::Daffodil Princess Tea 2010 ::

This Year's Daffodil Princess Tea was one of our best events yet!

Each year springtime is full of events brought to you by the Daffodil Festival and Supporters- and Laurel Creek Manor is the host to the annual Daffodil Princess Tea!

Here are some photos from this year's Daffodil Princess Tea, brought to you by the lovely photographer Rebecca Brotman! Rebecca brought her two lovely little girls to the tea and was kind enough to capture the afternoon for us!

All of the Princesses come for an afternoon of princess fun- mothers, grandmothers, and even a few dad's bring their little girls to enjoy a day in the life of a princess!

When they arrive, they are greeted at the door by beautiful "real" princesses dressed in magical yellow gowns and tiaras. Each little girl is crowned with their own real tiara and given an autograph book! The crowns came in the prettiest little boxes... perfect to use as a little purse for the event!

They spend the afternoon meeting and mingling with the daffodil royal court, they have a real tea party full of food and yummy drinks, and enjoy a show from the Princesses!

The Princess Tea was one of the cutest things we have ever seen. The little girls were truly "princesses for a day," all dressed up in their favorite spring dresses and on their best princess behavior! They got autographs and made friends!

And of course a Princess Tea is not complete without a little food a beverage! Thanks to the wonderful Act 3 Catering, the event had lots of goodies for everyone to enjoy!

All of the daffodil princesses that make up the Royal Court come from the high schools in and around the South Sound. These girls are wonderful role models and have been chosen for their outstanding participation in school and community activities! They enjoyed the tea just as much as all the little princesses, and had a great song and dance to share with us all!

I was lucky enough to spend a little time with my special guests... Miss Peyton and Miss Drue!

We can all thank my wonderful mom (and the owner of Laurel Creek Manor) Laurel Cabodi for providing such a wonderful location for the Princess Tea! She spent lots of time making sure everything was "Princess Tea ready"... planting Daffodils, decorating the manor, and even creating these beautiful yellow daffodil bistro tables for autograph signing!

Of course we had to get a picture with the Royal Court- here I am with my mom and grandma!

We had such a wonderful day for the tea- It was Sunny and warm outside... perfect for an afternoon of daffodil fun! Not only is Laurel Creek Manor bursting with daffodils this time of year, but the 5 acre field across the street is solid with them!

A great way to end the Princess Tea- a visit to the Laurel Creek Manor chickens! These little princesses had a wonderful time meeting the chickens, and even got to take home some colorful eggs!

Everyone had such a wonderful time at the tea, and it was so nice to have Rebecca Brotman and her two little girls, Peyton and Drue as my special guests!

And a big thanks to the Daffodil Festival for choosing Laurel Creek Manor as the location for the Daffodil Princess Tea! We had a wonderful time and look forward to the tea next year! To see more photos from this and previous daffodil princess tea events, visit http://www.daffodilfestival.net/ !
