Victorian Christmas Continued

​A Guest Arrives

​There was a knock at the door, and Iris went to answer it....."Come on in..."
Picture
"Everyone, this is Nick, who owns the toy store..."
Picture
"I invited him to come spend Christmas with us...."
Picture
Picture
"He looks like Santa Claus!  Do you think he really is?"
Picture
Baby Sena was all excited when she saw him...
Picture
"Thank you so much for inviting me.  I really appreciate it.
I brought a pie for dessert...
and some gifts for the children."
Picture
"Thank you!  I'll take that."
Picture
"Welcome to our home, sir...."
Picture
"It's so nice that you could come.."
Picture
"Are you sure he isn't Santa??"
​"I don't know. But he sure looks like he could be."
Picture
"'And who might this be??"
Picture
'This is Francina Elizabeth. We call her Sena, for short.  This is her very first Christmas."
Picture
"It's so nice to meet you Sena...."
Picture
"Well, I better get back to the kitchen..."
Picture

More Gifts

Nick, from the Toy store, had brought along some gifts for the children...
Picture
Everyone gathered round to see....
Picture
"That's so kind of you..."
Picture
"Now let's see if I got everyone's names right...."
Picture

Gifts for the Children

Everyone gathered round, excited to receive yet another gift
Picture
"Thank you so much!"
Picture
'Eric and Nyssa couldn't wait to open theirs....
Picture
"And for Sena, I have a nice soft little giraffe. Your Mom tells me that you like giraffes."
Picture
She loved it....
Picture
Picture
"Look, it's a snowman in a snow globe!"
Picture
"And I got.......more trains?!?"
Picture
Picture
Even so, Eric was intrigued by the new train cars from Nick...."'Santa Express'....hmmmm....I wonder...."
Picture
Nyssa was showing her Mom how her snow globe worked....
Picture
While the guys played with Eric's trains....

Setting the Table

 Lisa came into the room...."Dinner is almost ready. It's time to set the table..."
Picture
So Nick took Sena and got out of everyone's way...
Picture
..so they could move in the table and chairs...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Iris got the tablecloth and cutlery...
Picture
"I've got the Yule log centrepiece..."
Picture
Picture
Eric was still wondering about his new train car...
Picture
'Eric dear, could you please play with your train on the floor? We need to set the table"
Picture
Picture

Christmas Dinner

Finally the table was set, everyone was seated, and Lisa brought in the turkey...
Picture
"You've done such a great job on our dinner today, Lisa..."
Picture
"Yes, everything looks so delicious!"
Picture
Picture
"I don't think I like turkey. Maybe I'll just wait for the dessert. 
​
I'm really looking forward to the pie Santa - I  mean 'Nick' -  brought..."
Picture
Everyone turned to look....
Picture
"Your sister has been working in the kitchen all day, and I think you owe it to her to at least try some of everything.."
​

Which he agreed to do.......and then they all had a wonderful dinner, and time together.
