Part 3

From our Family to Yours

It's another winter season where the Hizuri house emanates warm and fluffiness with their growing family. Currently, the head of the Takarada household is fussing over with his godson as they prepare for the huge party, for both the Takarada princess and the Eternal Butterfly's special day.

Good thing, that the Hizuri kids are keeping the two ladies busy. In the past, it was Kyoko and Maria who organizes and facilitate the 'happy grateful' parties personally, but after Kyoko have given birth to her twins and later on had her second son, she can no longer help Maria arrange their parties. But Kuon Hizuri, her ever loving fairy king is to the rescue with his trusty godfather keeping the happy grateful tradition alive, and making it grander.

Since three years ago, the party came with a fun theme, which was proposed by the ever eccentric cosplay loving love-mon, who this year suggested to wear matching pajamas.

And currently, with the party happily on going, celebrating Maria's birthday for the Christmas eve, the now seventeen years old opening presents with her favorite niece and two younger nephews chewing the wrappers.

It was an adorable sight and Yashiro could not help take plenty of pictures. Of course with Lory helping organize the party includes the whole LME employees, the power couple's acting colleagues and their closest friends. An authorized journalist is also present to help publish online their tradition.

Kuon and Kyoko wore a matching red Mr. and Mrs. Santa onesies while their little ones rocked the comfy reindeer overalls that the youngest loved, Yashiro on the other hand has his elf outfit complete with the red and white stripped pointy socks, which still matched the family's theme. Kuu, Julie and even Saena who was roped to join was wearing Santa outfit, Julie wanting poke fun at her in-law handed a Grinch onesies, the poor lawyer was oblivious about the character and still wore the onesies.

With midnight closing in, the Hizuri babies were all fast asleep in their mom and dad's arms with ear mufflers, but despite the dozing babies the party was just starting since they were about to celebrate the 'Eternal Butterfly's' birthday. With the countdown Yashiro wheeled out the giant cake for his charge.

With the lights turned off, and only the cake candle illuminating the banquet hall everyone started to sing happy birthday, Kyoko with a soft smile snuggled her second and third son on her chest.

"You didn't have to!" Kyoko whispered to her grinning husband- Kuon seemed to be proud of his handy work.

Shaking his head, "From all the sacrifices and happiness you gave me over the years-" Adjusting the sleeping Eldest son in his arms, "How can I not thank you, besides from the happiness you gave me, these did not even make a dent!" He chuckled.

Kyoko giggled and blew the candle, as usual Yashiro frolicked snapping pictures in every angle, Julie, Kuu and Saena the grand parents with Lory offered to take the babies while the couple take a step in the center and share a dance.

It was also convenient that the father of the children as well as the grandfather thought of bringing a huge comfy bean bed by the fireplace for the kids to sleep. Plenty of guests' hearts were stolen that Christmas morning watching the little angels fly around their dream land.

And since the festivities and celebration is still starting, Lory called for his assistant to bring out the presents and prizes for the games Kuon and Kuu prepared for the guests, it was hilarious when Kuon was dragged into playing with everyone.

Kuu laughed handing his son an eggplant tied to a string, "Now tie this to your waist." while Koga as well Kijima reduced to fits, "Remember this was your idea." Kuu reminded. Good thing Kyoko was sitting down since her sides were hurting from the abuse of laughter.

The seven men who took part of the game thrusted their hips doing their best that the eggplant pushes the cup back to the starting line.

Surprisingly Kuon won and everyone was in stiches after Saena's comment, "It's no surprise, that you already have three spawns. That hip work do wonders." The woman leaned back to her seat, legs crossed, holding her martini glass; in her glorious furry green onesie bottoms and Santa coat.

Julie choked and coughed from all the laughter with that comment, "Can't wait for the fouth baby~" Teased by Chiori causing poor Kyoko to imitate the reddest Christmas ball decorated around the garlands and tree.

"I am not going to babysit again!" Kanae glared causing the other and new Love Me girls to sympathize after one of the hide-and-seek insident with the middle child causing the whole LME building to be flipped upside-down.

As the festivities and games continued, Kuon requested the attending photographer to take his family's picture by the fireplace. With their three little reindeers- adorably sleeping away all the celebration, sharing the huge beanbag; Kuon and Kyoko closely cuddled behind with their respective parents on each side and Yashiro, Lory, Maria and Kuoki at the back joining.

With Yashiro's quick handy work, the man quickly made a Holiday themed family picture to be used as a Christmas card. Kuon then immediately uploaded with a single line caption, "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from my family to yours."
