The children of each family are listed from left to right as they appear in their family photo.
Please note that these are not necessarily the official names supplied by Epoch/Flair/Tomy. We quite often give our Sylvanians new names if we think they suit them better.
Christopher Appleblossom
The Babblebrook Rabbit Family
Isabella Babblebrook, a Butterglove by birth, grew up in Beechwood Hall on the hill, and inherited it along with her family's fortune. She and Edward now raise their own children there. Isabella is something of a patron of the arts in the village, and teaches ballet at the Macadamia Grove School of Performing Arts, the local dance and drama school her family founded.
Peter Babblebrook (15 yrs)
Hoppity Babblebrook (3 yrs)
Bramble Babblebrook (11 yrs)
The Buckley Deer Family
Anna Buckley is also a teacher at the Primary School.
Bella Buckley (13 yrs)
Freddy Buckley (11 yrs)
The Chocolat Rabbit Family
Teri Chocolat is kept very busy raising her large family. She also helps with the family business by baking delicious brownies and chocolate cookies to sell alongside the chocolates. Their home can be quite chaotic at times, with so many children, but it is a happy chaos, and neither she nor Frasier would have it any other way. With so many mouths to feed, Teri sometimes thinks it is a very good thing that the local villagers have such a taste for sweets!
Milka Chocolat (11 yrs) is rather shy, and dislikes attention - but that all changes when she puts on her ballet shoes. Poised and graceful, she is the best dancer in her ballet class, and wants to be a professional ballerina when she grows up.
Freya Chocolat (13 yrs) is friendly, confident, and always busy. She loves organising and socialising, and gets involved in as many clubs and fundraisers at school as she has time for.
Honey Chocolat (10 yrs) is an extremely mischievous little rabbit, whose sweet, angelic demeanour belies the reality of her cheeky personality. As her sister Freya says, "When Honey is smiling at you, watch out! She's probably just put a caterpillar in your shoe..."
Creme Chocolat (4 yrs) is a lively youngster, who is fascinated by her big sister Honey. Unfortunately, Honey is not always the best role model for a little rabbit, and Creme is often led into trouble by her. Creme also likes watching Milka dance, and enjoys trying to copy her when she is practising.
Marzipan Chocolat (8 yrs) is a sweet, kind, quiet girl who likes reading, jigsaw puzzles, and spending time with her best friend, Olivia Grunt. Everyone loves Marzipan, and her presence is often enough to calm some of the more turbulent personalities in the Chocolat household!
Cadbury Chocolat (14 yrs) hopes to follow in his father's footsteps, and is already much interested in the family business. Mature and responsible, Cadbury boards at Bottlebrush Academy, but works part-time in the chocolate shop during the holidays. He also loves camping - so much so that he doesn't even have a proper bed at home, preferring to sleep in his sleeping bag in front of the fireplace!
Duke Chocolat (10 yrs) is a cheeky scamp, who is always ready to play a practical joke. He is just as mischievous as his twin sister Honey, but unlike her, Duke fools no one. When the twins team up, they are a force to be reckoned with. Teachers tend to try to keep them apart as much as possible.
The Coldfoot Husky Family
Wolfgang Coldfoot and his family live in a comfortable log cabin in the foothills of the mountains. It is actually just outside Macadamia Grove, but everyone considers the Coldfoot family to be part of the community. He and his wife Juneau supply the villagers with ice, which Wolfgang cuts and collects from high up in the mountains, and stores in a special coldroom. It is hard, and sometimes dangerous work, but Wolfgang loves the chance to work outside in the cold, with the wind in his face.
Juneau Coldfoot is responsible for taking ice orders from Macadamia Grove, as well as being the primary caregiver for the children. Juneau has an active social life in the village, but her favourite thing is sledding and playing in the snow with her family.
Luka, Katya and Echo Coldfoot, the tiny triplets, love to be pulled about in their own little sled. They are very excitable little puppies, who will no doubt give their parents plenty of exercise when they finally learn to walk!
The Cottontail Rabbit Family
The Fielding Mouse Family
Sebastian Fielding
The Grunt Pig Family
Richard E. Grunt and his wife are the owners of a large farm on the edge of Macadamia Grove. Their specialities are apples, corn and macadamia nuts, and these are the crops Richard concentrates his energies on. He is kind, down-to-earth, and very handy, and enjoys building and fixing things.
Constance Grunt is also very involved with the day-to-day farm work, but she likes to experiment with different fruits and vegetables. Constance likes to keep her trotter on the pulse, and makes it a point to chat weekly with the local food outlets about what produce they would be most interested in buying. She is also kept very busy looking after her large family, who always seem to be hungry!
Olivia Grunt (8 yrs), despite not being the eldest child, is very likely to inherit the family business! She loves everything about the farm, is not afraid of hard work, and is getting very good at knowing just when the fruits and vegetables are ready for picking.
Wilbur Grunt (4 yrs) is the eldest of the Grunt triplets - by a whole three minutes! He and his brother Hamlet are lively, boisterous young piglets, and Wilbur is often the one leading the charge.
Hamlet Grunt (4 yrs) is happy to go along with his brother's schemes, whether it is climbing one of the apple trees to see how high they can go, jumping in mud puddles, or bothering their sisters.
Henrietta Wendy Grunt (4 yrs) sometimes wishes she wasn't a triplet. She does love her brothers, and sometimes finds their antics amusing, but HenWen (as she is usually known) is a much quieter and gentler piglet at heart. Her favourite thing is having tea parties with her friends in the tree house her dad built - and not inviting her brothers!
Hugh Grunt (10 yrs) is not at all interested in farming. Whilst he is expected to help out from time to time, his mind is elsewhere. Hugh dreams of being a famous actor, and indeed his teachers say he shows some promise in this area. He is usually given one of the lead roles in school plays, and in his free time enjoys learning speeches from the plays of his favourite playwright, William Sheepsheare.
The Periwinkle Rabbit Family
Franklin Periwinkle is an inventor and scientist. He and his family live in the Field View Mill, and have harnessed the power of the wind to supply the village with electricity. Franklin can be somewhat absent minded, and it is not unusual for him to spend hours in his workshop - alone or with a family member - lost in ideas and plans for new inventions.
Nikola Periwinkle is just as clever and scientifically-minded as her husband, and plays her part in keeping the Mill running smoothly. Luckily though, she is less likely to forget other important things, such as meals. She finds plain, down-to-earth cooking quite boring, but enjoys playing with molecular gastronomy. Consequently, meals at the Mill can be quite unusual, but she always makes sure her family is getting sufficient vitamins.
Faraday Periwinkle (9 yrs) is very keen on science. Her teachers often despair of her, as she is in their words "quite brilliant" in science classes, but utterly abysmal when it is time to do any writing or spelling. Indeed, her handwriting is almost illegible. Her favourite hours are spent in the workshop, tinkering with her own electrical experiments - and her dad is already impressed...
Alessandra Periwinkle (2 yrs) is a placid little girl who enjoys playing with building blocks, paints, and her favourite blanket. What she likes best of all is lunch time, as this little bunny loves to eat! Her big sister likes to joke that "Alessandra's batteries need lots of recharging"!
Henry Periwinkle (3 yrs) is a rough-and-tumble little boy, who loves playing in the mud and always seems to have a dirty face. His parents encourage this behaviour, as they say he is "learning through play", or "experimenting with the physical world".
Edison Periwinkle (12 yrs) is a junior student at Bottlebrush Academy, and already getting top marks in physics and chemistry. He, too, loves spending time in the workshop; in Edison's case this often involves helping his father with a new project, or working on his own model car collection.
The Prickles Hedgehog Family
Hawthorn Prickles is Macadamia Grove's handyman, mechanic, and all-round "Mr Fixit" - he has a talent for problem solving, and figuring out how things work. He is also a great dad - the Prickles are a very close family, and much attached to their home - in fact, Hawthorn's family has lived in their cottage in Macadamia Grove for generations!
Briar Prickles is the village dressmaker, and a very busy hedgehog! The villagers know they can trust her to make beautiful clothes, curtains and bedlinen, but she is also happy to take in smaller jobs such as mending. She is a very down-to-earth person, with a caring nature. She loves her family more than anything, although sometimes they joke that her sewing machine comes in a fairly close second!
Silk Prickles (6 yrs) is a sweet, dreamy child whose mind always seems a million miles away. Her schoolwork can be somewhat erratic, and yet she has been known to finish the newspaper crossword puzzle in record time, and occasionally annoys her brother greatly by saying that his maths homework "doesn't look that hard". She drives her no-nonsense mother to distraction, but Hawthorn understands her a little better. Silk is intensely interested in insects, and loves to sit in her brother's garden, drawing the ones she sees.
Raspberry Prickles (2 yrs) is as different as can be from her siblings! Boisterous, bouncy and energetic, she makes enough noise for two - but it is usually a happy noise. Raspberry is affectionate, cheerful, and much loved by everyone (although the quieter members of the family do occasionally find themselves looking forward to her nap time...)
Gale Prickles (8 yrs) is a nature lover whose favourite pastime is gardening. He is never happier than when he is up to his knees in dirt, and has quite the green thumb! His parents encourage him to spend time on his hobby - but only when his homework is finished! Gale doesn't like school, and has to work hard to pass his tests. The only exception is in science, when they are learning about insects and plants!
The Rivertail Beaver Family
Murray Rivertail is Macadamia Grove's local builder. He is an outdoorsy sort of person, and enjoys going hiking and fishing in his spare time.
Brooke Rivertail is a qualified architect, who designs most of the houses her husband builds. She loves to spend what little free time she has catching up with friends for a coffee and a chat.
Misty Rivertail (6 yrs) is a shy little girl, who enjoys quiet activities such as writing stories. She is however a very good swimmer, and always wins the school races in the river.
Todd Rivertail (8 yrs) is a mischievous, energetic little beaver who keeps his mother on her toes! He is good at heart though, and hopes to one day work alongside his dad in the building trade.
Rupert Cottontail and his wife Sorrel own and run the village Supermarket.
Sorrel Cottontail .
Oz Cottontail (2 yrs)
Xander Cottontail (10 yrs)
Willow Cottontail (14 yrs)
The Dale Sheep Family
Ewan Dale and his wife Corrie have been employed as gardeners by the Macadamia Village Council. Together they work hard to keep the public spaces of Macadamia Grove looking nice. Ewan is responsible for mowing and maintaining all the lawns, as well as keeping any pests under control. Whenever possible, he likes to make time to stop in at the Chocolat's shop, as Ewan is a bit of a chocaholic!
Corrie Dale is responsible for looking after all the other plants in the village - from planting cheerful spring displays in public flowerbeds, to pruning the trees. Corrie takes great pride in her work, and enjoys it very much - even the weeding! She is a quiet, shy person, and working in peaceful solitude, outside in the sunshine and fresh air, she is in her element.
Lincoln Dale (8 yrs) enjoys playing sports, especially cricket. He is also very keen on building with Lego, and has made some quite impressive creations!

Peren Dale (7 yrs) is quite a placid, docile child, usually quite content to go along with whatever plan or activity her friends or brother has dreamed up. She also likes drawing pictures. Her favourite thing though, is when her dad brings a family assortment box of chocolates home from the Chocolats' shop!
The Fielding Mouse Family

The Fletcher Border Collie Family
Stanley Fletcher was hired by Murray Rivertail almost as soon as he set foot in Macadamia Grove. With business booming, Murray was finding it very hard to keep up, so another qualified builder looking for work was just what he had been wishing for! Stanley enjoys his work, and is also pleased to have weekends off to pursue his real passion: archery! He runs an archery class each Saturday, for young and old alike. Under his enthusiastic tutelage, the sport is becoming quite popular in the village.
Elinor Fletcher is a very organised person, who has her paws full looking after her active family. When she has some time to herself, she likes to go for a jog - she says it helps her to de-stress and relax.
Timmy Fletcher (7 yrs) likes to run, too - as fast as he can! His favourite game to play with his friends is chasey, but hardly anyone can ever catch him!
Timmy Fletcher (7 yrs) likes to run, too - as fast as he can! His favourite game to play with his friends is chasey, but hardly anyone can ever catch him!
Mia Fletcher (2 yrs) and her twin brother Jeremy are inseparable. They are very quick and active, but other grown-ups (especially Mrs Grunt) marvel at how well they get along and play together. Sometimes they almost seem to be able to read each other's minds!
Jeremy Fletcher (2 yrs) and Mia have a favourite game that their mother invented: They have to hide under a blanket while their mum hides a number of toys around the house. Then the twins try to find them and round them up as fast as they can!
Merida Fletcher (9 yrs) is a headstrong, rather wild girl, who hates constrained, indoor, structured activities. She is a talented young archer though, and excels in her father's weekend classes. With her bow in her hand she displays all the poise, balance, and focus that her teachers rather wish she would bring to her school work.
Constance Grunt is also very involved with the day-to-day farm work, but she likes to experiment with different fruits and vegetables. Constance likes to keep her trotter on the pulse, and makes it a point to chat weekly with the local food outlets about what produce they would be most interested in buying. She is also kept very busy looking after her large family, who always seem to be hungry!
Olivia Grunt (8 yrs), despite not being the eldest child, is very likely to inherit the family business! She loves everything about the farm, is not afraid of hard work, and is getting very good at knowing just when the fruits and vegetables are ready for picking.
Wilbur Grunt (4 yrs) is the eldest of the Grunt triplets - by a whole three minutes! He and his brother Hamlet are lively, boisterous young piglets, and Wilbur is often the one leading the charge.
Hamlet Grunt (4 yrs) is happy to go along with his brother's schemes, whether it is climbing one of the apple trees to see how high they can go, jumping in mud puddles, or bothering their sisters.
Henrietta Wendy Grunt (4 yrs) sometimes wishes she wasn't a triplet.

The Outback Koala Family
Steve Outback was a highly respected doctor in Town, but longed for a more relaxed village lifestyle, with more time to spend with his family. He has found this in Macadamia Grove. His patients appreciate his calm, caring manner, coupled with a sly sense of humour.
Kylie Outback is also a doctor - she and Steve met at university (where Kylie graduated top of her class!), and have been together ever since. Kylie and Steve share not only the medical practice in Macadamia Grove, but also the care of their three youngsters. Kylie is a big believer in healthy foods, and likes to experiment in the kitchen with raw foods and fresh green smoothies.
Karri Outback is yet to see her first birthday, and is very much a mummy's girl. She loves to be sung to, and to cuddle up in her sling on mum or dad's back.
Adelaide (or Addie) Outback (3 yrs) is a highly independent little koala with a mind of her own. She is an extremely good climber, and has never fallen out of a tree, despite her fearless enthusiasm for heights!
Jarrah Outback (2 yrs) is a happy, easy-going toddler, who always has a smile for everyone. He enjoys playing outside, but lacks his sister's boundless energy (which is perhaps fortunate for their parents!)
The Patches Dalmation Family
Ben Patches is the village postman. Before moving to Macadamia Grove, the Patches family had quite an adventurous life, travelling constantly and living in many different parts of the world. When they decided to settle in one place, Ben was pleased to be offered a job that lets him spend lots of time outside and on the move - he is not the sort of man who would like to be stuck behind a desk!
Pippa Patches believes strongly in the power of books. A great reader herself, she has loved the experience of living all over the world, as well as learning about the history and customs of each place. She feels fortunate that she and Ben have been able to offer such experiences to their family, too, but was keen to settle somewhere with good schools available now that the children are getting a little older. She now head of a small team of volunteers who run the village library.
Zac Patches (10 yrs) is an adventurous young lad, who rather misses all the travelling his family used to do. In his rare quiet moments (when he is not getting up to some mischief with his friends), he likes to look through the family photo album, and at all the souvenirs they have collected on their travels.
Sarah Patches (12 yrs) is a very studious young lady, who cares a great deal about doing her very best at school. She feels lucky to be attending Bottlebrush Academy, and hopes that she will be allowed to board there when she is old enough! Sarah loves to read, especially books on history. She also likes to read the more romantic style of historical fiction books, although they annoy her when the history isn't accurate!
The Pennypress Red Panda Family
William Pennypress is the editor and chief reporter of the Macadamia Times newspaper. He is devoted to his work, and feels keenly his responsibility to ensure that everything reported in the Times is the truth. William is a talented writer, but knows he has a tendency to get bogged down in the details - he relies on his wife's ability to distil everything down to a snappy headline.
Sacharissa Pennypress is also a reporter for the newspaper. She concentrates on what she calls "local news" (and what some others might call gossip!), and has a nose for ferreting out anything interesting that may be happening in the village. She has sharp eyes, and sometimes a sharp tongue, but those who know her well know that she can also be generous and funny.
Verity Pennypress (10 yrs) admires her father's ability to tell a story, and has become quite the storyteller herself. Unlike her father though, she has a particular talent for embellishing the truth. In full flight, she can have a room full of children spellbound by her unlikely tales, but the adults in her life have learnt to be a little more suspicious of Verity's stories...
Steve Outback was a highly respected doctor in Town, but longed for a more relaxed village lifestyle, with more time to spend with his family. He has found this in Macadamia Grove. His patients appreciate his calm, caring manner, coupled with a sly sense of humour.

Roxy Renard
Roxy Renard owns and runs a laundry business, for those who prefer not to do their own washing and ironing. She is in her late fifties, and a widow, her husband having sadly died some years ago. Their only child, a daughter, is now grown up and is something of a nomad, travelling all over Sylvania. Therefore Roxy lives alone, but this suits her very well, having always been a very cheerful and independent lady. She loves to keep busy, and is pleased to count many of her customers as good friends.
The Rivertail Beaver Family
Brooke Rivertail is a qualified architect, who designs most of the houses her husband builds. She loves to spend what little free time she has catching up with friends for a coffee and a chat.

Robin Slydale .
The Thistlethorn Mouse Family
Francis Thistlethorn in his youth was seen by all the girls as a catch, and by everyone as a young man to watch. Devastatingly handsome, charming, intelligent and witty, he was clearly destined for greatness. Imagine the shock then, when straight out of high school he proposed to young Willow Greytail, and settled down to raise a family in the country! Francis has kept his good looks and his charm, but always knew that the important things in life are love and family. Now that he and Willow have moved their family to Macadamia Grove for a fresh start, Francis has opened a flower shop.

The Thistlethorn Mouse Family
Willow Thistlethorn is a devoted wife and mother, and an excellent cook. Following the tragic fire at their old home in the country a year ago, she spent much of her time in doctor's surgeries and hospitals in Town with her children, and is pleased that those times are now almost over for good. She also enjoys doing some volunteer work at the local library.
Celeste Thistlethorn (11 yrs) seems to have inherited some of her father's traits - always a pretty child, she is generally expected to become quite the village beauty in the next few years. Much to her younger sister's disbelief though, Celeste couldn't care less! She has instead become energetically involved with trying to make others' lives better - from helping to organise the younger children at the Easter egg hunt, to spearheading a campaign on paw washing at school. Celeste escaped unscathed from the fire at the old house, with her mother's help.
Priscilla Thistlethorn (9 yrs), unlike her sister, is a very feminine young miss, already much interested in clothes, fur and parties. Her mother worries a little that Priscilla is too concerned with her appearance, but she is a brave and kind little mouse at heart, and quite sensitive about the deep burn scars on her shoulder, so her parents are content to let her fuss with her dresses and ribbons for now.
Ash Thistlethorn (7 yrs) is a fairly quiet boy with a mischievous sense of humour. He was trapped in their family home when it caught fire, and would not have survived had it not been for his brave sister Priscilla, who rescued him from the burning building. Since that day, all the Thistlethorn siblings have become very close, and are fiercely protective of each other, even though they don't always get along. Ash's tail was badly damaged in the fire, and had to be amputated. The young mouse is now all but healed, and hopes for a new start in this new village.
Nicholas Thistlethorn (8 yrs) is a happy, active boy who excels at sports, especially running and climbing. He also enjoys helping his mother in the kitchen - the family all agrees that his pancakes are even better than hers! Nicholas was carried out of the fire by his father, having been knocked out by a falling piece of wood. He sustained no lasting ill effects.
Nathaniel Thistlethorn and his wife Marigold have followed their son Francis and his family to Macadamia Grove. He likes to help out with his grandchildren where he can, and has been a great comfort and inspiration to Ash in recent times, as Nathaniel too is missing his tail! Once a maker and purveyor of fine cheeses, Nathaniel likes to joke that he lost his tail "in an encounter with a particularly aggressive batch of Limburger."
Marigold Thistlethorn, like her husband, has devoted the last year or so to helping her son's young family recover from the fire. In her sweet smile, bright eyes, and quick mind, it is easy to see a reflection of Francis. The children love her to read them stories and poems - Marigold seems to have a knack for making the words come alive - and Willow has nearly convinced her to do some story-time sessions for little ones, at the new local library.
The Trunk Elephant Family
Hugo Trunk. Hugo and his wife Savannah own and run a delightful second hand clothing shop (and haberdashery). Hugo runs the business end of things, and is pleased to see his wife thriving in her new profession (although he is beginning to suspect that the whole idea of the dress shop may have been so that Savannah can quietly channel any hats that come along into her own private collection!) Hugo is also on the Macadamia Grove council.
Andre Woolly originally followed in his father's footsteps, working on the Sylvanian railways as a train driver. He enjoyed his work, and could always keep a room entertained with tales of life on the railways. Ariane encouraged him to start writing them down, and eventually to submit them for publishing. Much to Andre's surprise, "Life On The Rails" became a best-seller! He still drives trains, but only part-time, on the local lines. That way he gets to spend more time with his growing family, as well as working on his next book (he is thinking of calling it "Off The Rails"!)
Ariane Woolly is a well-established author of children's books. Many a Sylvanian child has nodded off to sleep during a reading of "Goodnight Honeybee", or eagerly turned the pages of her latest adventure novel. She always says her family are her inspiration - and now she is very proud to see her husband having such great success with his writing too!
Joy Woolly (9 yrs) is a giggly, bubbly girl whose nature definitely lives up to her name - she is the kind of person who can find joy in almost any activity. Her favourite things are parties, lollies, and playing games with her friends.
Gabriel & Tomas Woolly (1 yr) are identical twins, and a more mischievous pair of baby boys could not be imagined. They love getting into everything they can, but their favourite game of all is hiding from Nanna!
Angel Woolly (8 yrs) is quite a sensitive young lad. He enjoys reading poetry, and stories set in faraway places. When he grows up, he wants to be a train driver like his dad and grandpa. Angel dreams of one day driving a train the whole length of Sylvania and back!
Diego Woolly spent his younger years working as a train driver (and inspired his son to do the same!) Now that he has retired, he has left the travelling life behind him, and he and Darrell have moved to Macadamia Grove with their son's young family. Diego is a simple soul, who enjoys nothing more than settling down with his family, the newspaper and a good cup of coffee.
Celeste Thistlethorn (11 yrs) seems to have inherited some of her father's traits - always a pretty child, she is generally expected to become quite the village beauty in the next few years. Much to her younger sister's disbelief though, Celeste couldn't care less! She has instead become energetically involved with trying to make others' lives better - from helping to organise the younger children at the Easter egg hunt, to spearheading a campaign on paw washing at school. Celeste escaped unscathed from the fire at the old house, with her mother's help.
Priscilla Thistlethorn (9 yrs), unlike her sister, is a very feminine young miss, already much interested in clothes, fur and parties. Her mother worries a little that Priscilla is too concerned with her appearance, but she is a brave and kind little mouse at heart, and quite sensitive about the deep burn scars on her shoulder, so her parents are content to let her fuss with her dresses and ribbons for now.
Ash Thistlethorn (7 yrs) is a fairly quiet boy with a mischievous sense of humour. He was trapped in their family home when it caught fire, and would not have survived had it not been for his brave sister Priscilla, who rescued him from the burning building. Since that day, all the Thistlethorn siblings have become very close, and are fiercely protective of each other, even though they don't always get along. Ash's tail was badly damaged in the fire, and had to be amputated. The young mouse is now all but healed, and hopes for a new start in this new village.
Nicholas Thistlethorn (8 yrs) is a happy, active boy who excels at sports, especially running and climbing. He also enjoys helping his mother in the kitchen - the family all agrees that his pancakes are even better than hers! Nicholas was carried out of the fire by his father, having been knocked out by a falling piece of wood. He sustained no lasting ill effects.
Marigold Thistlethorn, like her husband, has devoted the last year or so to helping her son's young family recover from the fire. In her sweet smile, bright eyes, and quick mind, it is easy to see a reflection of Francis. The children love her to read them stories and poems - Marigold seems to have a knack for making the words come alive - and Willow has nearly convinced her to do some story-time sessions for little ones, at the new local library.
The Trunk Elephant Family
Savannah Trunk is in her element running the second hand dress shop, although the ladies of the village have noticed that they never seem to find very many hats for sale... Savannah also loves going to and hosting parties. She is known for her extravagant hats, and is said to have one for every occasion.
Nellie Trunk (11 yrs) likes to help out in her family's business. She also loves dancing, and goes to classes at the Macadamia Grove School of Performing Arts. Nellie is best friends with Bramble Babblebrook.

Ariane Woolly is a well-established author of children's books. Many a Sylvanian child has nodded off to sleep during a reading of "Goodnight Honeybee", or eagerly turned the pages of her latest adventure novel. She always says her family are her inspiration - and now she is very proud to see her husband having such great success with his writing too!
Joy Woolly (9 yrs) is a giggly, bubbly girl whose nature definitely lives up to her name - she is the kind of person who can find joy in almost any activity. Her favourite things are parties, lollies, and playing games with her friends.
Gabriel & Tomas Woolly (1 yr) are identical twins, and a more mischievous pair of baby boys could not be imagined. They love getting into everything they can, but their favourite game of all is hiding from Nanna!
Angel Woolly (8 yrs) is quite a sensitive young lad. He enjoys reading poetry, and stories set in faraway places. When he grows up, he wants to be a train driver like his dad and grandpa. Angel dreams of one day driving a train the whole length of Sylvania and back!
Darrell Woolly is thrilled to be sharing a home with her extended family. She and Ariane get along very well together, and are also busily making friends with some of the other ladies in the village. Darrell loves baking cookies (which is good, as Diego loves eating them!), but the real joy of her life is her grandchildren, and she is never too busy to play hide and seek with them.

Hello Grey Rabbit and Caitlyn Hazelnut I am enjoying meeting the families and was wondering if you are considering building a second storey on your abode to properly house them all?
ReplyDeleteHa ha - sometimes it feels as though that would be very convenient! :D
