Ringo didn't seem very interested in helping with the paper chains.
"It's too boring. We make them every year."

"Well, I have an idea for something else you might enjoy. Do you have any plain white paper?

So, off he went, and soon returned with several sheets...

"If you cut a square, then fold it in half, then thirds, and in half again, like this, and then cut away bits along the two long sides..."

"you get a snowflake!"

Everyone wanted to try it....

...and Naomi started putting them up on the window....

Paige made a beautiful snowflake....

But Ringo and Nami had a bit of a problem trying to fold the paper (like most people) so their snowflakes only had four points....

So Monica started folding the papers for them....

"Now have beautiful snow storm...right here inside...."

What a lovely time they've had together!

I foresee a wedding in the hazy distance of time with a lovely young bride--her hair dark as her father's--a beauty so kind and happy that her thoughtful groom forgets any shyness he once might have known...

Imagination is a wonderful thing.

It's kept me going through more dark days than I'd like to remember.

What a lovely way for all of them to get to know each other.

Ringo is so funny! He's bored with making paper chains because they do it every year... that many years, eh?? :o)

I think Naomi has won Ringo's heart. I love that last photo.

LOL. Yes, he's just five, so can't have done it all that often. But then he's been five forever, so who knows?

That's true, I hadn't thought about that :o)

Not everything has to make logical sense. It is Fantasy after all.

Well, it looks like everyone had fun, even Ringo in the end.

I didn't know there were several ways to fold paper for snowflakes so I learned something new.

There's only ONE way to fold the paper for proper six-pointed snowflakes. But most people (children and adults alike) have difficulty with the second step, folding the paper into thirds, so they end up with the incorrect four pointed ones.
