Seth watched as Becky stirred gently next to him... she stretched and said "Merry Christmas my forever love"  "Merry Christmas"  he said kissing her softly.  Becky went down to start the coffee while Seth went in to get Kayleigh and change her.

"Merry Christmas princess" Becky said kissing her forehead "looks like  Santa left a whole sleighful of goodies for you."  Kayleigh giggled. Becky grabbed their coffee mugs and she and seth  intotook Kayleigh into  the living room and looked in her christmas stocking and helped her unwrap her presents.... it was such a blast!

as they laughed and had fun with Kayleigh,  seth heard a knock at the door... "Becks..... see who is at the door will ya"  "im kinda buried in wrapping paper right now" he laughed. Becky went to the door and  let a squeal of happiness.. "MUM, POP... what are you doing here??"  she said.

"Happy Christmas baby girl!" her dad said hugging her tightly .   Becky took their coats and then her mom said "Happy Christmas lass"  she went and got them some coffee and followed  them into the living room.

Seth untangled himself from the wrapping paper and stood up.  "Happy Christmas son" Becky's dad said hugging Seth.  "Merry Christmas"  Seth said returning the hug.   "happy Christmas lad" becky's mom said.   then they fussed over Kayleigh.

After they finished their coffee Becky's mom offered to make breakfast... "you have enough on your plate with the wee one and making Christmas supper."  her mom  said.  "i suppose a little help wouldn't hurt."  Becky said.  Becky's dad helped Seth pick up the living room While Becky went upstairs to get Kayleigh dressed and get herself dressed.  

after she got Kayleigh dressed she sat her in her crib and went in the bedroom to get dressed, she dabbed on minimal makeup- just tinted lip gloss and a little mascara and  pulled her hair in to a ponytail. when she game down with Kayleigh,  Seth ran up to get dressed.  Becky's dad chuckled when they walked into the dining room. 

"Ya look just like a did when you were home  for christmas that last year you studied here" her dad said "except for the wee one on your hip and the young lad with his arms around you"  Seth chuckled as he took Kayleigh from becky and put her in her booster seat.

after they finished their delicious breakfast,  Kayleigh played and  the adults chatted.  around 1 becky put Kayleigh down for a nap, and  the adults were then able to relax a little  and enjoy each others company.

it wasn't long before Seth's family arrived and  the house was bustling and happy.   they all had a wonderful christmas dinner and then relaxed with christmas carols, stories and cocoa.  Kayleigh crawled up on Seth's chest and fell asleep at one point, so he just held her as she slept. eventually he took he upstairs and got her ready for bed and put her down for the night. 

Seth's family left shortly after that as it was snowing pretty hard.  while Seth waited for Becky's parents to get ready to leave.  Seth caught Becky under the mistletoe but was very hesitant to kiss her since her dad was standing nearby.

"its ok lad" her dad said  "i know its cause you love her"  "besides, me bones are gettin too old ta give ya a proper thrashin for getting fresh with her." he added with a chuckle and a grin Seth and Becky chuckled as he kissed her softly.

Seth left to take her parents back to their hotel and Becky relaxed on the couch and thought about everything that happened that day, it had been a wonderful Christmas.
