Teddy Bear Tea Party!

I really don't remember much of my life at the age of four. I am pretty certain however, that I didn't have Teddy Bear Tea Parties at school! Last Friday the kiddos in Mackenzie's class we asked to dress up like royalty. . .the "men" were to wear ties, and the ladies were to wear their finest royal garb! Mackenzie was so excited that she was allowed to be a princess for the day that she smiled all the way to school. I even let her wear the tiara that I wore on my wedding day! :)

The kids were also asked to bring in their favorite teddy bear to help them celebrate. Mackenzie brought in a bear that Matt gave to me many years ago. It's a white teddy bear angel, with beautiful white and gold wings. I was a bit antsy allowing Mackenzie to take it with her to school, but figured that at least it was being played with instead of just sitting on her bed. She never really paid attention to the bear, but after it accompanied her to school that day, she has slept with it ever since.

Here is a photo of Mackenzie enjoying her teddy bear tea party. The snack was none other than "Teddy Grahams" served w/"tea", aka apple juice.
