A Christmas Story - part 5

​Christmas Morning

"Merry Christmas!  I hope you have a wonderful day!"
Picture
Then it was time to give Elora her gifts...
Picture
"Oh, wow!!"
Picture
"It's a special wind-up music box we had made for you...."
Picture
" It has all your favourite ponies on it...."
Picture
"I love it, and I love my new Teddy too.  Thank you so much!"
Picture
"So, when is it going to be dinner time?  I can't wait for Nora, Nick, and Hans to come..."
Picture

Waiting

Even though it was still early in the morning and nowhere near dinner time,
​Elora kept watching out the window for her new friends to appear..
Picture
The hours crawled by....
Picture
...and still no sign of them....
Picture
"Is it almost dinner time yet??"
Picture
Picture
"I just don't see them...."
Picture
 "Maybe they aren't coming...."
Picture
"Do you think they forgot??"
Picture

Finally.....

Elora spent the entire afternoon looking out the window, watching for her new friends to arrive....
Picture
"You know, time would pass a lot faster if you went and found something else to do...."
Picture
"But I'm too excited to do anything else..."
Picture
Then suddenly she spotted them....
Picture
  "Look they are coming!!"
Picture
"There's Nick and Nora!!"
Picture
Picture
"...and there's Hans with his Mom and Dad too..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Hans saw Elora up at the window and waved to her...
Picture

the First Guests Arrive

The King and Queen stood ready to welcome their guests....
Picture
First to be escorted in, were Nick and Nora....
Picture
Each carrying a huge, beautifully wrapped gift....
Picture
"Are those for me??"
Picture
"Yes one is..... but I'm just going to tuck them under your tree for now...."
Picture
"You can open it later, after dinner...."
Picture
"Okay....I guess...."
Picture

Introductions

The King started to introduce them to the Queen....
Picture
"This is Nick, and his granddaughter Nora...." 
Picture
Then he introduced the Queen..."and of course, you both already know our daughter, Elora..."
Picture
Picture
"It's an honour to meet you Your Highness..."
Picture
"The honour is all mine, dear sir"
Picture
...and the Queen gave Nick a big hug, and a kiss on his cheek.... ​
Picture
"We are so thankful to you and your granddaughter, for everything you did to help Elora yesterday.."
Picture

Hans and his Parents

Then Hans and his parents arrived....
Picture
The King made the introductions....
Picture
Elora was so happy to see Hans again...
Picture
"I was waiting for you.... all day...."
Picture
The Queen took Hans by the hand, and knelt down...
Picture
"And you must be our brave little hero, who tried to protect the Princess from the wolf yesterday.."
Picture
"Well.... it turned out that he was really just.... a big dog..."
Picture
"But you didn't know that at the time did you?"
Picture
Picture
"No, Ma'am..."
Picture
"Well, that definitely makes you a brave, little hero, in my eyes...."
