"Merry Christmas guys!" said Rory after answering the door, ushering in Colin and Finn. With plenty of work, her and Logan had finished up the Christmas decorations in time knowing their guests were coming in the night before Christmas Eve. "As always, make yourself at home and the guest room is prepared already, clean sheets and all."

"Unless that flight was longer than I thought, it's not Christmas?" said Finn sounding a little confused and maybe too sober, which Rory couldn't help but find amusing. "Or did I fall asleep too long and we ended up in another dimension?" He laughs at his joke.

"It's just what people say this time of year." said Rory, realizing she wasn't entirely sure, but had wanted to say it when she opened the door. She shrugs figuring it doesn't really matter. "So fine, happy holidays then!"

"This place definitely looks very festive." said Colin, helping Finn sit their suitcases by the stairs figuring they could take them up in a bit. He looks around at what he figures is a lot of Rory's hard work. "Thanks for the invite." He puts emphasis on the thanks as it would have just been him and Finn this year if not.

"Yes, Rory, my love, nice to have a place to go this year." said Finn, giving Rory's hand an exaggerated kiss. "Wow, I don't think any of our homes looked this festive or fun as kids. It's perfect."

"That's not all. There's cookies in the kitchen as we got an early start on them." said Rory, laughing since Logan hadn't read the recipe correctly and had managed to triple the recipe. Instead of having three dozen cookies, now they had managed to get ten dozen. "There's more than enough for everyone after we get done icing them tomorrow, though there's enough to spare before then."

"Should I dare ask what other festivities there will be?" asked Finn as the group moved into the kitchen. "You've been domesticated!" he said towards Logan.

"Oh shut up." said Logan, smiling a little. "So get here safely?"

"Coffee anyone?" asked Rory, pouring herself a cup and offering the pot around. "And you'll find out what other weird traditions we have or are possibly making up - you can find out which - tomorrow." She laughs thinking the boys will never guess most are from her childhood.

"Flight was good...and no, honestly as much as younger me would kick my butt, I'm falling asleep standing up." said Colin, stretching and yawning. "I think we'll head upstairs. I'm up for surprises. Thanks again for having us." He snatches up a couple of the cookies before heading towards the stairs with Finn.

"It's our pleasure." said Logan, watching the boys leave. "Wonder how long it will take them to notice we put a Christmas tree in the guest room?"

"With Finn, maybe by the time they leave. Colin will probably notice in the morning as he likely stumbles into the tree as it didn't leave a ton of walking room." said Rory, laughing and sipping at her coffee. "Luckily we got the flour catastrophe cleaned up before they arrived."

"Not my fault you can't catch, Ace!" said Logan laughing.

"Toss me the flour wasn't meant literally." said Rory a bit defensively, but giggling. "And I never said I was good at playing catch...or sports in general. And being an elephant is not helping."

"You look as beautiful as ever." said Logan, wrapping his arms around his wife. He knew she was feeling low with her weight and what had to be annoyance of pregnancy. "And soon enough they will be here, likely crying and screaming and needing our attention. Hey much like vacationing with Finn."

"Okay too true. I already heard about his naked phases and that's enough to know." said Rory, bursting out in laughter thinking about it. "I do think I'm going to head up and turn in though. I'm beat."

"I'll meet you there in a few minutes. I'll try finish cleaning up in the kitchen." said Logan, grabbing a dish cloth. "Love you Ace." He gives her a hug before returning to cleaning up, feeling so very normal doing so.

"Love you too Huntzberger." said Rory giving Logan a quick kiss before heading upstairs and getting ready for bed. She takes a peek at the nursery her and Logan also recently finished getting fully ready before heading to bed. She falls asleep before Logan makes it upstairs, thinking about the holiday and how nice it felt to have so many loves ones around and wondering what interesting things Christmas Eve could bring.
