Merry Christmas

 

The Guests Have Arrived!

 

The Stage Is Set

 The stage is set, the table is set, the food is ready. Ruthie is making one final check! The guests will be here any moment……

 

Keeping Children Busy at Christmas Time

 Aesop and the Princely Dragon took the children on a field trip. They got to watch trains at a village nearby. Guess what they picked for lunch?

New Dishes

 Mama Bear offered to help make new dishes for the big party. 

Angel Wings

 You can’t have a Christmas Pageant without children in costumes. Crinkle wire makes beautiful wings and a giant tangled mess!

Keeping Busy

 Keeping kids busy before a holiday is never easy. Today Once and the Princely Dragon have teamed up to help some of the children make fresh green ornaments for their neighborhood.

First Order of Business

 With the responsibility of planning Christmas Eve celebrations, the first order of business for the Tree Spirits was looking for tables and chairs. They asked the community to loan what they could. 

Well of course as the furniture piled up the temptation to play grew too. Furniture forts are the best!

Setting The Stage

 Ruthie has invited the Tree Spirits to set the stage and plan all of the Christmas Eve festivities. She has asked then to include as many neighbors as possible in planning and participating that night.

The Tree Spirits are anxious to get started. The first thing they did was lower a curtain to keep all the preparations as secret as possible. Fortunately they have offered us back stage access so we can see what is happening.

Ruthie’s Bedroom

 This is Ruthie in her bedroom in the Golden Castle. She has her own miniature pajaki.
