Birthday Planning

After a while, Maya and Horus—also in school uniform—arrived and the three babies immediately went to greet them. 

The bigger kids smiled at the little ones and greeted them back, but instead of playing around, they settled down where the adults were lounging. 

Seeing this, the three babies also followed behind their big brother and big sister. 

"So the first birthdays must be grand…" Ansel said as he sat on one of the armchairs. He even pulled a small blackboard to his side. "So we'll be treating it as an actual event!" 

The redhead always took the role of Main Event Organizer whenever there was an occasion in their team and everyone else was happy the troublesome parts were out of their hands. "I'll reserve a hall in the hotel and performers… Harold is in-charge of the catering…" 

While Ansel talked out loud, his audience half-listened and half-played with the kids. (It couldn't be helped; people's attention spans were limited).
