For Lena's 11th birthday we took a trip through the wardrobe and traveled through all of the Chronicles of Narnia. Lena read them all this year and we had so much fun planning this event. We had a Cair Paravel cake for her actual birthday but a turkish delight cake for her party. We had tea with Tumnus, the white witches drink, a Narnian salad, Edmund's stale bread and cheese, we searched for the magic apples and rang the bell, found magic rings and jumped into pools of water. We found the missing twin and raced on horses to warn Narnia that the Telamarines were coming. We toured the ruins of Cair Paravel, blew the horn, found the missing swords and jumped like Dufflepods. We played wink and sleep with Ramandu and searched for Reepicheep, we went underground and searched for the silver chair, we drew Puddlegum and repeated the four signs. Then we did archery for the last battle and had a feast.
In the last month our days have been rich and full of beauty but also stressful and exhausting with illness and worries. God's goodness continues to break through our darkness! We enjoyed a trip to Tyler Arboretum, made strawberry jam, had more parties, took a trip to the hospital, had icecream with friends, jumped in puddles, had a ballet recital and choir concert and finished our school year,
