“Mama?” Sophie asks.

“Yeah baby?” Veronica replies, putting some slightly snazzy hoop earrings in as her babies watch from the bathroom counter.

“Why… um… um… why we get dwessed up?” Sophie asked, looking down at her clothes.

“Because, we’re having people over for dinner tonight." Veronica explains. “You remember Mommy and I told you who’s coming right?”

“Nana!” Bryson cheers excitedly.

“Yeah Nana is coming. Who else?” Veronica says happily, helping her kids down and adjusting the adorable oversized Christmas sweaters they have on over some comfy leggings.

“G’amma?” Bryson asks with a tilt of his head.

“Yeah, Grandma and Grandad are coming too.” Veronica nods.

“And Aunt Juwie?” Sophie asks.

“Aunt Julie should be here to, yeah. She should be here with Nana.” Veronica says.

“Santa!” Sophie cheers. Veronica laughs and kisses her cheek.

“Santa will be here on Christmas Eve darling. He’s not coming for dinner silly.” Veronica told her tenderly.

“Oh.....” Sophie says sadly.

“I know baby love, But you don’t have to wait too much longer. It’s already the twentieth, you only have a few more days.” Veronica comforts.

“How much days?” Bryson asks.

“Let’s go check, come here ” Veronica replies, picking them both up and carrying them downstairs to the kitchen. Heather smiles when she sees her family together and comes up behind them as Veronica carries them over to the calendar. “Bry, which one says twenty?”

“Uh…” Bryson hums, anxiously nibbling on his fingertip. “Dis one?” He  pointed exactly on the 20th.

“Yeah! You’re getting so good with those big numbers." Veronica cheers. “That’s today, and Sophie, Santa comes on the twenty-fifth, can you find that one?”

“Two and fibe?” Sophie clarifies. Veronica nods to say she was right, so Sophie gets to work trying to find that one. “Here!” She pointed her tiny finger.

“Yep!” Veronica says happily. “How many days are in between?”

Bryson taps each day with his finger as they both count them off. “One, two, free, four, fibe.”

“Fibe days!” Bryson cheers when his finger is next to Sophie's on the twenty-fifth. Heather takes him from Veronica and kisses all three of them on the cheek.

“You guys have Mamma's brains." she says quietly. “Thank god."

“Mommy, Santa comin’ on… fibe days.” Sophie says happily.
