"I invited him to come spend Christmas with us...."
"He looks like Santa Claus! Do you think he really is?"
Baby Sena was all excited when she saw him...
"Thank you so much for inviting me. I really appreciate it.
I brought a pie for dessert...and some gifts for the children."

"Thank you! I'll take that."
"Welcome to our home, sir...."
"It's so nice that you could come.."
"Are you sure he isn't Santa??"
"I don't know. But he sure looks like he could be."
"I don't know. But he sure looks like he could be."
"'And who might this be??"
'This is Francina Elizabeth. We call her Sena, for short. This is her very first Christmas."
"It's so nice to meet you Sena...."
"Well, I better get back to the kitchen..."

Nick, from the Toy store, had brought along some gifts for the children...
Everyone gathered round to see....
"That's so kind of you..."
"Now let's see if I got everyone's names right...."
Gifts for the Children
Everyone gathered round, excited to receive yet another gift
"Thank you so much!"
'Eric and Nyssa couldn't wait to open theirs....
"And for Sena, I have a nice soft little giraffe. Your Mom tells me that you like giraffes."
She loved it....
"Look, it's a snowman in a snow globe!"
"And I got.......more trains?!?"
Even so, Eric was intrigued by the new train cars from Nick...."'Santa Express'....hmmmm....I wonder...."
Nyssa was showing her Mom how her snow globe worked....
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..."
So Nick took Sena and got out of everyone's way...

Christmas Dinner
Finally the table was set, everyone was seated, and Lisa brought in the turkey...
"You've done such a great job on our dinner today, Lisa..."
"Yes, everything looks so delicious!"
"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..."
