More Birthday Fun

It was time for another game - Musical Chairs - one that would get everyone up and moving. All the chairs were arranged in two rows back to back, with one less chair than participants. Narae was in charge of the music, and everyone else had to march around the chairs, and whenever she stopped the music, they had to sit on a chair as fast as possible. The person left standing would be out. Each time someone was out, another chair would be removed until there were just one chair and two people left for the final round....
Picture
....even Winston participated.....
Picture
Round and round they marched....
Picture
Narae kept her back to the others, so she couldn't 'cheat' and try control the results...
Picture
When she turned off the music, everyone got a seat...except Nami...
Picture
"Okay, I'm the first one out.."
Picture
...and she went and took a seat on the sofa....
Picture
...and Winston removed one of the chairs....
Picture
They continued playing Musical Chairs, and soon Nami had plenty of company on the sofa..
Picture
They were down to just eight people, and seven chairs....
Picture
Round and round they went...
Picture
Narae turned off the music....
Picture
...and everyone scrambled for a seat...
Picture
...and this time it was Winston who was out of luck...
Picture
With Winston being out, Narae let him to be in control of the music....
Picture
Soon a few more elves were out, and there were just four left....
Picture
But Effie, who was still a little sore over being out, was watching Winston....

..and noticed that he was sneaking a look...
Picture
Picture
...and he seemed to be watching for when it would be a good time to stop the music....
Picture
"Hey!! You aren't allowed to look!!"
Picture
"That's cheating!!"
Picture
So with Effie keeping an eye on Winston to make sure he wasn't cheating....
Picture
...they were soon down to just two - Ringo and Chloe.....
Picture
Round and round they went....
Picture
....both trying to stay close to the seat.....
Picture
Then Winston turned off the music, and turned to see who got the last chair....
Picture
It was Chloe!! ​
Picture
Chloe was the winner!!
Picture
Willie had been waiting patiently until the game was over, so she could give Winston her gift....
Picture
"Is it time to open the gifts now??"
"I have something for you, Winston!!"
Picture
Picture
"Here you go.......Happy Birthday!!"
Picture
"Wow!! Thanks!! Just what I always wanted!!"
Picture
"Errr.......what are they??"
Picture
It's wing de-icer!! So next time you have to go somewhere in a storm, you can still fly, instead of having to walk.
​This one is for snow, and the other is for sleet."
Picture
​Winston continued to open his gifts. Peach and Bonnie had chipped in to give him a fire extinguisher.....
Picture
'Wow, this will come in very handy.....especially when I accidentally set something on fire!!"
Picture
Then Chloe stepped forward with her gift....
Picture
"Happy Birthday Winston!!"
Picture
Everyone wanted to see what was in it....
Picture
"Wow, it's matches!!  Boxes full of matches!!"
Picture
"What does a dragon need matches for?? Doesn't he breathe fire??"
Picture
"Yes, but when they get a cold, or a tummy ache, their flame can go out...."
Picture
"So if that happens, all he has to do is light one of these, and breathe it in, and it's fixed!"
​"Wow, that's so thoughtful of you!!"
Picture
"Thanks!  That's what I thought!"
Picture
Ringo and Efreet had been waiting patiently to give Winston their gift....
Picture
..and it was finally their turn....
Picture
"This is from us...Happy Birthday!"
Picture
"Wow!  Cookies, marshmallows, and chocolate!!"
Picture
 "It's a S'mores kit!!"
Picture
'I LOVE making these!! They are my favourite! Thank you so much!"
Picture
With the last of the gifts opened, it was time for cake and treats,
and one last photo of Winston, the birthday dragon!
Picture
It had been the best birthday ever!!
