Auntie's Artic Adventure, a very Martha Experience

What happens when three Martha Stewarts get together?



You get an Artic Adventure* complete with princesses...




And knights in shining armor to protect them.


Every kingdom needs a black knight so the good knight will have someone to defeat, right?




Here is the Matriarchal Martha with a Martha-in-training.



And every kingdom must have a baby Knight in training.

(Don't chew on the sword, please)

"I'll protect you!" says the brave Daniel.



The princesses must stand together and unite against the evil knight that threatens them!


Doesn't she make a beautiful princess?
Check out that tiara!
(The real Martha Stewart would approve, don't you think?)





Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most Marthiest of all?






Is it the one who creates the songbooks for the campfire sing-a-long?





Or the one who is in charge of the castle-cake-decorating-activity?






This two year old definitely has "the gene". Look how serious he is about his cake decorating!






Is the most Martha the one who applies princess tattoos to the little princesses?





I think these are some tired little girls.
Being a Princess is a lot of hard work!


Certainly, a very successful Artic Adventure!

*Auntie's Arctic Adventure: Each fall Prince Charming's sister invites the entire family to her home for a theme party. There are games, crafts, activities, and of course singing around the camp fire, smores, and talk of sleeping outdoors in tents (which, in the 8 years of this tradition, has never happened, but each year we like to pretend that THIS year is the year we will be brave and sleep outdoors by the fire underneath a starry sky.)
It was a wonderful Arctic adventure!
Thanks Marthas for making it a wonderful memory for us all!
