The One I Was Waiting For.

Welcome home, Daddy.

"But I want that big one!" I pout and demand for the big Christmas tree. Rob and I came to buy one and he is insisting the small one.

"How will we take it home, Mishi?" He asks; reasonably.

I again pout.
And then my sight fixes on a medium sized one.
Perfect!

"That one!" I squeal and point to the medium one.

"Okay, thats final." Rob says holding me by my waist.

"Yayy." I grin and jump.

I have been like this- happy and excited since the doctor allowed dad for coming home. Though two nurses will always be there around him and he'll be on bed rest.
Lee will bring him in the evening.

We finally purchase the Christmas tree and its decorative items and then go to another shops in the mall for getting gifts.
We buy gifts for everyone but in the end, I get confused.
What should I gift daddy?

I look around; to find something sensible. But can't find anything.

And then I suddenly remember!

He has an undying love for sweaters. Back then, Mommy used to gift him sweater at every Christmas knitted by her hand. And he always loved them. He happily collected them.

I take Rob to a winter stuffed shop and ask for sweaters.
They show us so many sweaters that I get confused again. And anyway, what do I know about men's sweaters.
So I look up at Rob and give him one of those looks which melts him. He smiles and kisses NY forehead.

"You're one cute thing." He says with amusement.
I, as always, blush. I will never know how he does that?

Then he shuffles through the sweaters they showed us and pick out a brown one.
It's very soft and cute and it's color will definitely suit on daddy.

"I think the color will suit him." Rob's voice mirror my thoughts.

"Haw! You read my mind." I gape at him and say.

Then we both laugh and agree to buy this sweater only.
After that, we go to the tree shop again and tell them to load the tree in our car.

They do as they're told and then we drive home. I am so happy on the way.

Christmas with daddy!!!

I check the time. Its 5.
I think Lee will bring daddy till 6.
And then we'll start the christmas eve celebration.

When we reach home, Jack and Richard are done fixing the lights on the house. Now both our houses are dazzling. I smile at it.
I run inside to see the other arrangements and Rob brings the Christmas tree behind me.

I see in the huge living room, the bed for daddy has been arranged. The decoration with ribbons and red balloons are done.
I go to the dining room, then.

Nia and Mandy are helping mom in arranging the sweets and starters on it. Wow! I am first time seeing the girls helping mom.

When they are done, Nia comes to me with a worried expression plastered over her face.

"What happened to you?" I ask frowning.

"Mishi, can you please call Mate and invite him over, I need to go take bath and get ready." She says; panicking.

"Whoa calm down. Didn't he go to her grandma's home with his sister?" I ask.

"No, only his sister went. He had some work so...he's alone. And its Christmas." She frowns so badly. It just shows how much she loves him.
