Katie smiled warmly at him. "You're so sweet." And kissed him on the lips again, glancing back at the boys, laughing at Nick's thought. "Yeah, I'm sure he would of loved that." she shook her head at the thought. It was true, after all. She didn't even think leaving Kyle alone in an amusement park would phase him in anyway, either. It would just get him all hyped up that he wouldn't have anyone slowing him down. Katie turned back to Nick, thinking about his offer for dinner again. "Seven sounds good, actually. And we weren't really planning on having too big of a family dinner anyway. Considering some of the siblings are out with their own boyfriends and girlfriends and whatnot." she explained. "So, would it be just us? Or do these plans include the rugrats, too?" she asked curiously, pointing over to the boys she mentioned as 'rugrats'.

"Why thank you very much." Nick pulled her close to him and kissed her back, still grinning as he pulled away. "Of course these plans include the rugrats. We can't just leave them out. It wouldn't be fair to let them miss out on all the fun." As much as he enjoyed having Katie all to himself, he knew very well that it was important for him to spend time with the boys as well. It wasn't a hardship to him at all. He actually enjoyed doing it. Over the past few months, he had developed a huge soft spot for them. "So seven's not too late for them either? I won't keep you out too long, just about an hour or so. We can go earlier if you want."

Katie grinned with a small giggle attached to it. "Well, now I'm really curious to know what these plans are then." she admitted, hinting at him to give her at least a small hint of where they were going to. Oh no, seven's perfect. It's not like they're gonna go to bed anytime soon after the kind of day they had today." she explained with a smile, glancing back at the boys just imagining how it'll be like getting them to bed later tonight. Connor may not be as hard, but Kyle...she may have to wrestle him into his pajamas let alone in his bed.

Nick grinned and took her hand. "Oh don't worry about the boys being awake," he said. "That's the beauty of it. We're just going go for a ride. They don't have to get out of the car. You can even dress them in their pajamas before we leave if you want. Maybe they might surprise us and actually fall asleep on the way home." He still wanted the evening to be a bit of a surprise, so he didn't want to give away too much about it. He squeezed her hand and kissed it. "So I'll come back here around seven, okay?"

"Oh really now?" Katie raised her eyebrows, interested in where they were going even more now. She squeezed her hand in his slightly as she chuckled out her next statement. "Not sure how fast I'll be able to get Kyle in his pajamas, but okay. Sounds good." she grinned wider at him, now swinging their arms lightly side to side. When he pulled her hand up to kiss it then, she smiled harder, and leaned in to give him a quick peck on the lips herself. "Alright then, I'll see you later." she waved goodbye to him, watching him leave, and turned back to see what her crazy little kids were up to now.

As promised, Nick returned to Katie's house later that night. It was chillier than normal so he had bundled up and bought along blankets for Katie and the boys just in case they got cold too. Most people would have complained about the suddenly cold California weather, but Nick loved it. To him, it felt more like Christmas. Sure, he was a surfer kid and loved being near the sun and the beach, but there was just something festive to him about cold weather. It would have taken him awhile to get used to a seventy degree Christmas. After putting down the blankets in the backseat, he walked up to the door and rang the doorbell for the second time that day, eager for the second part of their Christmas to start.

It was closing into seven o' clock. Nick would be here any minute, and she was still wrestling Kyle into his pajamas. "Noooooooo!" screamed the little two year old running around the room, still full of energy. Katie was tired of all this, and was now slouched over on the chair in the nursery room. "Kyle... for the love of God, just put your pj's on! Please!" she screamed at her child, who was still running around in circles. "Nuh-uh! Not tiwed!" he screamed back. Connor was sitting on the floor patiently, sucking his thumb and watching his mother and brother have their little wrestling match they had almost every night.
Finally, just as Katie got her son in his pajamas, the doorbell rang. Katie sprung to her feet instantly and grabbed each boy's hand and led them down the stairs to meet their ride. She picked up Connor before opening the door, balancing him on her hip, and grabbed Kyle's hand again right after she opened the door to meet Nick. "Hey, you." she smiled out with a small sigh.

"Hey there yourself," Nick replied, grinning at the three of them. "Wow, you got him in pajamas, good job." Considering how Kyle usually acted, he never doubted for a second that Katie wouldn't be able to handle him. He wasn't sure how she managed to do it. "So are you guys ready to go? Got the car seats all strapped in and everything. Sammy's outgrown his and Molly had an extra one, so my mom let me borrow them for tonight."

Katie gave a friendly little smirk, glancing down at Kyle who just whined slightly. "Yeah, took a few fights, but I got him.." she laughed, adjusting Connor in her arms. She nodded about the whole car seat situation and followed him out. Once they got the boys all buckled in the seats with blankets covering them both, Katie let herself in the passenger seat. She noticed some more blankets up front, figuring he brought some for her too. "Well, I see you came prepared." she giggled, buckling herself in before laying the blanket out over her lap. "So...where're we headed?" she finally asked, with the look on her face as curious as ever.

As soon as everybody was buckled in and bundled up, Nick started up the car and smiled. "If I told you where we were headed, then it wouldn't be that much fun, would it?" he asked as he backed down the driveway. "Plus it's only like five minutes away anyways." He grabbed Katie's hand with his right hand and squeezed it, still keeping his left hand on the wheel. "So, did you guys have a nice Christmas dinner? Mine was fun....it was noisy, but fun."

Katie shrugged at his answer, and pulled the blanket up just a bit more. "Well, if its that close, then I guess I could wait." she grinned, tightening her grip in his hand slightly. She giggled when he told her about his Christmas dinner. "Well, I guess you could say ours wasn't much different then. It was good, loud...oh, and messy." she nodded her head towards the boys in the back who were already picking a small fight with each other. "Had to wash them up real quick before wrestling them into pajamas." she explained, glancing behind her to check on them. "Kyle!" she scolded, giving her son a stern look, "Leave your brother alone." she scolded him again, not turning away till his arms were back to himself. She sighed when she turned back around, and smiled softly at Nick again.

"Oh wow, it was messy? Did they get into a food fight or something?" At the next red light, he turned to look back at the boys, who seemed to have resolved whatever issue Katie was yelling at them for. Considering what he knew about Kyle, he wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he started a food fight. "I'm sure washing them up must have been a real picnic," he said, moving forward after the light turned green. "If you ever need me to help, just let me know. I'm no expert, but I've helped my mom with Molly and Sammy a few times." He grinned proudly as they reached their destination. After pulling up to the tollbooth and paying, he turned to Katie. "You ready?"

"Nearly." Katie answered with a slight smirk. "Well, I guess you could call it a food fight if you count Kyle smashing his brothers face in his food dish. "It funny!" Babbled Kyle in the backseat just as Nick turned back to glance at them. Katie didn't even turn around, she just shook her head and giggled softly to herself. "It wasn't funny to Connor though, was it?" she called back to her son. "Yeah! Conna wike it!" And with that, Kyle poked his brother awake. "Wight, Conna?" Connor's response was a simple whine, slapping Kyle's hand away. Kyle only laughed. After pulling through the toll booth to pay, Katie had a small hunch of where they would be heading now. It was hard to say though. "Ready when you are, babe." she simply replied back to him.

Nick knew that it probably wasn't a good idea to crack up at Kyle's story, but he couldn't help it. Kyle could be difficult at times, but he was still a very funny and interesting kid. "Oh wow, sorry to hear about that," he said to Katie after he was finished laughing. He turned around to face Connor in the backseat. "And I'm sorry that you didn't have a good Christmas night, little man," he said, smiling at him. "I hope I can make it up to you." He turned back around and continued driving, passing under a big archway that was decorated with red and green neon lights to resemble a big Christmas wreath. "You boys see the pretty lights?" he asked, pointing out several of them as he slowly drove past them. "Oooooo look at the candy canes!"

"What's done is done." Was all Katie said. As they drove through the archway then, Katie knew then what the big surprise was. Christmas lightings! Her eyes widened, as well as the boys at the dazzling lights that stood around them. "Wow! Candy canes!" Connor shouted repeating what Nick said as he had his nose and hands pressed up against the window. "Wook ova dar!" Kyle shouted as well, his posture just the same at his own window. "Wook at da weindeews! And gingabwead!" he grinned wider. Katie just sat there quietly, looking at each one of the decorations they passed, amazed at how much work this must of taken. "Wow. This is beautiful." she finally said, right before Kyle shouted, "Dis awesome!"
