Dad looked at his watch. 'It's time to go,' he said. 'Is Angel Gabriel ready?'
Abbey stopped twirling. She turned and smiled and nodded.
'Good,' said Dad, and went to get the car out of the garage.
Mum locked the back door.
Grandma and Grandpa pulled the curtains in the sitting-room.
The twins 'ooohed' and 'ahhhed' at the twinkling red and green Christmas tree lights as they blinked in the dark.
Abbey hugged herself in excitement and couldn't wait to get going.
