PTFCo Christmas 2019

[Alliecat]

I didn't really decorate, other than the minis' Christmas-party table.  Will try to get a few shots of that. 
In the meantime, I took a few of the crew to the library on a couple of days.  Danbo was featured in the pic-a-week; then Sunsette, Ika & Alice had a turn with the Nativity set:






When you have trouble deciding who gets to go on photoshoots....  But Princi got a turn because I thought she was a great match for the mostly-blue-&-gold tree.





...which does have a little red in it, so of course Sunsette had to join her.





Cherie also had another library shoot this year.














Then, Victoria made a guest appearance in the window today.
People being as observant as they are, no one noticed





"AHEM. THIS display item is NOT available for borrowing...!"



Is it me or does she look a bit put-upon here... like, "How long is this going to take...?"



But, well, she's gorgeous, so there were more photos!














Maybe some more to come.  Thanks for looking!

LOL, if I were her, I'd be glad no one asked to borrow me... unless you have a lot of pirate patrons at the library who might've taken her on an adventure?

Everyone looks gorgeous, as usual, though I particularly love Cherie lounging in the tree. And Victoria's outfit is appropriately festive!

They're wonderful!

I was just looking at these pictures on Flickr! The Crimson Pirate is perfect for these Christmas scenes!

Sunsette and her little pals always seem to have so much fun wherever they go and whatever they do!

I love that Victoria got put in the window and no one picked up on it.

Okay, these all made me grin so hard.

Wonderful Christmas pics! My favorite is the one with disembodied snowman head!

This shoot is so cute. <3 Merry Christmas to you and your little crew!

Thank you very much, everybody!

Heheh, well, school was off for Christmas (library is in the school) & not many people came in -- like, maybe 10? -- so...
I wouldn't take her if school was in, because I couldn't find a key for the window

I have a pretty cool job; I asked my boss what needed doing on the couple days before Christmas; she said "take some pictures..."  I said, "Not on library time!", & she said "Sure."
So I did.  And of course she came in while I was shooting Victoria.  Busted
Then I realized I had to do some Hawaiian Christmas pix with my lil hula girl, so Aloalo came along this morning.  Ugh, the sun was barely up... but there was a short period where it was low and hitting this gorgeous tree, so I climbed over the couch into the corner & shot some more pix.
Those who followed the girls' adventures in Hawaii may recall she fell out of a tree & lost a garland, which the garden magically returned to us... 
Well, she fell out of this one too and tried to lose another one   This is pretty, but it is not a magic tree.
All ended well...  picspam follows











She's not supposed to be levitating... she's leaning on a branch but it kinda disappeared  






She likes to dance anywhere.



When you're little enough to lie on a gauzy tree garland.



Ex-perimenting with ridiculously small depth of field.  Wanted to do some more but the light was going and I should probably do some work



Mele Kalikimaka to our dolly 'ohana!

As if your cute photos were not sufficiently fun in their own right, it seems there is almost always an entertaining story behind your photo shoots!

[Elfy]

So cute, swinging around in the Christmas tree.

[fishy]

Looks great!

[neon_jellyfish]

These are magical! And that one bauble totally looks like a disco ball, and it makes me think of Hawaiian Christmas rave, and that sounds like so much fun!

[Alliecat]

Thanks, everyone!

Well, the whole crew wanted in on the Christmas photoshoots...  Jake has been wearing a Petite Blythe hat that almost fits him.  I went out to take "one quick photo" and ended up wrestling the tripod (which I went back for) through a tangle of deadfall & branches as the light ebbed away to blaaah.  I'm even more scared of breaking him, trying to pose him with mittens and numb fingers



".... the **** is this white stuff??"






I should re-do this one; the light was crummy and thinking about keeping the background out of focus, I got the basket out of focus too.  Oh well.

And, the minis are having their now-traditional fabulous party.  I think it would be lovely to be able to join them


Kailani & Roxann are unloading gifts...



Becky & Alice are making a snowman, and Scarlett is taking a turn as the Keeper Of Dreams Of Warm Places...



Carols are being sung...



...Marie's teaching them some French, "Joyeux Noel"...



Kumu watches over things from the treetop...



... and Santa has been sighted.



(Bonus outtake:  The Ghost of Christmas Party    )



"Merry Christmas, everyone!"

Merry Christmas to you and the whole crew!

The Christmas Party looks fabulous, and I wish I coould join in. Everyone looks like they're having a blast with their different activities.

Jake looks very fetching in his Christmas hat too
