“SO THAT was the first time they’d gone to cut their own tree?” Deacon began to unpack the cookie cutters and frowned at Lang when he discovered the dinosaur hidden among them. “Really? You got a T. rex?”

“They didn’t have a triceratops, so that’s what I got,” Lang explained as he sidestepped Deacon’s playful slap to his thigh. “And yeah, that’s what Gayle said.”

“They were starting a tradition. Just like us. I told them about the ones we’ve already done, and Charlie thought we should maybe do a Christmas piñata. That would be cool.” Zig lugged in the tackle box where she stored craft supplies. “Are we doing the candy stuff too?”

“What candy stuff? And no on the piñata. You and Rome seem to think that kind of thing is a contact sport. One black eye and one almost-broken nose is more than enough.” Deacon dug through a paper bag left on the counter. “Okay, this looks like some leftovers from the gingerbread thing. What are we doing here?”

“You spray the metal cookie cutters and put mints in them and then bake them. They melt, and you poke a hole in them when they’re still hot so you can put a ribbon in them.” Zig took the bag from him. “They get all swirly and pretty. We saw it on a video.”

“They’re going to bring ants or roaches,” he protested, and Lang shrugged. “I mean, the salt dough is safe, but melted-down mints? On a tree? If we don’t get bugs, the mint’s going to make the cats crazy. Gray’s already an asshole about the ornaments.”

“Okay, so maybe we just eat them when we’re done, or use them to decorate cupcakes or something. I’ve got mini trees we can use. Those would be cool.” Lang stopped moving long enough to tilt his head back for a kiss, and Deacon complied easily and deepened the moment. “God, maybe we should have done this tomorrow and gone to bed early.”

“Hey, I’m on a time clock here,” Zig yelled from the table. “I’ve got to take pictures of everything we’re doing, and you guys are making goo-goo eyes at each other. I’m not having smoochy shots in my presentation.”

“So bossy,” Lang muttered against Deacon’s lips.

“Yeah, she takes after you,” he teased. Then he pinched Lang’s butt and moved away. “So kiddo, did the Sanchez girls like going up there to chop trees?”

“Think so. We left before they got theirs, but they were excited. I told them where the best ones were. I think their dad was going to get them a small one to put in their room, kinda like I have.” She lined up bottles of glitter and paints, ready for when the ornaments would be cool enough to paint. “And I don’t want to hang the candy ones. I just want to see if it works.”

“That I can do,” Deacon replied. “Here, we’ll make a mint T. rex and… let me see what else we’ve got. How about a cat?”

“We’ll have to make two cats or they’ll get jealous.
