Little Dragon's First Christmas

St. Nicholas

It was St. Nicholas Eve and he was busy making his rounds visiting all the good children in the realm...
Picture
It was the little dragon's very first Christmas so Winston took two of them out to meet him...
Picture
Nuri was so excited...
Picture
...and she was thrilled to go out to meet him....
Picture
"I hope you've all been good little dragons this year."
Picture
"Well..." Nuri paused....
Picture
Picture
"They've been really good...." interjected her Dad....
Picture
"...for the most part."
Picture
"So, just like every other young child their age then." noted St. Nicholas.
Picture
And they all headed towards the castle...
Picture
"Follow me..." said Scorch....
Picture
"I know the way!"
Picture

St. Nicholas at the Castle

Baron had invited his brother and his family....
Picture
...as well as Winston's family, ​to the castle to meet St. Nicholas.
Picture
St. Nicholas was the patron saint of children....
Picture
..and they were drawn to him, crowding in close...
Picture
....as their parents watched.

St. Nicholas and the Little Ones

With all the children crowding around St. Nicholas, it was hard for the smallest ones to get his attention...
Picture
Everyone wanted to get his attention...
Picture
So Saphira lifted little Sparkle up....
Picture
While Winston encouraged his other children to get in closer...
Picture
The other parents stood back out of the way...
Picture
Just watching to see how excited their children were.
Picture
St. Nicholas loved children - all children, including dragon ones ​
Picture
...and he was going to make sure to give each and every one of them some special attention.
Picture
But with there being so many of them, they were each going to have to wait their turn.
Picture

Visiting with St. Nicholas

St. Nicholas sat down, so the children could take turns sitting on his knee...
Picture
He was just as attentive to the little dragons....
Picture
Picture
Picture
...as he was to the other children.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Elliot and Scorch were getting rather curious about what was in St. Nicholas' sack..
Picture
Olivia noticed them trying to peak into the sack...
Picture
But everyone else was too focussed on St. Nicholas and the children
Picture
Picture
"Your Dad tells me that you've been a good little dragon."
Picture
She had, but her brothers were another matter....
Picture
They were becoming far too bold, taking toys out of St. Nicholas' bag
Picture
Olivia gave them a disapproving look...
Picture

Someone Else's Turn

Agnes picked up little Nuri, who St. Nicholas had given a candy cane...
Picture
...and Naomi picked up Fiona...
Picture
...and it was Daniel's and Mika's turn to have a visit with St. Nicholas...
Picture
But Elliot and Scorch hadn't stopped pulling toys out of his sack. In fact, Sparkle had joined them...
Picture
Winston finally noticed what his kids were up to...
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and decided to put a stop to it...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
While St. Nicholas just ignored what the little dragons were up to, and kept his focus on the two  children on his lap...
Picture
..leaving it up to Winston to deal with his kids...
Picture
Picture

A Quiet Afternoon

After St. Nicholas left, and all the excitement subsided, it turned into a quiet afternoon.
Picture
The adults had a chance to catch up with each other...
Picture
...while the children played with their new toys...
Picture
Picture
Sparkle joined Daniel and Elliot playing with their toy soldiers...
Picture
Picture
Nuri and Mika were playing with their new dolls...
Picture
Picture
Scorch had received an assortment of stuffed animals, and was playing with Gabi and her toy ark. ​He wondered why there were no dragons on the ark.
Picture
"Well there probably wasn't enough room." said Olivia.   
​"Plus dragons can fly", added Winston."We don't need a boat."
Picture
Scorch wasn't convinced. He thought it might have been nice to go for a boat ride.
Picture
Even so, it turned out to be a lovely time together.
