blog lissu s dollhouse to recap the family are watching the film to see who is stealing the cluewellens christmas from julia s dollhouse see part 1 in the previous post shortly after stevie entered the room asking what kinda movie is this the movie that s gonna prove you stole the cluewellens christmas i didn t touch that stuff i didn t do it mom joannie came down from her room and asked are you still blaming that on stevie he wouldn t do that we got you on tape this time joannie or stevie whichever one of you guys did it so there julia set her jaw determined to watch every hour of the unmoving movie frame by frame mom and me we gotcha good now liar joannie came at her sister who re you calling a liar me if the shoe fits enough both of you stop it either sit down and watch the tape or leave the room but please no more accusations julia and no more shouting joannie and you stevie stop crying i didn t do it he complained through tears i always get blamed for everything all i know is somebody stole the cluewellens christmas tree now julia shot back hey what s that asked joannie pointing at the screen i saw movement a shadow back of the miniature julia stevie and mother waldron stared at the slight squeaking noise too and in a moment they all watched a pair of whiskers and a brown button nose rise over the back of the miniature at the chimney it s newton my ferret shouted stevie he s escaped again newton lived up to his name always finding ways to escape his cage and often stevie allowed him free run time but newton always returned to his cage newton had even found a way out of the house one night what s he doing asked julia omg he s going down the chimney like santa said stevie no more like the grinch replied joannie there s your christmas thief julia but i mean how why she asked why s he terrifying the cluewellens and destroying their christmas you really think newton is thinking along those lines julia joannie couldn t hold back her laughter shhh watch him look look said mom the little thief he s dragging the entire tree out the front door with the tree clear of the door it snapped closed and newton scurried away with the five inch high tree ornaments trailing he truly did look like a miniature version of the grinch except that he was brown and not green stevie s pet s the thief the whole time julia muttered in disbelief what s he doing with all the stolen goods asked mom shall we find out i think you re gonna need a ferret whisperer or a pet shrink to figure that out mom replied joannie still laughing nothing funny about that little rat destroying the cluewellens christmas countered julia why don t we all just go on a scavenger hunt began mom to see where newton is stashing all the decorations and presents and stockings added julia the four of them started for stevie s room where newton lived in a cage everyone in the family had gotten so used to newton s escapes and escapades about the house that no one took great notice of him of late what s going on asked jack waldron their father who d caught them gathered at the foot of the stairs as he came through the door home from the office everyone spoke at once until anna calmed them and pointed to the still action shot on the tv we caught newton red handed he s julia s christmas thief must be the shiny stuff attracts newton eh asked jack but he s never done this before anna replied any rate we re heading up to steve s room to see where he s stashing the goods say did anyone read that book that came with the ferret when you bought newton at the pet store asked joannie who was browsing the book for any clues who s got time to read asked julia they all went for stevie s room and looked into newton s cage a made over fish tank there amid the usual sawdust and toy shelters and fake greenery was a stash of christmas miniatures from the tree to the presents and the stockings all of it lay in a neat orderly circular design the look on newton s face said i confess joannie handed the paperback book on ferrets and ferret behavior to her mother take a look at the last section on page sixteen she glanced at the page oh dear then this means what is it asked julia nothing in that book could possibly excuse this rodent s behavior and as for you stevie this is all your no julia countered her father who d now read page sixteen no way is this stevie s fault you owe stevie and me an apology joannie said to julia having closed in on her nose to nose and all our friends too you do owe everyone an apology julia her mother agreed in the meantime newton is going to need a new name whataya mean asked julia new name asked stevie newton is a girl and she s stealing shiny objects to make a nest because she s going to have baby ferrets omg replied julia that s it that explains the mystery but if newton s not a boy what re we going to call newton asked stevie newtonia suggested joannie a snicker escaping why don t we make it madame curie suggested mom i think she outsmarted us all in any event case closed stevie lifted the flimsy lid and started to reach in to retrieve the cluewellens christmas stuff his sister s stuff but julia stayed his hand no stevie she madame curie she needs it now more than the cluewellens aren t you ahhh worried about the cluewellens asked anna of her daughter they ll understand when i explain it to them julia replied and shrugged and besides there s always next year anna hugged julia and jack put a hand on his daughter s shoulder and with the entire family looking on at newton now madame curie every one smiled and if ferrets can smile madame curie smiled back a knowing glint in her eye i have an idea for the cluwellens christmas said stevie what s that asked julia why not give them a front row seat for christmas meaning put their house under our tree everyone agreed it was a wonderful solution and that julia had a lot of apologies to make and that she d tell and retell newton s story between now and christmas quite often

house by c verstraete julia rushed into her mother s room her eleven year old arms flapping as she said joannie stole my christmas presents i just know it was her your big sister wouldn t do that julia then its one of her girlfriends i ve talked to joannie and she s given the third degree to every friend who has been visiting the house since thanksgiving julia s eyes filled with tears musta been that boyfriend of hers then he seems like a nice respectful boy and whatever would possess him to steal your miniature christmas presents from beneath your miniature tree anna waldron hugged her daughter to her we ll find the stolen goods they re likely somewhere on a shelf thoughtlessly moved by one of your little friends no no mom i don t let anyone reach into my dollhouse and take out anything not the figurines not the furniture and certainly not the presents under the tree anna wondered how this could keep happening to her daughter julia had put heart and soul into her miniature house this year in fact she d begun creating the tree the ornaments lights stockings hanging over the fireplace and the presents beneath the tree since last christmas she d got it in her head that her dollhouse ought to have all the ornaments and decorations of any home that mr and mrs cluewellen and their three children who lived in the miniature house ought to have a wonderful christmas too julia had worked so hard to make it happen and now day by day all her work was coming unraveled the day before she noticed an ornament missing from the tiny tree the day before that one of the stockings she d labored so hard to make was gone from the mantel poof now two of the tiny presents from beneath the tree gone stolen at this rate moaned julia by the time christmas gets here the cluewellens won t have anything left anna patted julia s hand and the christmas crook of the present will have won we can t let that happen mom we must act set a trap a trap yeah we ll wire up a trap that will snap on those sticky fingers then you think it s stevie i hope not but your little brother is at that age i sure hope he hasn t lied about this well it s not a ghost i asked the cluewellens if they d had any problems with anything like a poltergeist and they said no you believe them mother waldron laughed but julia stared at her eyes saying not funny they don t lie cheat or steal mom neither does your brother or your sister for that matter young lady well i m not lying about it someone s stealing the cluewellens christmas right under our noses you set the trap suggested anna i m going to set up a concealed camera so we can get to the bottom of this before julia looked up at her mother wondering why she d stopped talking before all of the presents and decorations are gone before you make your sister and your brother angrier with you than they already are angry with me i m the victim here me and the cluewellens honey you have accused both of them of stealing and lying about it then you accused their friends julia nodded and for a moment anna thought her child understood and agreed but then julia said it could ve been one of stevie s dumb friends well now we re going to find out aren t we you think it ll work mom at the rate things are disappearing my hunch is that whoever s behind the theft will be back they put the trap into play they wisely left the miniature house untouched and unmoved the same enticement as ever an entire day and most of the evening went by with young julia wanting to check the cluewellens living room and tree every hour while her mother insisted they wait and see when anna decided the camera s battery would be in need of help mother and daughter went into her room to determine if anything had been taken they found the front door closed julia gasped when she looked in through the windows the entire tiny christmas tree had been t...
