Narnia

Michael's Narnia party was a community effort, rallying mom, dad, and many close friends - Thank you all!

My energy was spent producing a cake worthy of the occasion -

(summer/winter)

taking me to this fantastic cake store - Kake Kreations - on Sherman Way, tucked along with many interesting stores in the Valley, where I found expert advice, as well as chocolate river rock.

The figurines aren't edible, although that's real Turkish Delight in the sleigh.

BTW, I stumbled onto a French bakery with everyone speaking Francois, old-fashioned hardware stores staffed by grandpa types, Southeast Asian noodle shops, Italian pasticceria, & Mexican taquerias - all hidden away in otherwise non-descript avenues like Ventura Blvd. The rents in the Conejo Valley where I live are too pricey, attracting only major retailers for the most part.

The throne seating was very popular.

Elle and Joanne were Mrs Beaver and Susan
Arielle was the youngest member of Narnia

Jack was Reepicheep, the mouse, who took a tumble early on, but recovered.

Master of Ceremonies: Katherine in a brilliant, homemade costume.

The jousting event was a huge success,

as children took aim at a White Witch box

and creature.

We are out there having fun
in the warm California sun.
