Niels smiled, looking at the people sitting on the couch. Almost all of his family was there for Christmas, and he enjoyed it deeply. It had been a while since they'd had a Christmas like this, from before Emi ws born, but it felt good to have it again, at least this year.
Earlier that day they had received a call from his dad and mother-in-law, announcing they'd make a quick trip accross the Atlantic to celebrate Christmas with them. That had sparked a quick response in Amanda, who had made him a grocery list, quickly sending him out to the store. When Niels playfully remarked it could takesome time, she gave him a strict look, telling him to hurry up and get everything. Niels barely had time to change, with Amanda already rushing around, cleaning and taking care of Angelo, who decided to be extremely cranky. When Niels returned, he and Amanda quickly started cooking, together. They managed to get the courses prepared. After that, Amanda dashed off to clean more. This all caused Emi to enter the room, looking at him with a questioning face: "Why is mummy c'weaning?" Niels grinned at her, telling her she'd soon see, but that she had to be patient. Having heard that, Emi went off, playing with her rabbit while Amanda took care of Angelo. She had a tough time calming him down at first, but eventually she succeeded. A little later, Rico and Ceci arrived, taking care of Emi. After them came Niels' sisters, Isa and Zelda. An hour later, the others arrived. Niels and Amanda smiled as they greeted them, being happy they were here. Emi was excited, jumping up and down when she saw the presents they had brought for her. She jumped and hugged her grandparents, as well as her aunts and uncle, quickly dragging Aubrey with her to see her "bunny wabbit". The house was crowded, the atmosphere was right, they could really start celebrating this year's Christmas
