Magical Christmas

And.. action!

It's Christmas day!!

The kids are playing together in the morning while baby Kylie is having her nap time in her room.

"Tell me again how can you cry easily?" Ryder asks curiously to Max.

Max rolls his eyes "not cry. Just make your eyes watery, glassy. That's more convincing" he says.

"Yeah I know but how?"

"Just think about the sad thing, Ry" Grace says.

"Teach me!"

"Oh no... not again" Justin says. "I'm out from drama class" he puts his hand's up so does Liam.

"We can't act." Liam gestures at himself, Justin and Elizabeth.

"What about you, Sun?" Justin asks Summer.

"Um... is acting including lying? If yes then I'm sure will get E" she shrugs. "At thanksgiving I went to San Diego and accidentally I ruined grandma Molly's cupcakes. I was so afraid and planning to lie. But when I saw my grandma all the lies I've prepared went to the window. I ended up sobbing in her lap" Summer says shyly.

"Hey that's good. You're not a liar. Liar is a loser." Justin says and Summer grins cheekily at him.

"Yeah, dad told me mom hates liars too" Char says.

"No one likes liars. But hey it's an act not a lie. It's different" Max says.

Grace nods "lie is something we do because we don't want anyone to know, while act is a skill. You do that just for an act. We will tell them the truth later." She explains.

Everyone nods.

"So who is in to act class with the Hall?" Grace grins.

"Not me" Justin says fast, Liam follows. "Elizabeth don't waste your time. You are as bad as us" Justin says to his sister. It's not the first time Grace and Max teach them how to act but somehow the act talent doesn't flow in their blood.

"I still want to try" Elizabeth giggles.

"Okay. Sun, you want to come with us? I'll take you to the treehouse" Justin says, Summer thinking for a while and nodding. "I'll join the next class, Grace," she stands up.

"Sure Summer!" Grace smiles sweetly.

Liam and Summer follow Justin to the treehouse.

"Okayyy so it's just us. Let's start!" Max grins.

Grace asks the parents to come to the living room for the show. Justin, Summer and Liam just came back from the treehouse with Meredith.

"Justin, your punishment, serve the canele to everyone" Madeline says. Meredith just told her about Justin. As usual Justin asked Summer to jump from the treehouse.

Justin does his duty. He serves his greatma too. "For the most beautiful lady in the world. The best canele made by my greatma, Helen Hall." He gives to his greatma with a grin.

Helen laughs "where did you get your sweet words like that?"

"It's honesty, greatma" he says and sits next to Helen. While Ethan keeps pointing at Madeline and Madeline does the same to her husband.

"Ready Max?" Grace signaling her brother.

Max gives his thumbs up behind the wall. "And... action!" Max shouts.

"One day, in a place not too far from here, live a happy family" Grace says in her perfect tone.

Meredith giggles next to her husband. "She is talented," she whispers.
