‘Tis The Season

Patty

With Nate and I making things official and our families knowing, Lucille and Mom conspired together. Why is everyone conspiring together?

It was also Christmas vacation, which meant doing all Christmas-related things. I helped the Grays decorate their tree, and Nate helped decorate ours.

Lucille and Mom baked cookies together and roped me into helping them. They made all kinds of cookies. I like cookies, but around this time, I’m sick of them. As they baked and I decorated, the garage door opened. Nate walked in, dirty from work. He popped his head into the kitchen.

/"Well, hello, Betty Crocker./" He grinned.

/"Hey, Grease Monkey./"

He laughed.

/"I’ll clean up and come help./" He walked into the side bathroom. The shower turned on, and I continued frosting cookies.

/"Hey, Lucille?/"

/"Yeah?/"
