Both kids were giggling while they make their way to the living room, Carmilla was reading on the couch while Laura was folding the laundry next to her, Alice and Jaime sat in the middle of the two of them, Alice looked between Laura and Carmilla.
“What’s up, Pumpkin?” Carmilla asked.
“Are we going?”
“Are we going where?” Laura asked as a follow up question.
“To get our Christmas tree!”
“Oh. Wow the day kind of went past us, didn’t it, Carm?”
“Yeah it did.” Carmilla closed her book and got up “well let's get our christmas tree!”
“Yay!” Her two children screamed, jumping off the couch and running to their rooms to bundle up.
Laura finishes the last of the laundry and leave the clothes in each room and change into something a little more warm, once everyone was bundle up they all gathered by the door. Laura was wearing a red sweater while Carmilla wear a red and black one seconds later the kids were running towards the two of them, clearly excited. They were wearing their christmas sweaters that had written Santa’s helpers on them.
“Everyone ready?” The kids nodded and get out of the apartment.
“Hold hands” Laura shouted, she felt Carmilla's hand and smiled.
They walked a few block blocks down, back to the hardware store. The owner had a big backyard fill of christmas trees, Laura and Carmilla let the kids wander around to find the tree they wanted.
“Stay together!” Carmilla shouted after them.
They watched as their children ran off to look through the last rows of trees, while the two of them walked around holding hands and looking at the trees. What felt like hours later, they finally found the tree they wanted, a employe took it off it stake and wrapped it up for them. Laura went to pay and Carmilla grabbed the tree and swung it over her shoulder, and headed back home.

“Mama. Mommy! It's Christmas!” Both kids said while jumping on the bed.
“Merry Christmas, kids” Laura said while hugging her kids, “Carm, wake up. It's Christmas”
"Christmas, happy" Carmilla said, still asleep.
