13. Gingerbread

The kitchen was alive with festive creativity as gingerbread house decorating ensued. Unbridled with enthusiasm, Logan surprisingly managed to remain seated at the table alongside his family. His usual restlessness was replaced by a concentration uncharacteristically honed on creating a masterpiece.

Icing flew in every direction, gumdrops haphazardly scattered like confetti, and walls threatened to crumble under the weight of unevenly distributed candy. Logan's gingerbread house bore the unmistakable signs of a creative whirlwind that contrasted the meticulously crafted masterpieces his two older sisters and his mother, holding a baby in one arm, had created. Melody's eyebrow arched after glancing at his creation, and Nova attempted to stifle a laugh.

"Is that even a gingerbread house anymore?"

"It looks like a tornado came through!"

"Well, if there were any doubts before, we certainly know whose son Logan is now," his mother teased with a smile, her gaze playfully shifting between the creations of the boy and his older lookalike.

The blond lifted his head, catching sight of his father's equally chaotic gingerbread house. The Auror, rolling his eyes in jest, tossed a gumdrop at his mum, setting off a playful candy exchange that turned the kitchen into a sugary battleground.
