DOVER A snowy Saturday afternoon found more than 30 adults and children settled in a warm and toasty Wonderland.

The Childrens Museum of New Hampshire held its annual Wonderland Tea Party hosted by Alice and the Queen of Hearts, one of the most popular events at the museum.

Wonderland was replete with large tables set with china, teacups and roses and decorated with treats. At each place setting was a home-made sugar cookie in the shape of a heart.After all had gathered, they were greeted by the Queen of Hearts and Alice herself.

The Queen welcomed all and mentioned that the tea party was being held near a special date and asked if anyone knew what that occasion was. Talulah Bryant of Barrington quickly piped up with Valentines Day and was congratulated by the Queen.

The Queen of Hearts then advised all that in order for them to participate in the tea party, they would need to be welcomed into her court. Each child approached her, receiving a blinking red heart on a chain. Each child also received congratulations on their formal greeting of a bow or curtsey.

The Queen then read the words to the Lewis Carroll novel which has been a favorite of children for 151 years. Alice, at this time, was holding pictures of the adventures she had after she fell down a rabbit hole.

A variety of teas were sipped as well as apple juice. The children set about decorating their cookies and eventually some magical Wonderland flowers.

This was a special day for the adults as well as the children, and for many it was as real as of the book. Kellyanne Zink of Somersworth was joined by her appropriately named daughter Alice, who was accompanied by her properly attired doll, also named Alice.

We just finished reading the book, said Kellyanne and she is so excited to be doing this.

Many of the children were formally dressed for the special occasion.

Although the weather was a little snowy, it did not deter most from attending this special day. Kaitlyn Fortier traveled with her 4-year-old daughter Aleah Sensabella from Londonderry.

It was a little difficult driving, said Fortier, but we wouldnt miss this. It's wonderful to be in a fairy tale, we need to have more things like this.
