Fairy Tea Party

The annual Provo Library Fairy Tea party happens every year right around Kira's birthday. Nana (my mom) takes all the grand daughters that are old enough (have to be 3) along with their moms. Now...this isn't any easy feat. Tickets go on sale a couple of Saturdays before the tea party and you have to actually stand in line EARLY...I'm not talking just a little early but REALLY early. This year my mom and I got there right at 7 am and we still didn't get the best seats. The library has 3 seperate teas and they all sale out within the first hour of tickets being on sale. It's a pretty big deal and a lot of fun. All of the girls dress up (and many of the mothers) in either their best dress or fairy clothing. The tea party starts out with the Fairy King and his court being introduced and seated, there are ballerinas that come and do some short dances (always the highlight for Kira) and then of course, the tea party. They give a little speal about fairy manners and tonight at dinner we all got lectured on not using good fairy manners...NO elbows on the table! EVER!
Kira adores spending this short bit of time with her cousins and she really considers the whole thing to be some big birthday celebration for her. Lots of fun...but I think next year Shannon and Megan get to stand in line for stinking tickets..it's COLD in February, outside at 6:30am!
