Cristina Princess of the Pixies part 148
August 12, 2017
Aunty Star~Lite and Uncle KaLvin*T planned a family birthday party for their six year old boy Gus~Tavo. The children invited were Cristina and Gabie's five children, Jasmine and Alfred's two children, and Lola and John, the children that lived with Mary Meerschaum. This party was not a getting gifts party it was a giving gifts party. There would be some music and cupcakes with lemonade after at the compound but first the "Gift Giving" would be done by the children.
Abby and Ashlar had picked out little chores all around the compound and with the other adults they came up with some good ones for the children to give as gifts. John was nine and the oldest so his gift would be harder than three year old Gorka's gift.
Gus~Tavo, the birthday boy, was quite interested in reusing discarded items so he borrowed a little pull wagon and went around the homes to see if anyone had anything they had little or no use for explaining he was going to have a workshop for the children to make something new out of the discarded items.
Bidziil and Dakota paired up with John and pulling a wagon filled with small tools went around fixing anything that looked like it needed fixing. /the three boys were told to always ask first before fixing anything on someone else s property.
Chenoa and Fala paired up with Lola to help with laundry or tending to the vegetable gardens around the compound.
Amitola, Edurne and Gorka lived next door to each other and played together every day. Amitola and Edurne
were both quite artistic so they made little tied bouquets of wild flowers to give to people. Gorka was only three but he joined in with the girls by filling little bags and boxes with nuts in the shell.
The day went well and the ten children did not even want to stop for lunch until their "Gifts" were all given. Finally Queen Cristina had Gabi ring the bell in the courtyard for everyone to gather.
Queen Cristina told them today was Gus~Tavo's birthday and his gifts along with his nine friends were to help others and share his day with everyone. Everyone clapped for all the children and said Happy Birthday to Gus~Tavo. Then a couple of the older children came out of the kitchen with big platters of spice cupcakes .
"Only one each or you'll spoil your dinner." said Chef Julia Gypsy.
ZiZi the art teacher and her students had decorations all over the place inside the dining room. There were big bowls of hearty vegetable soup, piles of hush puppies, freshly baked breads, bowls of steamed vegetables and fresh fruits. Coffee for everyone along with more cupcakes. Everyone had their fill especially the ten workers.
The whole day was wonderful for everyone.
