Hannah sat in front of the Christmas tree, talking sweetly to her daughter, Alice, who was seated in her lap. The two-year-old giggled, her soft blue eyes lighting up, scanning the little pretty lights and round ornaments on the tree.
When Alice crawled around the carpet, she came upon a small, soft pink box with a small cursive A imprinted on it. She gurgled and bounced on the carpet, wanting her mom to come over to her. Instead, Neville crouched next to his daughter.
"Look at that, what is that?" Neville said in a baby voice, making his daughter giggle. She clapped her hands and gurgled, trying to grasp the little pink velvet box. Her dad helped her open the box, and inside was a ornament.
The ornament was a pair of pink ballet shoes, just for her. She toddler smiled cheerfully and laughed in delight.
"That's for you, Alice." Neville smiled and hung the ornament on a low branch on the tree, letting his daughter look at it. Just then, Hannah pressed the tip of her wand to the ornament, and the tiny pieces glitter on the ornament sparkled silver. Alice was surprised, and so was Neville. Then, it started playing the song 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy'.
"Just for you," Hannah told her daughter, sitting her on her lap and giving her a kiss.
