Evalyse’s First Tea Party ~ A Mad Affair!

This fairy tale is my contribution to Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist’s “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party”.   Authored by, and with pictures choreographed by my daughter, it includes a cast of characters listed below.  I am pleased to show off some pictures of my granddaughter in the role of “Alice”, which my daughter was kind enough to allow for this post.

“Alice” ~ my granddaughter, Evalyse

LaLa ~ that’s me, I’m LaLa! {instead of Grandma}

The Mad Hatter ~ My son-in-law

The March Hare ~ Son-in-law’s best friend {he’d have to be to do this!} and godfather to my granddaughter

Author and Picture Taker ~ my daughter

And so, our story begins . . . .

It was a beautiful day outside and Evalyse was spending the day with LaLa.

They were picking flowers when all of a sudden, a white rabbit hopped by.

Evalyse couldn’t resist following the rabbit, so she lead LaLa down the rabbit’s path.

But soon they lost sight of the rabbit.  It had disappeared down a dark hole.

Evalyse looked at LaLa, and LaLa nodded and took out her magic dust.

And they were transported down the hole.  They found themselves in front of a beautiful door.  But it was locked!

“I think the key Mama gave you might work”, LaLa said.

And lucky for them, it did work!

On the other side of the door was a huge garden.

They walked through the garden until they came across a curious scene.

It looked to be a tea party of the Mad variety.  And who was there?

Why the Mad Hatter and The March Hare!  They invited Evalyse and LaLa to have tea with them.

Along with their tea, they had cupcakes and cookies and sweets of all sorts.

And they drank and ate until their hearts were content.

Finally, Evalyse gave a big yawn and LaLa said, “I think it might be time for a nap”.

And she picked up her sleepy baby and brought her home.

“I had the strangest dream, Baby.  I dreamt you had tea with a Hatter and a Hare!”, said Mama.

Evalyse looked at LaLa and smiled, knowing she would never forget her first tea party!

THE END!

I hope you enjoyed our little tale; it was fun to do something “fanciful”!  As a bonus, I think we will be making this into a photo storybook for our little Evalyse!

*I had some questions on my previous post asking where I got that lovely ruffled tablecloth.  I actually won that in a blog giveaway about a year ago that was sponsored by Lavendar Fields.  Funnily enough, the shop is right downstairs from where I work at my day job!   I was able to pop down there and pick it up in person.
