Preparing for the Party

At King's Cross, the witches wait for the Hogwart's Express.
Our bedroom, transformed into the Gryffindor common room. (Use your imagination!)

Elizabeth drew this house elf herself, based on a tracing of Suzanne's actual body (because Elizabeth thinks Suzanne is the size of a house elf). It was for a game of Pin the Sock on Dobby (aka Free Dobby), which everyone had fun with but, unfortunately, Elizabeth and Suzanne won. It was kind of embarassing to hand the two door prizes to our own kids ... maybe we could have handled it better. Elizabeth also handily won the Guess the Number of Jellybeans in the Jar Challenge, but we awarded the prize to the first runner up, who wasn't a member of the family.
