[[This is aimed at the Logan and Dresden-Eames families, however if anyone feels inclined to crash the not-party, feel free to.]]While Mike puttered around on the roof getting things ready for the small barbecue they had planned for that afternoon, Millie chased Isabel through the apartment

Alex knocked on the door and looked down to the toddler standing between herself and David- holding both their hands tightly. Alex was wearing a simple skirt and shirt, with knee high boots.

"Is there gonna be food?" David asked.
"Probably," she smirked. They waited as patiently as they could for someone to answer the door.

"I wanna get it!" Isabel yelled, heading for the door.
"Hold your horses," Millie said with a smirk, knowing who was likely on the other side. "Can you ask who's there?"

"WHO'S THERE?" Isabel demanded, banging the door with her hand for emphasis.

Ellie's eyes burst open at the sound of Isabel banging on the door and yelling. She squealed and looked up at her parents.

"It's Auntie Alex," Alex replied. "And David, and Ellie."

[nypd_millie_viz]

Isabel's own eyes went wide. "ANNIE ALEX!" She looked at her mother. "Annie Alex is here! An' Baby Ellie!" She tried to get the door unlocked, to no avail. "Mami, doooo it," she said, excitedly.

Millie laughed and unlocked the door, then opened it. Isabel ran forward "HI!"

[detalex_eames]

David laughed at the way Isabel ran forward as Ellie bounced on the spot.

"Hi," Alex smiled. "Surprise!"

Ellie grinned at Isabel, happy to see her.

[nypd_millie_viz]

Isa shrieked. "Surprise!" She patted Alex, then hugged Ellie. "Annie Alex, Baby Ellie!"

[detalex_eames]

Alex patted her back with a smirk. Ellie bounced continously on the spot when Isabel hugged her- she then giggled and babbled at her.

"And David," she pointed to him. "Do you remember him?"
"No, I have a very forgetful face," he commented with a laugh.

[nypd_millie_viz]

Isabel looked up at David with a grin. "Yeahh, I 'memmer. Hi, Daybid-not-my-uncle!"

Millie snorted. "Hey, guys."

[detalex_eames]

David grinned back. "Hi, you look ready to swim."

"Hey, Millie," Alex smiled, taking a step forward. "How're you?"

[nypd_millie_viz]

"I am!" Isabel did a little bounce.

Millie smiled back at Alex. "I'm pretty good."

[detalex_eames]

"Great," David grinned. "Ellie is ready to 'swim', too."

Alex smiled. "That's good." She then looked down at Ellie and tried to encourage her to walk into the apartment.

[nypd_millie_viz]

Isabel smiled. "Yay, we will swim!" She looked over at Ellie and held out a hand. "Let's go, Ellie!"

[detalex_eames]

Ellie, with Alex and David, moved to follow Isabel. She giggled excitedly as she did so, her little legs not able to keep up with her eagerness to move.

[nypd_millie_viz]

"You go with me?" Isabel kept her hand out, wondering if Ellie would hold her hand like her cousin Daisy did when they would run off to go in the pool or play with toys.

[detalex_eames]

"She thinks she'll fall over," Alex explained when Ellie didn't hold onto Isabel's hand straight away. Instead Ellie lowered herself to the ground, causing her parents to drop slightly, and started crawling after Isabel instead.

[nypd_millie_viz]

Isabel giggled and got on her knees, mimicking Ellie, crawling toward the spare room, which led to the stair case that in turn led to the roof.

"Wait a minute, Isabel," Millie said. "Ellie's probably gonna need help getting up the stairs."
"I can help," Isabel said.
"No, you let Auntie Alex or David do the helping."
