case you haven't seen enough!
By the way ~ we were not allowed to washAGP's face for 3 days!
Yes, she went to mass with her face painted much to her papa's dismay!

Face Painting ~ Amazing

Miss Bobbie, face painting's version of Paula Deen, spends hours creating masterpieces on little faces!

The entire time she paints~ she chats with the children and makes them feel like perfect angels!

She had all the kids eating out of the palm of her hand with her sweet, southern charm!

AGP sat perfectly still and paid close attention to all the directions while Frosty was being painted on her cheek.

{Miss Bobbie - will you come live with us?}

AGP admiring her Frosty the Snowman and her Rudolph nose.

This is more like our little "angel"!

Notice the very special BLING added to the ears?

Sleepy time!
