Ginny's POV
We spent most of the day outside playing in the snow. Albus and James got me in the back with some snowballs, which led to a snowball fight.
Lily ended up hitting James in the face with a snowball, I wish that I had had my camera there because the look on James's face was just brilliant!
A couple hours later we went back inside, we were all soaked to the bone, cold and hungry!
After a nicely warming soup, hot coco and a couple drying charms they were all back outside with Harry while I got everything ready for when Ron and Hermione came over with Rose and Hugo to make ginger bread houses.
"Mom! Mom! You have to come and see our snow fort, it's really cool and it has two entrances and everything." James said bursting into the kitchen.
"Coming honey, just give me a second to put on my snow boots."
"Wow it looks great! Did Dad help you, or did you do all by your self?" I asked, taking a sleeping Lily out of Harry's arms.
"Nope, they did it all alone!" He said giving me a kiss on the cheek and smiling at me.
"That's right, we did it all by ourselves." Albus said grinning proudly.
"That's great guys, it's one of the best you've built yet!" I said studying the pretty big snow fort that stood before me with big pieces of ice as windows.
"Well I hate to be a party pooper, but Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione should be here any moment, and I would really like it if you guys could all be dressed in clean and dry clothed before they get here." I continued after I finished looking at it.
"But Mom…"
"No buts, you have been out here all day, now lets go get changed and then we can make ginger bread houses." I said heading back towards the house with a still sleeping Lily in my arms.
"Come on guys." I heard Harry call behind me as I walked up the stairs to get Lily out of her wet clothes.
"Mamma, is Hugo coming?" She asked in a sleepy voice.
"Yes he is." I said helping her into her teddy bear PJs.
"Do you think Mione will read me and Hugo a story?" Lily said her eyes lighting up.
"If you ask her I bet she will." I said smiling at her.
"Okay, I love you Mamma!" She said hugging me quickly and then running out of the room.
After hanging her dried clothes into her closet, I walked back to the kitchen to check on the pieces of ginger bread houses I was baking.
"They're here! They're here!" James yelled, running to the door, and out into the snow.
"Hey Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, what's up Hugo, Rose?" I heard him ask as I went over to the still open door.
"Hey James, did you have fun in the snow?"
"Yup, Al and I built the best snow fort ever!" James said.
"Hello Ron, why don't you come inside?" I asked looking up at the sky and watching the snow fall.
"Hey little sis how's it going?" Ron said hugging me.
"Fine, just a little bit tired Albus dragged me and Harry out of bed at around 7 this morning." I said hugging him back before turning to Hermione to give her a hug too.
"Well I hope you don't fall asleep in one of the candy bowls!" Ron said giving me an evil grin.
"I'm not that tired you git!" I said smacking him on the arm before leaving him to go talk to Harry.
"So how are you Hermione, I haven't seen you in over three weeks now." I said turning to her after I had gotten the cookie sheets with the pieces of the ginger bread houses on them.
"I've been fine, Ron's been busy working as always, we went to the Burrow a couple of days ago. Molly's already all excited about the family gets together on Christmas!" She said helping me lay out the ginger bread houses.
"James, Albus, Lily, Rose, Hugo you can start your ginger bread house now." I called up the stairs after me and Hermione has laid every thing out.
"Mom will you help me decorate my house?" Hugo said climbing in to his chair.
"You can start decorating and I'll help you later, okay?"
"Okay." Hugo said pulling a bowl full of sprinkles towards him.
"Hugo we have to set up the ginger bread houses first before you can decorate them." Hermione said.
15 minuets and 5 sticky kids later the houses were finally up and ready for decorating. And the kid started piling candy on them with much excitement!
"Hey honey time to go!" Ron said poking his head into the living room where I and Hermione were sitting and talking quietly as not to wake up a sleeping Hugo and Lily. They still had a little icing sugar on their faces, and had fallen asleep on Hermione's lap after she had finished reading them a story.
"Coming Ron." Hermione said, carefully putting Lily off her lap and taking Hugo into her arms.
After a quick backward glance at Lily, I quietly left the room to say goodbye.
"See you guys on the 25th!" Harry said giving everyone a last hug before putting his arm around my waist.
"Yup see you then mate!" Ron said taking a sleepy Rose out to the car were Hermione was already waiting.
"Well that was an eventful day, huh?" Harry said closing the door.
"Yes it was! Could you make sure the boys brush there teeth and put on their PJs while I put Lily to bed?" I asked him, after giving him a quick kiss on the nose.
"Sure."
"Thanks!" I said walking back into the living room to get Lily.
"Man am I ever going to be tired tomorrow when we get the Christmas Tree!" Harry sighed beside me as he laid down in bed some twenty minuets later.
"You'll be fine, we aren't leaving till 11 so you'll have plenty of time to sleep in." I said giving him a silly smile in the dark room before cuddling myself into my warm blankets.
I remember Harry putting an arm around my waist and pulling me close before softly whispering in my ear. "Night Ginny, love you!"
"I love you too!" I whispered back before falling into a much welcomed sleep!
