Getting Ready

Getting Ready for the Party

A Cake for Sena

Baby Sena's birthday was coming up, and Leona was busy making the cake. It was a labour of love, as she'd been there for her niece's birth a year ago. So the cake needed to be special...

Holly and Coco had come to watch...

"So, what do you think?"

"It's beautiful. I especially love the baby elephant. It's so cute!"

"Well, now that the cake is done, I can clean up, and then we can get ready to go to the party."

"This is going to be so exciting!"

It was almost time for Sena's birthday party.
Iris had sent some of her family's clothes, so everyone could dress up in Victorian period fashion.

Owen needed a little help tying his cravat...

Lonnie needed her hair done...

The girls were so excited to go, and were the first ones dressed, and kept admiring themselves in the mirror...

"Let me help you with your coat..."

"This is going to be so much fun.."

Everyone was getting ready to go to the party...

...except Coco, who was still too absorbed in his computer game....

Owen was getting a bit impatient...

"Time to put that thing away, and get dressed. We are all waiting for you..."

Lonnie picked up all the clothes he'd thrown on the floor....

...while Holly helped tie up his bow...

"Okay, we are all ready to go now...."

Time to Go

Owen & Leona lived in a beautiful, big Victorian home. But it held a secret. Up in the master bedroom there stood an old wardrobe. It was ancient, and had been in the family for generations. It might have been hundreds of years old. No one really knew.

But it was no ordinary wardrobe. With a special key, it would open a portal to times gone by. Leona and Iris knew about it from a young age, and after Iris married Steve, they decided they wanted to live a simpler life, and moved their family back to Victorian times. In fact they live in the same Victorian house as Owen and Leona, just a hundred and fifty years apart.

With everyone dressed and ready to go, Owen opened the door and Leona passed him the key...
