I was going through some old pictures on my phone and realized I never posted about the very special Christmas event my sister Nikki and I took our girls to a few days before Christmas: The Teddy Bear Tea at the Ritz.

We were greeted by teddy bears!

 

Then got to decorate cookies.

 

 

 

And fill up candy bags.

 

 

Then we sat down at our tables and waited patiently for hot cocoa and goodies.

 

 

 

Santa briefly made the rounds (don’t worry, he comes back).

 

 

And then Mrs. Claus read stories to all the kids

 

 

While the grown ups enjoyed their sweets and champagne.

 

 

Afterwards we tried to get some pics of Campbell and Ella.

 

 

And then the girls finally got to sit on Santa’s lap! Pretty cool that the Ritz was able to book the REAL Santa!
