It had finally snowed enough for Christine to go play in the snow. She along with Max, Gracie and Booth had been playing outside for over an hour. Brennan had taken pictures of snow angels and of the construction of their snowman family and headed inside. Parker had made his way over just as Booth was getting the sled out and they had taken turns pulling the younger Booths around the front and back yards.

"Thanks for coming over Parks, I'm sure they enjoyed playing with their big brother. I enjoyed the help with the sled rides. I'm not as young as I used to be. Don't tell Bones I said that."

Parker laughed, "I won't tell her. You're welcome I finished shoveling mom's parking spot and our sidewalk so she can get to her car in the morning and grabbed my stuff and came over. Do you think Bones minds if I stay until I have to go to Florida? I know was supposed to start staying next week…"

"Bones wouldn't care if you moved in…"

"I wouldn't mind that, your house is closer to school…"

"Thanks for bringing your old sled over. With the two of us each having a sled it wase it more fun for them."

'You're welcome, I saw it when I was helping mom get the decorations out of the storage unit and thought they'd like a wooden sled. Mom doesn't care that I brought it over. She said you bought it for me anyway…."

"Yeah, and every time it'd snow enough to use it I'd go over to your moms and we'd go down the hill behind the condo…"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that hill. The condo was a lot more fun than the apartment we have now. The condo had that huge playground too. Mom saved most of my toys, I'm going to give Max my two train sets since Pops gave them to me…"

"He would love them if you're sure your mom doesn't mind you giving them to him…"

"She doesn't, she's going to move back to England after I graduate this year…"

"Really?"

"Yep. Same job as before, just now she can devote herself fully to it since I'll be at Georgetown…"

"Parker…"

"Daddy I'm cold…"

"Me too…"

"Then let's go inside… Mommy is making taco soup…"

"Yummy!"

The kids and Parker headed inside while Booth put the sleds away.

Brennan met them at the door, "did you all have fun playing in the snow?"

"Yeah. Parker brought over his wooden sled!"

"That was nice of him. Let's get your coats and things off then you can go put on the new Christmas pajamas and socks I put on your beds. When you're done changing clothes, the soup will be done." Brennan started unzipping Max's coat. Parker did the same for Gracie.

"Parker, you have new pajamas and socks on your bed too."

"Thanks, Bones."

A half hour later the six Booths were dressed in their new Christmas pajamas eating taco soup listening to the younger Booths decide what game Parker was going to play with them after lunch.
