Kayla giggled as Aaron got her into her snowsuit. Aaron smiled.

"What's got you so giggly, Bunny?" he asked.

"Snow!" Kayla shouted. The little girl loved the winter.

Aaron laughed. "That's right, there is snow outside and you, Jack and Henry get to play in it while Mommy and Daddy help the others find a tree."

"How many trees, Daddy?" Kayla asked.

Aaron smiled. "Just one, Bunny. Everyone's coming here for Christmas so we're getting one big tree that everyone will decorate."

"Angel?" Kayla asked.

Aaron helped Kayla stand up. "Yup, you get to put the angel on this year." he pulled his own jacket and gloves on. "Now, let's go see if Mommy and Jack are ready."

"David Rossi! Stop trying to attack Sean with the axe!"

Emily's voice boomed across the tree field and all eyes turned to see Dave holding the axe for the tree as he ran after Sean, who was laughing.

"He threw a snow ball at me!" Dave shouted back.

"So did Jack but you're not attacking him." Derek pointed out.

"Jack doesn't know there's a chance his godfather might come after him." Reid said. "Sean knows Dave will have no problems coming at him."

Aaron sighed. "Both of you get back here now! Or we're leaving you here!"

Kayla pulled on Aaron's scarf. "No yell, Daddy."

Aaron kissed Kayla's head. "Sorry Bunny but your uncle and godfather are acting like kids."

Kayla glared the two in mention. "Bad Uncle Sean! Bad Uncle Dave! Behave!"

The rest of the adults and Jack laughed as the two men deflated, having been scolded by Kayla. She was like her father, could make anyone feel bad with the smallest amount of words and the right tone.

JJ, who'd been off looking for the perfect tree, rejoined them and glared at her husband. "I thought we had this talk last night?"

Dave went to open his mouth but Jack, who was in Derek's arms, clamped a hand over his godfather's mouth.

"No, Uncle Dave." Jack said.

Everyone started laughing again.

Getting her breath back, Austin looked at JJ. "Did you find a tree?"

JJ nodded. "I think so but we need kid approval." she gave Dave a look. "And by that I mean the ones who are actually kids."

Derek and Aaron set Jack and Kayla down and with Austin, who was holding Henry, behind them, the two followed JJ to the tree she'd found. The rest of the adults followed along behind them. JJ stopped in front of a large, lush tree that had Jack and Kayla looking up at it in wonder.

"I think we found our tree." Garcia said, laughing at the looks on the kids faces.

Aaron snatched the axe from Dave and looked at Jack and Kayla. "Alright, why don't you two teach Henry how to make a snow angel while we cut the tree down?"

"Yeah!" Jack and Kayla shouted.

Austin, with a nod from JJ, handed Henry to Jack and the three kids moved away from the tree, over to a nice patch of snow where they could make snow angels. The adults smiled at them before Aaron, with Derek, Sean and Dave's help, starting cutting down the tree.

The Christmas tree stood proud in the corner of Emily and Aaron's living room. It was covered in decorations from each part of the family along with new ones for each of the kids. The only thing left was to place the angel on the top but when Aaron turned to get Kayla, the sight that greeted the adults had them smiling.

The three children were curled up by the fire place, Jack and Kayla on either side of Henry, curled towards him, Jack's giraffe and Kayla's otter barriers on either side of Henry's small body, almost holding him in place between his older cousins.

"I think the angel can wait until tomorrow." Emily said, stepping up next to Aaron.

Aaron nodded. "Yeah, I think you're right."

Dimming the lights, the adults moved to the dining room to continue talking so they wouldn't disturb the kids.

Okay, bit of a rough ending but if you ask me, it came out pretty good. More trouble with Dave and Sean, of course. Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
