Who ever thought that Fairy Princesses should be a part of holiday celebrations? Well, I guess a smart department store advertising executive in the 1930s was on to something when they hired a girl to sit on a throne and push a button to deliver presents down a chute to children who visited her.
Not being a Kansas City native, I never knew there was a Fairy Princess tradition. I even asked some natives and they had no idea either but when I saw a free event at the Kansas City Museum on a night that Tommy was working, I decided we'd try it out.
We attended the opening reception of the Fairy Princesses. The had carolers, food and a grand arrival of the four princesses. We didn't get to see them in the throne room but that is just as well because Steven didn't even want to go near them and Lyla had to be coaxed to go stand next to a princess to get a picture.
My co-worker Jeff and his wife Carrie brought their 2-year old daughter Katelynn. She's a doll and insisted that the princesses go to their throne. She was unsuccessful but did get to be interviewed by the local news station. She loved the microphone!

| Prince Steven, he was mad his crown wasn't pink but when we told him it was gold he was much happier. |

| Be sure to monitor the two year old when food on a stick is present. |

| Lyla wanted nothing to do with her crown and she wasn't too sure about the Fairy Princess, either. |
