The Falling Effect: When you do something that causes something else to happen (i.e. you fall down, you scrape your knee. Or you have sex, you get pregnant)

Asher in the snow, adorable. Greyson ice skating with Asher, also adorable. Greyson with Asher in general, really fucking adorable.
Greyson was currently sitting in the snow, Asher held up on his feet between Grey's legs. Greyson lightly tossed him in the air, catching him as Asher let out a laugh.
My new favorite sound in the whole world.
Stepping away from the window I head over towards the couch, clutching my warm mug filled with hot chocolate. "Which movie first? Barbie in A Christmas Carol or Barbie in The Nutcracker?" Ellie asks, holding up both DVDs.
"Barbie in The Nutcracker, obviously." Gracie answers, rocking Paisley back and forth in the rocking chair.
"I'm so glad she's joined this tradition." I say, sitting on the couch, pulling a fuzzy blanket over my legs.
It was crazy that it was already Christmas Day. These past couple of days have gone by quickly and it was bittersweet. It was almost getting dark out and we had already watched plenty of Christmas movie classics throughout the day, in between playing in the snow, making gingerbread houses, decorating cookies, family hockey game, and plenty of other traditions.
The front door swings open as all the guys and the kids come barreling in, getting snow all over the front entry way. They all head upstairs after getting yelled at by our moms' for getting snow everywhere.
"One day they'll learn." Gracie says shaking her head.
"Will they though?" Ellie asks, setting the DVD in the Blu-Ray player as we chuckle.
A couple of minutes into the movie Chris and Greyson come down. "What are you doing? You can't start with the Nutcracker one, it's the best one." He says, pointing at the TV as Greyson looks at him like he's crazy.
"Dude.. You're not seriously telling them which Barbie movie is better, are you?" Greyson asks, passing Asher, who is in a black and red buffalo plaid, footie pajama that matches everybody else.
"Who cares about the Barbie movie, I can't get over seeing them in matching pajamas." Gracie laughs as Greyson and Chris look at each other before shrugging their shoulders.
"It's Christmas." Chris says before sinking into the large couch that fills the living room.
Greyson just hops over the edge of the couch as I chuckle before he wraps his arm around me and I snuggle into him, Asher falling asleep against my chest while I rub his back.
We all watch the movie, the other hooligans made their way down shortly after they came inside.
As the movie ends I look over to see Greyson knocked it, his head thrown back on the couch, lightly snoring. I unlock my phone quickly snapping a picture before I look over to see he's not the only one. Jake is passed out on the floor, Evan is asleep on Ellie's lap and Aiden is about to fall off the couch. Meanwhile, Chris is sitting on the floor with Claire on his lap, the two of them intently eating popcorn.
I giggle, snapping a picture of the scene before me.
"Okay. Last tradition of the day!" Anne announces coming in from the kitchen, "Christmas Vacation!" She says, holding up the DVD case.
Greyson stirs, slowly lifting his head up and looking around the room. "Morning sunshine!" I say as he looks down at me, rubbing the back of his neck. He nods before turning his attention to his mom.

"Bye Sweets. I love you." I say, squeezing Amelia before letting go.
"Bye Aunt Evy..." She says, pouting before running upstairs.
"Claire, come say bye." Gracie says as Claire comes over, I bend down to her eye level.
"Bye Squirt." She starts to crying as she hugs me, "I'll see you soon, okay." I say, feeling tears in my own eyes.
"Okay, we have to go, or I'm gonna cry." I say trying to pull away from Claire but she squeezes me harder.
"Claire, come on baby, let her go, I promise you'll see her soon." Aiden says, pulling her off of me as she sobs in his arms.
"I can't take this." I say as Gracie hugs me.
"She'll be laughing in five minutes, don't worry about it." She says as we pull away from each other.
"Text us when you guys land." Anne says, hugging me.
"We will." Greyson says, picking up Asher's carseat.
We head to the already started car, getting everything situated before taking off. "I think this was my favorite Christmas yet."

I told y'all it was short. I wasn't even planning on writing his chapter at all but then decided to.
