Quaker Christmas - Update No. 5

I've discovered that The MOTH is one of those people who thinks Christmas just 'happens'.

He has been hanging around the house for the last few weeks & quizzed me as to why I was working on something 'Christmassy' at this time of the year. It's all perspective. Methinx that this project is going to be ready for Christmas 2012 at the speed it is shaping up! I should have started it two years ago ... er, in fact I did, didn't I? Sigh!

Happiness & laughter to one and all,

Felicity

Happy Dance No. 1 - 2010


These sweet little puppies are just tuckered out.
They have been hard at play all day.
Or, if they are like my two,
Mama has used her big voice
so they have run for cover.

The Mad Tea Party



In honour of my 50th birthday, The MOTH, Paul, & my children (The Crown Princess, Miranda; The Crown Prince, David; The Living Doll, Diana; and The Cadet Princess, Gabriella) threw me a Mad Tea Party! Everyone cooked for a week before the event. On the day, the off-spring, their father (my ex-husband) & The Crown Princess's SIL slaved away in my kitchen. They did a marvelous job, don't you think?

I thought I chose what I wore to the event, but it seems I was manipulated by the girls to choose the outfit that went best with my husband's huge surprise of dressing as The Hatter! Isn't he gorgeous?




The cooks did a wonderful job!

(she and her brother were official photographers for the event as well as cooks)

The gift from the children was the long-ago requested portrait to hang on the wall.
Yes, they had to do it their way, didn't they?


My beautiful babies!
They did the same thing (with teenage ninja turtle masks) when in 1991 when I wanted an official photo for their paternal grandmother in the clothes that she had bought them for Christmas!
