Zoey has Gracie over this evening for a sleepover and we are also having a little impromptu St. Patrick's Day celebration for the dolls and the girls. Treats were in order, so I quick made up a batch of rice krispie treats and tinted them green just for fun. The sprinkles actually made them look a bit Easter like but that was alright with the girls!
The girls weren't interested in them at all...ha..ha!
After they got done playing out in the snow they came in for a tea party of hot chocolate and a rice krispie bar.
Yum!
