5:45 am this morning I headed downstairs with my two kids, one excited about princess day, and one excited about fresh scones. Last night we made our living room coffee table into a royal tea party, complete with princess crown candles, pretty ribbons and a tea set. I baked blueberry scones while they were asleep and brought out the "tea" and fresh fruit this morning. When princess Diana got married to Prince Charles, my mom baked scones and went across the street at 2am to watch the ceremony with a neighbour. This morning I knew a few of my neighbours and facebook friends were up watching it, but our little party of three was very cosy.
The kids had a million questions about everything we saw on TV - uniforms, hymns, who's related to whom, and of course "does he really fly a helicopter?" (We also had the Maclean's magazine out and looking at their article with all of the photos of Prince William.)
My favourite question, though, was "how do you know all these people?" And though we don't really KNOW these people, it is wonderful to watch and participate in from home, such a happy, fairytale occasion, instead of the regular heartache that you see everyday on the news.
Last week we celebrated the resurrection of the King of Kings, and this week we celebrate the wedding of the future King of England. We certainly need AT LEAST a children's tea party for that!
