This day I love.......: teacup

Back in February the girls were sent a Disney Palace Pets pamper and beauty set. The girls love playing with the set and in particular love the app. Two new sets have just been launched and the girls were eager to try them.

The Palace pets carriage set features teacup, Belle pet, and a carriage. The carriage has a secret carpet which can be unveiled when Teacup arrives at her destination. A cup and a Teapot and a flip down mirror. The carriage is easy for the girls to push along and move Teacup to her destination.

They also received the Palace pets fashion tails set. Beauty has three interchangeable tails. These are referred to as :

Playful and posh

Pretty and Purrfect

Sassy and Sweet

My youngest at 2 still cannot change the tails and my eldest at 4 struggled at first but she has now got the hang of it.

She loves to come up with little stories as she changes them over and it is lovely listening to her imagination.

The Disney Princess Palace sets would make a great Christmas present to anyone with a love of Disney Princess.

We were sent the sets for the purpose of review. All words are my own.

It had been a long hard day at the construction site

I was glad when work was over. I parked the truck by our pink house

And began dreaming of our wonderful holiday to Butlins

Lucky for me I knew I did not need to take a horse to get there

Or even a plane

Some even say its so magical that you could get there in a magic teacup

But for me there is only one true way to travel

We arrived at Butlins and I began to check out what was on and where to eat

I discovered I had just enough time to get pampered

Before catching the pirate show

I wonder what magical adventures await me tomorrow, I am sure Mummy knows.

This day I love Magical adventures

I always feel very lucky to live in Yorkshire as there is so much to do right on the doorstep. As a family we love exploring the outdoors and getting the girls involved in activities. I personally love that there are lots of National Trust sites close by, one of which is under 10 miles away, giving us plenty of activities to do.

I often check the National Trust website to find out local events on at the different Trust sites and when I discovered the Night before Christmas adventure at Nostell Priory, I could not wait to take the girls. The event ran over 3 days and was free to enter. On Saturday there was a special interactive Christmas show called Come as Yourself, Leave as an Elf and the Sunday offered a more exciting event to my eldest 'The Knight before Christmas' a chance to meet Mike the Knight and a guest appearance from Derek the Dragon from Alnwick Castle. My eldest loves watching Mike the Knight and so was incredibly excited when I asked if she wanted to go see him.

All I can say is what an exciting day for the girls. As mentioned in a previous post, my eldest absolutely loves horses. When she saw this as we approached the entrance she was just in awe.

Two beautiful white horses all dressed up for Christmas. She could not believe her eyes, so much for her to look at.

Next for her was the reindeer and Christmas tree

and we saw some real reindeer too!

She was loving every second signing the different Christmas things she saw. We went to book our tickets to see Mike the Knight, a 2pm showing, so had plenty of time to explore. We decided not to book to see Santa, as the girls have a Santa experience booked for next week, and instead to see what else Nostell Priory had to offer.

She enjoyed the stable block exhibition as it gave her the opportunity to see where horses live. They have a wooden horse for you to brush its hair and she had fun doing this.

We decided to give the girls some run around time in the gardens at the side of the house. The gardens are beautiful and although winter they were stunning. Hidden in the garden is an adventure playground. One of those lovely wooden ones that make you wish you were a kid again just to have a go. Our eldest managed to find a horse to play on and happily rocked it back and forth. The girls had a cuddle on a big bucket swing before our eldest decided to go off and explore some more and even managed to find a small puddle to splash in.

After stopping for a bite to eat we decided to have a play on the fairground. It is the first time for both girls to visit a fairground and so we were unsure what they would make of it. We need not have worried for they absolutely loved it. Our eldest rode the swings, all by herself, a very big girl and then we rode the teacups. When it finished she said again please, teacup fun, so we went round again, well the look of enjoyment on her face was too much to say no to.

The large clock tower signalled it was time for us to catch our show and so we went to the courtyard.

The show was great and both girls really enjoyed it, watching the knights and the juggler. We stopped to make Christmas decorations before Mike the Knight came to say hello and she waved at him. Her favourite by far though was Derek the Dragon. She absolutely loved him. He talked to her and said she was very pretty, which made her smile and that he liked her jumper. Since coming home she has been asking for the dragon and that she wants to see Mike the Knight to give him a cuddle.

It really has been a truly wonderful day and as our daughter hasn't stopped talking about all the things she has done definitely one of the best days out for her. I will be checking the National Trust website again to find another event, because where else can you have this much fun in such a beautiful setting?

This day I love Knights, Dragons and Teacups
