Abby is awfully well behaved! Our Small Child would have been opening everyone's presents for them.
I love the initial exchange of greetings between John and Sherlock.
The presents seem very apt!

I watched a video on youtube of a girl Abby's age on Christmas morning to get a feel for how a three year old might react, and that girl was super sweet about everyone's presents, which surprised me, but I went with Abby being quite pleased for everyone, though a bit up in their faces about it. I imagine Abby probably did some 'helping" with the wrapping on the other gifts, though.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

My brother-in-law's first child was the one they call the "sucker" kid: so easy they decided to have another, and another. The other two were not so easy.

Hahaha, what a great introduction of Sherlock. I also find it very sweet that Sherlock has a key but only shows up when he’s invited.
John worried Abby would enter Reception with no idea of the alphabet, but a university level knowledge of science.
To be fair, this is a legitimate concern with an uncle like Sherlock. :)
This was such a delightful Christmas story. I do feel sorry for Sherlock who needed a bit of a nap after the other Christmas party, but it’s sweet that he feels he can be himself with John, Sarah, and Abby. <3
