"It was snowing heavier during the day! It's not really snowing anymore."
On the other end of the video call, Layla yelled out loud, "Hayden! Stupid Robert!"
Not long after, Hayden and Robert appeared in the video.
"Look at Mommy and Daddy’s snowmen! Who do you think built it better?" Avery showed the children the snowmen. "This slightly shorter one is done by me, the bigger one is by your Daddy."
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's Mommy's one that is better," Layla said endearingly.
Avery was instantly delighted. "I haven't done it well yet. I'm planning to give it a pretty nose. When I'm done, I'll make another three more little ones. Then it will be our family of five!"
"Mommy, make me prettier! I want to be the prettiest snowman!” Layla immediately requested.
"Of course, I'll make sure you'll be the prettiest one."
After the call, Elliot walked over to her and touched her hand which was holding her phone.
"It’s much colder. Go back inside. I'll build the remaining snowmen." Elliot felt that her hand was a little cool.
Avery's heart was warm. Her eyes sparkled. "I'm not cold. I'll just put on my gloves. Being with you, anything we do together makes me extremely happy." "Me too." "I know. If I did not ask you to come out to build snowmen, you would not have done it on your own," Avery teased. "Those that truly like to build snowmen would start building during the day."
"I was doing groceries and studying recipes during the day." Elliot found himself an excuse.
