Taylor pulled the Explorer in the drive, dropping off everyone and backing out into the street as the guys started up the snowblower and cleared the driveway and walk. The girls headed into the house, "Mom, Dad we're back." Jessy called out. "Good, how did it go." Diana asked. "Everything, no problems." Jessy said. "We had a blast. I love having little sisters to shop for, way cool." Monica said. "I've never known a big family before, I had so much fun having so many people to care about." Chele said. "Mom what is it? Somethings wrong." Jessy asked. "Oh we're having the family over in three hours and there's just so much to do." Diana said. "Tell us what needs doing and we'll all pitch in." Jessy said and Chele and Monica agreed. "The place needs a good dusting." she said and Chele said she was a neat freak especially in someone else's place and she got to work. "The presents need wrapping for tonight's gift exchange, they're on my bed." she said and Monica headed up. "Looks like you're as stuck as I am feeding them. Jessy I normally bake a couple of turkeys but they're in the freezer still. I don't know what to do." Diana said. "Mom how many are coming?" Jessy asked. "With this weather 25-50. Walker said just order pizza and not worry about it." Diana said. "I can tell that doesn't make you happy Mom. What do you want?" Jessy ask. "I'd like a buffet meal like every other year Jessy but there's only three hours." Diana said as Jessy started searching the fridge, freezer, cupboards. "Here's what I need besides beverages." Jessy said and Tay and Ike were on their way. Jessy was like a whirlwind, convincing everyone who walked by to help. Jessy had both ovens and the stove top filled and about an hour later even Mom believed they could do this. Ike and Tay returned with Jessy's list completed and she started turning out platter after platter of munchies. "Jessy you're a Godsend baby. I had given up, thank you." Mom said. "Oh stop yapping and get busy or we won't get done." Jessy teased as she hugged her. The two worked side by side until it was finally done. "We did it with time to get dressed. Bless you baby." Diana said as she showed Jessy to her room and the bathroom across the hall before she headed up to get dressed. Jessy unpacked selecting her Christmas sweater and black velour pants, a change of underclothes and she headed to shower. "Hun you almost ready." Zac asked rapping on the door. "Yeah, just got to clean up." Jessy answered opening the door and returned to wiping things down. "Take these back to my room, while I run this to the laundry." Jessy asked and they met back in the hallway. "You look pooped already." Zac said wrapping his arms around her and kissing her tenderly. "I'll be okay, see my happy face. Let's go." Jessy said with a big smile and he led her out to meet his family. "There's my special angel." Diana said. "Oh Mom, I love you too." Jessy said hugging her before returning to Zac to be introduced to his family. "You guys are in for a real treat this year. She is not just my wife's special angel, she sings like one. Sweetie will you sing for us." Walker asked. "Daddy you're such a sweet talker. How can I say no." Jessy said as her sisters joined her and they sang a medley of Christmas Carols before being joined by the guys. The last of the guests left close to 11pm and as soon as the kids were in bed they started the task of getting ready for the next day. Presents and wrapping paper went into the girls room while everyone helped clean up. Mom and Dad emptied the office closet of presents and placed them under the tree as soon as the room was cleaned. "We can manage the rest. Why don't you two go to bed." Isaac said. And the six finished the wrapping and getting everything under the tree as they sang and joked. The guys went first wrapping their presents for the girls. "Ooooh I got a big one." Monica said. "Well good things come in little packages. Look at Jessy." Chele said. "I ain't little you, you.... oh you know who you are." Jessy fumed. "I'm your big sister Little, I said Little sister." Chele teased. "Wait, I'm a good thing then. I'm not going to argue with that." Jessy said, adding, "You guys got a problem with me getting into my jammers?" "Nah we'll just keep reminding ourselves you're our sister." Taylor said. "Not me, I'm not thinking of her as a sister." Zac said turning red when he realized he said it aloud. "I should hope not. So can you handle me in my pj's hun." Jessy asked. "Sure, go change." Zac said. "Me too. I'm coming Sis" Chele said and the girls all changed into their jammers while the guys made hot chocolate. They sat by the tree enjoying the lights, everyone sharing their favorite Christmas, until Jessy nodded off. The rest continued talking until Chele fell asleep in Taylor's arms. Isaac and Monica turned down the bed as Zac and Tay carried the girls to bed. "Night guys and Merry Christmas." Monica said as Zac and Tay headed upstairs. She and Isaac cleaned up, turned off the tree, noticing the snow starting to come down. Isaac walked her to her room before heading up himself.
