Niko, Renata, Mira, and Kellan Decorate (#Christmas16 Day 4)

#Christmas16 Day 4
 
Mira Nicholas-Archer
*squeezing Kellan's hand as we walk down the hall toward gigantically fantastic Christmas tree that Niko and Kellan set up last month* It's about time our schedules cleared up, I've been waiting to decorate this tree for what feels like a lifetime. *turning the corner, I spot both of my parents waiting for us...my dad looking increasingly impatient at our tardiness and my mom nomming on chocolate covered pickles.* Really, Rennie?!

Kellan Archer *he chuckles at her comment to Renata* Not helping babe. *he squeezes her hand quickly before hugging Renata and shaking hands with Niko* Good evening. I see you've been busy gathering everything. *he looks at the mountain of boxes stacked in a far corner*

Niko Breed *He raises one eye brow at the question,* Do you not know we're dealing with son? My girls don't half ass something. They give it their all, and they don't cheat either. Like say using a chain saw to cut a tree down. *Renata shushes me to be quiet.*

Renata Breed ~winking at Mira over the pickle I place my hand on Niko's arm when he talks down to Kellan~ baby...actually Kellan this is only the decorations for the tree, the rest of the house has it's own boxes and they will be coming up in the next few days ~smiling wide at the frown on his face~ oh it will be fun, since you are off patrol for the next week on vaca you, me and Mira will have tons of fun decorating the whole house ~waving my hand towards the entry way and beyond, i move towards the first box and start to open them~ come on family lets get started...

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Giggling at the look on Kellan's face* Yeah, I may have neglected to tell you that tiny little detail. *leaning up to whisper into his ear* Don't worry, I'll make it worth your while... *wrapping my arm around his and pulling him toward the giant spool of christmas ribbon* Let's start with this.

Kellan Archer *he pinched her butt as she dragged him into complete chaos. He groaned as she grabbed the ribbon and rubbed his hands over his face* Yes Dear. *he smiled and followed her*

Niko Breed *Each one of them grabs a box except Rennie. He wont let her lift anything heavy. He tells her she is to direct them. Tell them where she wants things to be placed. He's about to agree with Kellan that there's a little too much. Maybe the boy has a point, but he wasn't going to let him know that. He sees the way he looks at Mouse and it warms his heart to know that he has her back. His mouse deserves to be loved like that. He turns to Rennie*OK baby what else would you like? Kellan can you put up the lighted garland along the doorways?

Renata Breed ~smiling I turn on the christmas music and wiggle as I point to where I want each ball and garland, I pick up one of the first ornaments that Mira had made, I wipe away a happy tear before anyone can see me~ Mouse hang this one to the right of the Santa...~turning I see Kellan stretching to place one of the mini trees over the window~ that looks perfect Kell

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Smiling as I take the hand print ornament and place it carefully on the tree* I hope you guys are going to make another one for my baby brother. *pulling the next ornament out of the box, a gummy bear, and placing it on the tree* You know what ornament we need to get for him? *laughing* A pickle.

Kellan Archer *he chuckled as he finished placing the decorations around the main room as directed. Mira and Niko had the tree just about done, at least in his opinion it looked done* anything else? *he asked as he looked at the pipes of empty boxes everywhere*

Niko Breed *Slapping Kellan on the back he stands back to take in everything. My woman knew how to decorate.* Job well done son. Just think you have this to look forward to every year. *He laughs as he hears him mumble under his breath.* Great job everyone. It all looks awesome.

Renata Breed ~fighting back a yawn I smile wide at everyone, so happy that we could do this all as a family, moving towards Niko I lean against him~ perfect baby, this just gets better every year, just think our little one will be with us next year...~smiling up at him I lean up and kiss him softly~ thank you my Mouse and Kell, its is perfect ~giggling as Niko sweeps me off my feet and moves towards the door~ just think tomorrow we can do the entry way and then move on to the dinning room...
