The entirety of the kitchen table was covered with googly eyes, popsicle sticks, colored paper, glue, pens, glitter, etc. Everything they needed to make ornaments for the Christmas tree.
"Are you boys ready to make ornaments?" Deceit asked
Remus and Wrath jumped up and down, wide toothy grins spreading across their little faces. While Virgil sat on the floor with his bat pacifier and wiggled his body. Deceit chuckled and pulled out two chairs for the boys. They climbed into their chairs and took to creating their ornaments (making a mess while they were at it).
Deceit picked up Virgil and sat down in his chair, holding Virgil in his lap. Virgil's purple and green eyes lit up at all the crafts and he made grabby hands at them.
"What do you want to make?" asked Deceit. "Maybe a reindeer?"
"Ah," babbled Virgil, still mesmerized by all the stuff.
Deceit grabbed a brown cloth and gave it to Virgil, who immediately tried to stick it in his mouth but was blocked by the pacifier.
"No, no honey. These things aren't for eating," Deceit said. He put the cloth back on the table and grabbed some googly eyes, a red pompom, popsicle sticks, glue, and scissors.
"Let's make a reindeer," said Deceit.
He cut the brown fabric into a triangular shape. "This is the reindeer's head," he said as he grabbed two googly eyes. "And these will be his eyes. Do you want to put them on?" he asked
"Ba," Virgil replied
Deceit put two glue spots in the middle of the brown cloth and placed a googly eye in Virgil's hand. He directed him over to the cloth and they stuck an eye onto the glue spot.
"Good job, now for the other one," said Deceit
He directed Virgil over to the other glue spot and stuck the other eye onto it. "Now for the nose," he said. He put a glue spot on the tip of the triangle and Virgil placed the red pompom on.
"And now for the antlers," Deceit glued the popsicle sticks onto the two corners of the triangle. "There, we have a reindeer now."
"wreideer" Virgil said, wiggling and reaching for the ornament.
"Yes, reindeer," Deceit laughed, handing the ornament to Virgil.
"Were done!" Remus and Wrath squealed at the same time, holding their ornaments up for Deceit to see.
Remus's ornament was a monster-like thing. It looked like a stick man but with googly eyes that ran down each of popsicle sticks. And a rainbow of colors that were drawn onto the sticks with green glitter as an added touch.
Wrath's ornament was a paper snowman with round black sunglasses and what looked like a spikey purple mohawk drawn onto its head. The snowman also had a crudely drawn guitar resting around its front. With orange glitter making up most of the guitar's base.
"Very creative," said Deceit, nodding his head. "Let's put them on the tree."
Remus and Wrath ran towards the tree and stuck their ornaments to the branches. Grinning from ear to ear as they did so. Meanwhile, Deceit gave the reindeer ornament to Virgil and held him close to the tree. Virgil reached out his hand and waved his arm around until the ornament caught on a branch. Virgil clapped his hands and babbled at his great feat.
"Nicely done boys," Deceit said
"Can we make another one?" asked Remus
"Of course, there's plenty of supplies," Deceit replied
"Yay!" Remus and Wrath yelled as they ran back to the table for round two.
"You want to make another ornament Virge?" asked Deceit
"Ah," said Virgil
"Alright, we'll make another one." Deceit said with a chuckle, as he brought Virgil back to the table.
Deceit figured they'd probably fill the whole tree with ornaments by the time they ran out of supplies. He smiled at the idea of the tree-covered from branch to branch in their little designs. He honestly couldn't wait to see the tree in its full homemade ornament decorated glory.
