Sure enough, with Wilson's help, Georgia and Robert no longer won often. The three had their own wins and losses. Instead, Vanessa also played casually, but she was lucky. So she didn’t lose too much.
Playing cards was indeed a good exercise. Besides, it could kill time. They played for three hours.
It was a little dark outside. Annie and Wesley walked over from the toy room.
"Mom, Dad, can you stop playing cards? You said we would build a snowman in the afternoon.
Annie spoke loudly to these adults, and then reminded of them about the snowmen thing. The adults glanced at each other and then laughed at each other.
Elsie stuffed a stack of cash into Annie’s hand.
"I just won these. Annie, half of the money will be given for you as the gift, and the other half will be for Wesley."
Annie excitedly accepted the cash. Wesley also took his share. Annie asked curiously.
"Elsie, what about Elis and Sam? Will you prepare gifts for them alone?"
Elsie suddenly became embarrassed.
"They can’t speak. I suddenly forgot them. Then I will make up for them. I returned yesterday. I forgot to prepare the gifts. Next year, I will make money by myself. Then I will definitely prepare super big gifts for you guys. But these are what I just won. It's kind of my own money."
After she said this, Vanessa walked over.
"Elsie, the money is what Wilson won back for you."
"Sister, why did you say that in front of them? Can't you just let me show off in front of them for a while?"
Elsie smiled shyly. Then they led the children out to make a snowman.
They had already played snowball fights in the morning. Everyone was sneezing when playing cards in the afternoon, so they didn’t play snowball fights, lest they all would catch a cold.
Everyone started shoveling snow, and then built a huge snowman as requested by the two children.
It was still early. So they built up a more snowman and put the two by the side of the gate.
They took out the carrots and the black chess pieces to make the nose and eyes for the snowmen.
Annie brought two red buckets from the kitchen, and put them directly on the snowmen's head. Then they looked like the standard snowmen.
At this time, it had already been dark. Robert asked the butler to come out and first took a picture of Annie and Wesley who stood by the snowmen.
After that, Georgia and Robert walked over with Annie and Wesley. The family of four took a family photo.
Of course, in the end, everyone was standing by the snowman and taking a photo. Elsie, Vanessa and Wilson took another photo. Today's playful life was almost over.
At night, when the food in the kitchen was not ready, Robert received a call from Jason and Jasper.
Today was the new year. Of course they should greet each other.
At dinner, Maisie also came over. These days, Maisie was very silent and rarely came to here.
Georgia was really too busy and was almost in the laboratory every day, so she had less contact with Maisie.
At noon, Georgia invited Maisie over, but she refused. She said that she wanted to stay alone for a while. Georgia didn’t know the reason. Robert just told Georgia not to worry about it. He would pay attention on Maisie. So Georgia didn't take care of it too much.
Georgia finally felt relieved when she saw Maisie coming over to have dinner with everyone.
She was also afraid that Maisie was in a bad mood. She was afraid that Maisie remembered those bad things or thought that she and Robert ignored her.
