22: The Doll House: Solstice Story, Part One

[cirquemom]

It is December 21st, Prima's birthday, and the Doll House is buzzing with activity getting ready for her party tonight.


Everyone lends a helping hand because there is so much to do to get ready.


Even Bonnie and Alice help out.


Niki and Umka bring the tree in.


Marie and Lucette clean up.


When muscle is needed to move the furniture, the boys step up.


Capri: Prima, are you okay? You seem kind of stressed.
Prima: It's just that there is so much to do to get ready for tonight and....


Prima: Oh! Dammit!!!


Prima: Look what I've done now! Another mess to clean up!


Capri: Prima, you need a break. Let's go outside. I want to show you something interesting that happened with the storm last night...
Prima: I can't, there's too much to do!
Capri: Don't worry, you have lots of help. It'll get done.


Prima: What are we looking at?
Capri: Come over here- the wind knocked down all of these branches and.....

Meanwhile, in the Doll House, the work gets done.....


The kitchen is cleaner than it has ever been.


The bed is made and the room tidied up.


Toys and books neatly put away.


Gifts wrapped and ready to put under the tree.


Niki and Umka take a break outside for a little refreshment.


Alice and Bonnie find the Christmas ornaments.




Alice is fascinated with sparkly things....


The tree gets decorated, thanks to Bonnie and Alice.


And Bonnie wonders if maybe she should not have been quite so naughty during the year.


The table is laden with treats.

The record player is loaded, and the Samovar is ready for making tea.


The bar is fully stocked!


And for those who might need coffee later on... that's ready on the stove!


Everything is finally ready.


Marie takes a moment to rest.


The girls are dressed in their Christmas outfits.


Umka: Where is Prima?
Capri: I took her outside for some fresh air.


And now all we do is wait....




Bonnie: When is our company getting here?
Umka: Soon, Bonnie. Very soon!


Niki: Where is Prima, anyway?
