Queen Merrily and the fairies are so delighted to be with you and the beautiful magnolia tree! They want to celebrate their arrival and one other exciting thing. The little fairies just received their wings; and when fairies receive their wings they are given special names. These names tell you something special about who they are. What is special about your name? If you are not sure, ask your mommy and daddy. What do you think Queen Merrily's name tells us about her?!
Queen Merrily is overjoyed to be your friend and she was hoping you would do her the honor of hosting a fairy picnic under the magnolia tree to celebrate their new home and the fairies' new wings. There are so many fun things to think about! What will you wear to the picnic? Who will come? Will you use a picnic blanket? What type of food will you eat?...and more and more.
She needs you to do one more important thing. Queen Merrily needs you to give each of the fairies their special names at the picnic! Choosing the names is completely up to you. Make sure you look closely at each fairy and think about what she likes to do. Then choose a name that tells everyone about who she is.

A Very Special Package
Dear Ivy June,
Happy birthday my love!!!!! Nanny wishes she could have been there for your party; but we are celebrating in Georgia. Wait, if you are reading this you have received a very special package in the mail! Did Queen Merrily and her fairies make it safely to you?
I'm sure you have so many questions about your lovely fairies. I met Queen Merrily and her faires on my back porch one cool afternoon.

As we began talking she told me her fairies were searching for a special place to live. Our little back porch would not suffice for the adventures they dreamed of; but I remembered your beautiful magnolia tree.
As I began explaining how wonderful your tree was, their eyes began to sparkle. When I explained how you love to swing on your ladybug rope swing hanging in it, they all twirled in excitement. When I described how sweet the magnolia blossoms smell, Queen Merrily dreamily sighed, "Merry Magnolias!". And when I said you climb on its large branches, Queen Merrily darted into the air.

I called out to her, "Where are you going?". Then bubbling with excitement she said, "To Ivy and her magnolia tree!". I explained to Queen Merrily how far you live from me and I told her I could help her and her faires find you and the tree; and they were all delighted.
The fairy house you found in the box is to keep next to your bed. I hope this night light can always remind you of how wonderful your imagination is. Your night light started out as a teapot, but as I was working on it I accidentally poked a hole in it. A teapot with a hole is no good; so I had to re-imagine what it could be. After looking at the hole and making it a little larger, I decided to make it the door to a fairy house. I began busily working to turn it into a tree, add more windows in the knots of the wood, and transform the lid into an acorn top!
Imagination did not stop there. When Uncle Matt was looking at it he said, "What if it was a night light?!". We knew it could be amazing so we began thinking about how to add a light. Any ideas of where the light came from??? A Santa I found at Goodwill.
Once we put the light in I decided your present was still not complete. I was trying to imagine how I could make it more special. I decided to add furniture in the house and get you a book about fairies to go with it. I was able to find furniture but no book. But then my imagination led me to the best idea of all...we would create our own stories together!!!
You and your faires can play as much as you want, but sometimes Nanny will give you ideas about adventures your faires want to go on. I hope we can use this blog to write out all of the stories you and your fairies construct. Make sure to tell mom and dad all about your adventures, maybe even get them to join you and take pictures. Then, they can add your stories and pictures to my prompts.
I hope you are as excited as I am. I can't wait to hear all about your adventures.
I love you,
Nanny Bec
P.S. Introduce the fairies to everyone and the magnolia tree. Make sure you all get a good night's sleep and check back tomorrow for your first adventure idea!
