N: Cute Christmas pics

M: Thanks. Yours too. Your siblings look just like you.

N: Yep. Darn cute, just like Nico.

N: |Nico sends picture of many shoe racks|

M; Include yourself for scale.

N: Σ(゚ロ、゚;)

M: Do you have a bus just for shoes

N: That's Nico's closet

M: So you're never home becasue your clothes and shoes take up your entire apartment.

N: Nico has a cozy sleeping nook with the most amazing view.

M: |sends room picture, large windows, bed opposite, Christmas tree, gas fire, Maki at piano|

N: That's a gorgeous view too (Nico means you).

M: (^ ^*) This room and the piano is the only thing I like about being here. My parents are never home.

N: You have your own bedroom Christmas tree. Decadent.

M: dia keeps putting a dent in the decorations.

N: !?

M: SHe rearranges the ones she can reach. And she doesn't like snowflake ones.

N: Cute.

M: Not when she leaves them on the floor and I step on them. Snowflakes are spiky *pain face*

N: So like Legos.

M: So like chunk 。゚(゚`⊿゜)゚。

N: You need to use non breakable ornaments. Rookie mistake.

M: Yeah

M: I guess I was always careful. Didn't want to get on Santa's Naughty List

N: Can't you use that argument on Dia?

M: She just says "Mama' like it's my fault.

N: Future lawyer.

M: My parents would love that ALMOST as much as they love future doctor.

N: Doesn't Dia get to be a silly kid for a decade or two?

M: "It's never too early to learn your responsibilities"

M: I"m quoting my mother.

N: ‧∘˳°∗˚(⁎›ˍູ‹) ∗.∘˚˳°

N: When Nico has children, they'll get to be kids and follow their dreams.

M: You want a family?

N: Duh. Of course, Nico is a Subaru minivan full of family vibes.

M: Yeah *chuckles* Dia took to you right off.

N: Smart girl (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

N: Nico loves being a big Sis. My sibs made everything better.

N: I had three reasons to get up and make breakfast and smiles, after Papa…

M: You must have been so brave.

N: ᕙ(͡°‿ ͡°)ᕗ Nico wants to see everyone smile, especially the people she loves.

M: (-_^)

N: Okay, pretty girl, you can be on Nico's list.

M: Naughty or nice

N: (∩⌣̀_⌣́)

N: Both?! Can it be both.

M: d(-_^)

M: Dia's grumpy today.

N: Poor baby.

M: Me or Dia?

N: Both.

M: (ó﹏ò。) She misses home.

M: Mama and Papa insisted we visit the hospital so they could show off their grandchild.

N: DIa didn't like it?

M: No. Too many people. Dia can be shy.

N: You always make her sound ready to charge right into things. Nico respects that.

M: SHe likes to

N: ?

M: Warm up.

N: Like stretching?

M: No. Like it has to be people she already knows.

N: oh

M: By three, she'll know every nurse's name.

N: Charming like her mama

M: Strictly trained in hospitality and etiquette like her mother.

N: Introvert like her mama?

M: (;¬_¬)

N: I bet your thinking face is adorable.

M: (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻ don't interrupt (;¬_¬)

N: |Selfie of Nico leaning forward, cute bunny pajama hoodie, chin in hand|

M: DIa's probably an extrovert. She loves being in groups, just groups of people she knows.

N: Center of attention.

M: Yeah.

N: Nico's like that. Give me a spotlight and an audience

M: And you thrive.

N: Thrive Entertain Heal Support Inspire ٩(✿′ᗜ‵✿)۶ Nico Nico Ni

M: Big goals for such a tiny elf

N: ha ha wait'll you see Nico onstage. You'll realize Nico's true impact.

M: Can't wait.

N: We're still on for Saturday? It might be too busy for Dia.

M: Grandparents are built in babysitters.

N: True. My mom would go nuts over a grandchild, especially one as cute as Dia, but Nico and Cccoro have been on the career woman path, not the dating one.

M: What about the other two?

N: Too young.

M: Oh right.

N: Nico wants to dance into the dating path.

N: With the right partner (゚▽^*)ノ⌒

M: ˚▱˚

N: you're silly.

M: (ⅈ▱ⅈ)

N: Nico has to sleep. Early rehearsal.

M: See you Saturday.

N: And in Nico's dreams.

M: (´~`) zzz

N: Good night, Maki. Say hi to Dia for me. See you soon.

M: G'night.

M: ( ˘ ³˘)

M: Until Saturday.

N: ─=≡Σ((( つ ◕o◕ )つ
