For Lily's 11th birthday she chose to invite her two bet friends (Annaelle and Marylou) over for a week-end of 'ancien temps'. A great deal of planning has gone in to figuring out whether it would be more fun to be servants or Ladies or both. In the end it was decided that Alice would be the servant (along with Mummy and daddy) and that Lily and her friends would be princess and duchesses respectively. It was never clearly determined which country we were in nor quite which era but we have the England of Downton Abby as a reference.

 |
| Princesse Lily de Fabre attends aussi! |
 |
| The damsels had to put on their outer attire to head off to catch the train (metro) en route for Old Montréal at -12. |
 |
| Awaiting our carriage! |
 |
| This is Anastasia and her driver who showed us around Old Montreal. Such a nice way to move around though we could have used another blanket or two! |
 |
| Back home for dinner. Maid Alice (after being a great help in getting the table ready) disappeared and a new guest arrived - a distant cousin of Princess Lily. |
 |
| Roast beef and yorkshire pudding! |
 |
| After supper - the bal. |
 |
| Only one prince. |
 |
| Quite a bevy of ladies |
