A Forest Dweller Christmas - continued

The continuing story of the Christmas get-together at the Khitrula Foxes'
​

Getting Started

Being new to the Forest, and never having participated in the Foxes' Holiday event, Jo was looking for someone to help. But Ginger was rather shy, and preferred to work on her own...
​'I appreciate the offer, but I'm sure there's someone else who could use your help more..."
Picture
So she went over to Tiana, who seemed to be struggling. 
​ "Yes, I want to make some cookies, and would love some help."
Picture
Meanwhile Kitty was making the rounds checking to see if everyone had what they needed....
Picture
"I'm cooking the filling for my tart..."
Picture
Muffy asked Ginger to get down a mixing bowl for her...
Picture
Maisie was busy choosing an apple...
Picture
"I think these will be perfect."
Picture
The kitchen was bustling with activity....
Picture
...as Missy and Maisie started peeling their apples....
Picture

Tiana's Cookies

Miss Kitty was helping Tiana, reading the recipe instructions, guiding her step by step through mixing the cookie dough....
Picture
...while Jo went to get the rolling pin....
Picture
"It's ready to roll out now...."
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and they put the first tray into the oven...
Picture
A little while later it smelled like something was burning. It was Tiana's cookies!!
Picture
"They are totally burned!!"
Picture
"Did you watch the time?"
Picture
Tiana was so embarrassed...."No.  I totally forgot about them!"
Picture
"Well, here's the clock.  When you put your next batch in, watch the time carefully..."
Picture
So Jo put a new tray into the oven, and Tiana sat down with the clock....
Picture
She wasn't going to let them burn this time...
Picture
"It's time to take them out..."
Picture
Picture
...and this time the cookies were perfect!
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Great job!"
Picture

More Games

Meanwhile the guys were still enjoying the afternoon playing games and drinking wine.....
Picture
Chip and Smuzhka were enjoying chasing each other around the board, and knocking each off in a game of Sorry!
Picture
"My turn!"
Picture
Mr. Ropuha and Manny were in the middle of a challenging game of checkers...
Picture
Manny pondered his next move....
Picture
..while Ropuha enjoyed another glass of wine...
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Your turn..."
Picture

More Flour

Missy and Maisie were just about finished peeling their apples....
Picture
...and Muffy was busy making the lattice work on the top of her pie....
Picture
"That's looks like it will be really yummy!"
Picture
"With these last apples peeled, we'll need to make the pastry for the crust....."
Picture
But when they went to measure out some flour....the bag was empty....
Picture
"There's not enough in here to make your pastry.  What are you going to do??"
Picture
But Kitty was prepared....
Picture
"I made sure I had lots extra...."
Picture
"...so there'd be plenty enough for everything today..."
Picture
"That's a relief!'
Picture
Then Muffy went back to finishing the lattice work on her pie....
Picture
And a little while later it came out of the oven, perfectly baked....
Picture
Meanwhile, Tiana had successfully made some cinnamon rolls....
Picture
While Melody and Missy moved on to their next project....
Picture

Poker

As the afternoon wore on the guys decided to switch to a more serious game......poker....
Picture

Almost Done

It had been a very busy afternoon, and everyone was busy with the final touches. The new ladies proved quite adept at baking and decorating.  Jo was busy finishing the cheesecakes....
Picture
...while Maisie was busy screating her cream puff tower....
Picture
Picture
Tiana decided she couldn't wait to try Maisie's cream puffs...
Picture
...but was caught red-handed...
Picture
Feeling rather embarrassed, she went and hid in the recipe book....
Picture
"Well, these are done."
Picture
"I'm finished too..."
Picture
"This tart looks amazing!"
Picture
Picture
Muffy was decorating some cakes with the chocolate mice she'd made....
Picture
Picture
"Well, it looks like we are just about done..."
Picture
"...so it's time to set the table..."
Picture

Strip Poker

Meanwhile with all their drinking, the guy's poker gamed taken on a different turn.....
Picture
...and their clothes started to come off....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...until they were all stark naked....
