Eight-year-old Rose and six-year-old Hugo sat on barstools watching their mum as she mixed all the ingredients together for Christmas cookies; both clutching their favorite cookie cutters. In Rose’s right hand was an angel and, in her left, a reindeer while Hugo held onto a Santa one and a snowflake.
Once mixed, the dough found itself on a floured cutting board and Hermione rolled it flat with a rolling pin.
She showed both kids how to place their cookie cutters, but didn’t realize she needed help until they both demanded her assistance at the same time.
A call for Ron made their project into a family one; they worked together, cutting out the different shapes and placing them on cookie trays.
By the time they finished decorating the baked and cooled cookies, she was sure there was more frosting on the kids than there was on the actually cookies; Hugo’s mouth was stained blue from the food coloring and Rose had several different colors streaked across her face. Ron, too, had a suspicious amount of red frosting on his chin.
“Mummy,” Hugo said. “You have yellow frosting on your nose.”
Hermione was confused. She hadn’t been using the yellow frosting.
She looked at Ron and saw him fighting back laughter, the bowl of yellow frosting on the table in front of him.
Part of her wanted to get back at him and cover his face in blue frosting, but that would only encourage the kids. So instead, she laughed full heartedly and waited until the kids were lost in their own fits of giggles before shooting Ron a look that said ‘I’ll get you back.’
