he called, his voice muffled by the thick scarf wrapped around his neck. I waved back and managed a smile. "Merry Christmas, Mr. Jones. You’re here bright and early!" “Oh, yes!” he chuckled as I parked and stepped out of my car. “Gotta get ready to buy gifts for the kids. Almost the big day, you know.” “Right,” I said, forcing some cheer into my voice. “That’s nice. I’m sure they’re excited.” And they probably were most people were.

I wonder if she

I hopped in the car, delighting in the warmth. "You look fabulous," he told me, leaning over to kiss my cheek. "Thanks. I got you a present!" "What is it?" "Can't tell!" He rolled his eyes. "You're a tease." "I've heard that before." When we got to the house, everyone was in the living room, even Jackson. They were watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on TV.

Grandpa Mick has Jacks now, holding him close and I love the sight. I pull my phone out and take a picture.

Luke grins, giving Noah a hi-five. Soon, the day gets over, and I say goodbye to my friends and walk to the park, sit in the swing and wait for Reed. I look around and still see the ground covered in snow. I admire the house nearby that is beautifully decorated for Christmas. It has always been my dream to come here and celebrate Christmas.

They were our miracles and nothing would be able to overcome that moment. The routine at home was very hectic on the first day. Ricardo and Andrew took turns taking care of the babies, helped by the nannies and my mother―in―law. Alice and I were exhausted but fulfilled. On Christmas Eve, my father―in―law gave a speech.
