"Mommy! Mommy, wake up! Mommy, it's Christmas! Come on!" My little boy, Ryder, said as he jumped on top of me.

I sat up and saw Cal in the doorway, holding our youngest, Violet. She was smiling and giggling in his arms, and he was making small, goofy faces at her.

"Hey, y/n. Finally you're up."

"Oh hush."

"Mommy! Come on!" Ryder yelled as he pulled on my arm and hopped off the bed. His big brown eyes stared into mine. He had definitely gotten his fathers eyes.

I smiled at him, "I'm coming. Just give me a minute. Go downstairs with Daddy." He nodded vigorously and pulled Cal with him.

"C'mon, Daddy! Let's go get Alex up!" He beamed, voice filled with excitement.

Cal chuckled and went with him to Alex's room while I tugged on a pair of Batman sweatpants. Cal's large tee was now tied tightly to my waist using a hair tie, and exposing a little skin. I slid into a pair of faux Uggs and then pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I took my phone from the nightstand and met everyone downstairs.

"Mommy! Mommy! Daddy saw Santa last night! Him and Santa got us presents! He ate the cookies we made too!" Ryder squealed as soon as he saw me.

"Oh? You wanna see what Santa and Daddy got you?" I asked, matching his enthusiasm.

Calum looked up at me with a huge, adorable grin plastered across his face. I picked Ryder up and carried him over to where Cal, Vi, and Alex sat in a partial-circle around the tree.

I sat next to Cal and handed all three children a small wrapped box. As they tore through the wrapping paper, I took a few pictures of them, the tree, Cal and Vi, and the presents. I posted a few to Facebook, and then I heard the first yell of joy.

"Oh my god! Is this for real?!" Alex asked as he pulled out the iPhone's box.

"Well, you are holding it." I shrugged.

He lunged at both me and Cal and wrapped his arms around us. "Thank you guys sooooo much! I can't believe- thank you!"

"I better not catch you sending any...inappropriate pictures to your 14 year old girlfriend, got it?" Cal warned, rocking Vi slightly.

"Why would I do something like that?" Alex asked as he ripped open the case.

Meanwhile, Ryder was having a hard time trying to figure out how to get the tape off of the case of his tablet.

"Need some help?" Cal offered.

Ryder nodded and Cal handed me Violet. I helped her unwrap the multiple stuffed animals while Calum assisted Ryder in opening his presents.

Alex had torn through his gifts though. Many band tees and CDs we're scattered on the floor around him. I set Vi gently on the blanket on the ground, putting a few of her stuffed animals around her. I took a few more pictures after they had all finished opening everything up, and then Cal asked for Alex and Ryder to take their new toys and clothes up to their rooms, and then asked if they would also take Vi's upstairs as well. They reluctantly did so and then I finally got to talk to Cal briefly.

"Hey babe." I mumbled as I came up behind him in the kitchen. He was cooking pancakes.

"Ah, good morning, my love. Merry Christmas." He said, turning around and kissing my temple.

"Merry Christmas. When is everyone coming over?" I nuzzled my head into his chest and tightly wrapped my arms around him.

He mimicked my action with his arms, "Four thirty. Don't get too excited over it, though, babe. It's okay. I'm going to make breakfast, you go ahead and get the kids. After that, I want you to take a shower and just relax. Then we'll get the kids ready and by then, the guys and everyone else will be here too."
