Snow felt herself blushing. She kissed Amanda more deeply, moaning at the feeling of Amanda’s tongue in her mouth.

“I love you,” Snow mumbled into the kiss.

“I love you too.” Amanda kissed Snow again, sending pleasurable shivers all through her body.

The door burst open. “Mom, gross! Stop it, I want to open presents!”

Snow chuckled as she pulled back. “Alright, Bluebell, I’m coming.”

She and Amanda pulled on robes and followed Bluebell through to the Christmas tree, which had stacks of presents underneath it.

Snow had been worried about Bluebell at first, moving into Amanda’s big house surrounded by the Christmas tree farm, but Bluebell had taken to it like a fish to water. She loved living here almost as much as Snow did. They still saw Daisy regularly, who was coming over later that morning.

“Just a couple gifts for now, kiddo. Your grandmother will be here soon,” Snow said as she sat near the tree. Bluebell looked disappointed for the briefest moment before grabbing a few presents with her name on them and tearing into the first one.

“I still say you spoil her,” Snow told Amanda as Bluebell unwrapped a new iPhone.

“She deserves it. You both do.”

Their Christmas card business was booming, as it had been for the last three years. Amanda’s frequent appearances in Christmas commercials helped to boost their sales.

Before Bluebell could open anything else, the doorbell rang. Snow answered the door, letting Daisy in along with a flurry of snow.

“Where’s my favorite girl?”

Bluebell shrieked in delight and flung herself into Daisy’s arms. “Can we open the rest of the presents now?”

Daisy chuckled. “If it’s okay with your moms.”

Bluebell turned to Snow and Amanda. “Can we, please?”

“Of course, honey.” Amanda kissed Bluebell on the forehead. “You go ahead and start opening.”

The three adults sat on chairs while Bluebell handed them presents with their names on the wrapping before starting in on hers.

Bluebell exclaimed in delight over the microscope she’d gotten from Amanda and Snow.

Snow opened Amanda’s gift, which was a beautifully carved silver snowflake necklace with what looked like a diamond in the middle.

“It’s beautiful,” she whispered.

“Just as beautiful as you. Here, let me help you put it on.”

Snow leaned close as Amanda fastened the necklace behind her neck.

Amanda gasped as she opened Snow’s gift. It was a photo album consisting of dozens of photos of the two of them that Snow had taken over the years. There were a number of photos that included Bluebell and Daisy too—the whole family.

Amanda leaned over and kissed Snow. “It’s perfect; I love it.”

“I’m glad.”

Bluebell had finished opening her presents by now and was fidgeting. “Can I go outside and play in the snow?”

“I can take her,” Daisy volunteered.

“Go ahead.” Snow was still staring into Amanda’s eyes. “We’re staying in.”

Daisy chuckled and took Bluebell’s hand.
