21. Snowman - No pairing

It was a few days before Christmas and the team had decided to have an earlier get together this year, as some of them were traveling out of state for family celebrations.

"Dad, can Henry and I go play outside?" Jack asked Hotch, full pouty lips and puppy-dog eyes in effect. Henry was doing the same to JJ, who was sitting on the other side of Hotch.

Hotch looked from Jack to the window, seeing the snowfall was light. "If you can find someone to watch the both you," he answered. JJ nodded, telling Henry the same thing.

Jack frowned. "Why can't you come outside?"

"Uncle Dave and I are going to start dinner soon, so I'm going to be needed in here, buddy," he explained.

"I'll do it," Garcia offered with a smile, standing from her seat next to Spencer. "Reid will come with me too!"

"I will?" he asked, his voice squeaking slightly as he looked up at her.

"See!" Garcia smirked and grabbed Spencer's hand, pulling him towards the backdoor. "Come on, boys!"

Jack and Henry smiled, running after the two.

It was almost an hour later when everyone else was setting everything for dinner.

"We should probably get the four of them back inside," JJ said, looking over to Hotch.

"We should. Give them time to heat up and get ready for dinner."

"Before we do that, you guys need to see this," Emily said from her place in front of the window. The team curiously walked over and stood around her, all making sure that they could see out the window.

What they saw made them grin.

Garcia, Spencer, Jack, and Henry were finishing up 10 snowpeople. There were ones for each member of the team, they had used different things to give them some sort of a sign as to who they were, along with two tiny ones for Jack and Henry. Two more represented Beth and Will.

"Someone get a camera," JJ ordered.

"Got it!" Derek said pulling his phone out.

"Now get them back inside!" Rossi ordered. "Dinner's ready!" he announced, making his way back to the kitchen.

Derek grinned, heading towards the back door.

The rest of the team stood smiling, glancing out the window.
