Cheers everyone! I am pleased to report that Sister Erato and I had a splendid time hosting Pop the Balloon at Winter Wonderfest this past weekend and although the popping kept us hopping, there was time to take the odd snapshot.

Here we are making the most of a lull in Sunday's Pop the Balloon game to delight in both a chat with Nyb*r and the delicious ice cream cones she treated us to.

Inspired by the reindeer behind us, we decided to wear antlers ourselves - and to nickname the Polar Moose in honour of Mother <g>.

The generous support of all who came to play Winter Wonderfest's Elf Toss with Calliope and Erato, and Pop the Balloon with Thalia and Erato added up to 27,304 tokens for the Welcomers ... plus a whole lot of fun! Thank you one and all!
