Boston & Teddy Bear Tea

Today, Paige and I had a mother-daughter day in the city.  I took the day off work, we got dressed up and we headed into Boston for some holiday fun. 

First we walked through the commons and said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Mallard.


Then we stopped for lunch on Newbury Street.



After lunch, we stopped in to get our nails done.  The nail ladies were eating Paige up, said she could stay and work there.  I told them she would probably be back in 15 years!

After some shopping on Newbury Street (mostly window) we headed to the Four Seasons for the Teddy Bear tea.  I got tickets in August after a friend told me about this event (yes, they sell out that early). It was super cute.  You bring a new teddy bear to donate to a needy child.  Paige name hers "Teddy" and wrote a note to the child it will be going to and placed it under the bear tree. 

Here she is with Truffles the Bear.  Paige had a thing for Truffles (imagine that)  she is partial to the character animals - she will be in her glory when we finally go to Disney.  She kept hugging Truffles and talking to him.

 Loving all the bears as the place was decked with them.
 Placing Teddy under the tree with all his other donated friends.
 Couldn't resist getting up close.
 Time for our fine treats.  We each got an assortment of goodies, Paige got hot chocolate and tea for me.
 At story time, guess who was all snuggled up close to Truffles.
