picnic under the tree

"Baby!" Zoe yelled.

Evan poked his head out of the kitchen and saw his wife sitting by the Christmas tree with both girls and a plate of sandwiches.

"Yes my angel?" Evan asked smiling at his family.

"We are having a picnic under the Christmas tree Daddy!" Mallory cheered.

"Pity tee!" Tia yelled. Evan smiled and sat beside Mallory and pulled her into his lap.

"We got grilled cheese!" Mallory whispered to her father.

"It looks really good Mal!" Evan said smiling.

"Dadada!!" Tia screeched reaching for her father.

Evan took Tia and she shoved a piece of grilled cheese in Evan's face. Zoe smiled at Tia and took a bite of her own grilled cheese. 

"Baby girl, turn on the tree." Evan said to Mallory. Mallory crawled behind the tree and plugged it in.

The Hansen's were surrounded by multicoloured lights and Tia smiled.

"Kiss-mas!" Tia babbled.

"Yeah baby you're right, Christmas." Evan smiled. Zoe grabbed Tia and kissed her small face.

"I love you Mommy and Daddy." Mallory said, her face lit up by the coloured Christmas lights.
