"Now, don't you give us too much to eat, Bettina," laughed Father. "I know your mother has been making some mighty elaborate preparations for dinner at home, and you must leave us with an appetite."
"Well, you won't have any appetite left if you eat all you want of these waffles of mine!" exclaimed Bob, coming in from the kitchen with a spoon in his hand and an apron tied around his neck.
"Go back to the kitchen, Cook!" said Uncle John. "We don't want to see you, but we're willing to taste your waffles. Bring 'em on!"
"First," said Bettina, "we'll eat our grapefruit. Then we'll open our packages, and then, Bob, you can help me serve the rest of our Christmas breakfast."
"Come on!" said Uncle John. "Then I'll be Santa Claus and deliver the presents!"
For breakfast Bettina served:
Grapefruit with Maraschino Cherries
Oatmeal and Dates Whipped Cream
Ham Cooked with Milk Creamed Potatoes
Muffins Orange Marmalade
Waffles Maple Syrup
