Winter comes, Dexter and his wife and three children are on their way to the house where Hugo's family is gathered. Earlier this winter, they would gather after these two years they were all not doing that annual event. Actually they will gather when Christmas Eve arrives, only some of them can not. Finally the schedule was put forward. The wind was blowing hard, the sun was starting to be seen at 10.
Soon they arrive in front of a large house owned by Dexter's grandfather, who is currently in residence by his parents. The large house has a large courtyard overgrown with green grass and surrounded by several types of ornamental trees.
Archer and Amber got out of the car wearing thick coats. A servant approached them and brought their belongings into the house. They'll stay there for a few days.
"Honey. Come on.." get Dexter to open the car door. Megan just finished weaning Arthur. Dexter then takes over Arthur from Megan's arms. They enter the house and are greeted by Dexter's parents. Dexter's sister was there with her husband.
"Dad. mom.." said Dexter hugging Elrick and Clarence alternately.
"Grandpa misses you" said Elrick, hugging the twins. He then took his smallest grandson.
"Hi sister-in-law, how are you," concluded Briana Dexter's sister who is currently pregnant hugging Megan.
"We're good" Megan replied.
"Where's Aurora?" ask Megan.
"With the waiter behind the house to feed the fish" Briana said.
"Let's sit down, the others haven't come yet" asked Elrick, who was holding Arthur. Elrick's two sisters, Jack and Erick's mother, are on their way. This afternoon they will have lunch in the yard and have a barbeque party. A few servants were preparing everything in the side courtyard of the spacious Elrick house. Since it was the first day of winter and it had not yet snowed, they were able to enjoy lunch outside.

"Huahhhh." a strong cry made the parents shocked. The voice was from Alice Baldemar, daughter of Jack Baldemar and Vivian. He was no different from Arthur. Only 1 month more different. Alice has a twin brother named Aiden.
"What happened, why did Alice cry?" jack asked his daughter who was crying.
"Alice accidentally fell into Jack's arms" replied Amber, who was calming Alice down. The little boy then ran with unbalanced footsteps, several times he fell. Little Alice was looking for her grandfather.
"Oh my goodness, my grandson fell down." said Max Jack's father holding his grandson.
"Sshh. cakit.." said Alice pointing at her knee. Max then blows Alice's sore knee.
"Have... does it still hurt?" ask Max. Alice shakes. Max then holds Alice in the same hipseat as Andrew who is holding his grandson Gabriel Rivers. Gabriel is the son of Erick and Beatrix.
"Alice is very spoiled with Max" said Anne Jack's mother cut the watermelon fruit.
"Just like you used to be with grandfather, even until you grew up" said Anne's twin sister Isabelle. Both then laughed.
"Aunty... Arthur pup.." said Aurora strongly. Arthur then cries out of shame, he will be embarrassed if caught being pup, let alone said repeatedly. Archer tried to silence his sister. It seemed like they could not talk casually with the others. There are always children who bother their parents.
"I'll see Arthur first" Megan told the others.
"No need baby, let me be" Dexter said, holding Megan's footsteps. The woman then nodded.
