Narnia Party

Justus and Piper's good friends - Charlotte, Paige and Lewis - threw a Narnia party after the girls had finished reading all the books. And since Trav has read Justus a few of the books, he (Justus) was super excited for it. Plus, it's always fun to try to come up with costumes from what you already have at home. We walked in through the wardrobe painted on the front door into the snowflakes and lamp post, the kids ate lunch in Mr. & Mrs. Beaver's house (yes, Trav made inappropriate jokes), they did battle practice, played on the Dawn Treader ship, and even got to eat Turkish Delight, which only Piper seemed to like - no surprise there, really!
Justus and Charlotte both dressed as Reepicheep - the bravest of all mice.
Piper was Lucy - the youngest girl who first enters Narnia.
I was the lamp post and Trav was the topless half-man, half-faun, Mr. Tumnus. He even had hooves over his feet. It was amazing. Come on...
And Keira wore her onesie in honor of C.S. Lewis and Lewis Kaetler (Charlotte's and Paige's little brother), who is seriously adorable!
Justus playing with Paige who has become one of his best friends (they are the same age and in the same nursery class at school).
Charlotte (and Claire) holding sweet little Keira.
Battle practice with bean bags and a target.
This was after the party was over...it looks completely staged but I love that it wasn't. They did this one their own. So cute. Such a great party!

That last picture is amazing. The kids look like they're having a ball. And the adults? I've heard of people who wear lampshades at parties... you look terrific!

What a great idea.
