*Joey, Daniel, their fourteen kids and Maria all go out and get a Christmas tree together as a family! Enjoy! Thank you to JustJanielobsessed for helping me write this! Love • Bree 🥰

It is a bright mid Saturday morning in the Graceffa-Preda household!

The triplets are in their playpen playing, Caspian and Emersyn are sleeping in their pack 'n' play, Joey is in his office editing a video with Koa, Daniel is in the kitchen baking cookies, Aspen is in the kitchen with Daniel while she does her homework and the rest of the kiddos are in the basement helping Maria find Christmas decorations!

Daniel pops the first batch of cookies in the oven.

"Papa, why are you making cookies so early in the day?" Aspen questions Daniel and Daniel giggles.

"Because Daddy wanted cookies!" Daniel says with a grin.

Aspen pauses remember that Joey craved cookies while pregnant....

"Papa... Is Daddy pregnant again?" Aspen asks Daniel.

"I don't think so! I hope not, he just had the twins a month ago!" Daniel says with a chuckle.

"Well, you know he got pregnant with them right after Koa." Aspen says with some sass.

"Yes, missy we did. Do you want another sex ed talk?" Daniel asks Aspen and she hides her face in disgust.

"No, I'm good. I don't wanna picture things. I already saw fanfic of you and Dad." Aspen says as she takes a sip of her drink.

"Oh lord! People still write those?" Daniel asks Aspen as he chuckles.

"I think so! Or the ones I saw were old." Aspen says with a giggle.

"Papa!" Bria says with a grin as she walks over to Daniel and hugs his legs.

"Hello, BB! What's your brother and sister doing?" Daniel asks Bria, kissing her forehead.

"Not sharwing!" Bria says as she giggles.

Daniel raised his eyebrows at Bria's not sharing comment.

"And what are we not sharing?" Daniel asks out loud.

"Da toys!" Bria says as Tristan and Sienna begin to argue in the background.

"Sienna! Tristan! Come here, please." Daniel says as Sienna and Tristan both run over.

"You two need to share the toys, okay? I know it can be hard sometimes especially since all of you are little." Daniel says Bria, Tristan and Sienna.

The triplets all nod at Daniel's little talk, making sure he knows they understand.

"Otay, Papa. We shware." Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison.

"Thank you." Daniel says as he kisses Bria, Tristan and Sienna one by one.

Aspen begins to type on her laptop, looking things up for her homework assignment.

Ash, Eden, River and Luna all run up the basement steps, holding some small Christmas decorations.

"Be careful!" Maria says loudly from the basement.

"They are fine, Mom! I got them!" Daniel says as he, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all walk over to the basement steps.

"Let's bring the Christmas decorations in the living room, guys!" Daniel says as Eden, Luna, River and Ash happily sit everything down on the couch.

"Oh, Nonna is getting the Christmas tree decorations out! We are going to decorate our five trees sometime this weekend!" Daniel says with a grin.

"Five?" Aspen asks, not believing what Daniel just said.

"FIVE! WOW! That's a lot and soooo awesome!" Eden yells in excitement.

"Yes, five! There's no way one tree is enough to decorate with all of you! A group of you guys can do each tree to make it fair!" Daniel says with a smile.

"I excited!" River says, flapping his arms excitedly.

"Me too!" Luna and Ash both say in unison.

"Well, I think we are going to get a real tree today!" Daniel says as he walks over to check on the twins and both babies are still fast asleep.

Aspen smiles and slams her chemistry book closed, annoyed with her homework.

"I quit! Let's go get Dad and go!" Aspen says with some sass, causing Daniel to chuckle.

"Well, Daddy is finishing up editing a video. How about I can try and help you! Chemistry used to be one of my favorite subjects." Daniel says with a grin.

"Okay! But it's so hard." Aspen says rolling her eyes.

"It can be, you just have to focus. Let me get your brothers and sisters occupied." Daniel says to Aspen as he puts a movie on to keep Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna occupied and quiet.

Daniel sits down next to Aspen and scans her book and assignment.

"Okay, what's frustrating to you?" Daniel asks Aspen.

"This part right here." Aspen says as Daniel reads through everything.

Daniel helps Aspen through the assignment. Meanwhile in the basement, Maria, Everett, Maxwell and Haven are looking through the Christmas decorations.

"Papa said we are going to have five Christmas trees!" Haven says as they find a box of ornaments.

"That's one more than last year! I love Christmas trees!" Everett says as he twirls around.

"One real, the rest fake! We might go to the Christmas tree farm and get one today or tomorrow!" Maria explains to Everett, Maxwell and Haven.

"Awesome! I love picking a tree and bringing it home!" Maxwell says as Everett and Haven nod in agreement.

Maria smiles at some of her grandchildren enjoying the holidays so much. She is so grateful to be a Nonna to all of them.

About 30 minutes later, Joey comes downstairs in one of Daniel's hoodies, holding a happy Koa and sees Daniel and Aspen at the kitchen island sitting down together.

"Hi, Honey! Hi, Asp!" Joey says to Daniel and Aspen!

"Hey, Dad! Papa helped me with my chemistry homework!" Aspen says happily.

"Aw, that's great! I didn't like science in school but Papa is great at it!" Joey says as he fixes Koa in his arms.

"Aaaaa!" Koa yells happily.

"We see you, Koa!" Daniel says as he tickles Koa's tummy, 

"Hi, Koa!" Aspen says as Joey hands Koa to Aspen to hold.

"Let's go see what Sienna, Tristan, Bria, Ash, Eden, River and Luna are watching!" Aspen says to Koa as she and him leave the kitchen.

"Ba baaa!" Koa says as he giggles.

"How are the babies?" Joey asks as he hugs Daniel and kisses him.

Daniel stands up out of his chair and wraps his arms around Joey's waist,

"Still sleeping! We need to get them up and feed them. We are still going to get a tree today?" Daniel asks Joey.

"Yes! We should go today, the weather is perfect." Joey says as he hugs Daniel tightly.

The oven dings, meaning the cookies are finished baking!

Joey smiles at Daniel and then at the cookies.

"Yay! Cookies!" Joey says happily to Daniel.

Daniel pulls Joey over to the oven and whispers "Aspen asked if you're pregnant again cause she knows you craved cookies... are you.. by any chance?"

"Nope! I got my time of the month already! It's only five weeks since they were born! I called my doctor and she assured that it's normal and every postpartum is different." Joey says as he sighs and hugs Daniel tightly again.

"Aww, I'm sorry babe. Well, I hope the cookies make you feel better." Daniel says as he kisses Joey and Joey nods a bit.

"I'm just feeling a little sad, that's all. I'm sorry." Joey says Daniel softly.

"Aww, baby. It's okay. I'm here for you, always." Daniel says softly as he holds Joey's face and they smile at each other.

Joey has been struggling with postpartum depression this time around. He thinks it's probably due to this being his last pregnancy and last time having newborns. Joey has always loved being pregnant and loves being a dad, so this season of life being over is breaking his heart a little but he knows it's for the best. 

"Ho Ho Ho!" Everett, Haven and Maxwell all say in unison as they bring the rest of the Christmas boxes and decorations from the basement with Maria right behind them.

Maria smiles as she quickly walks over to where Daniel and Joey are.

"I found the mistletoe!" Maria says happily holding it up.

"We need to hang that up!" Daniel says as Joey laughs and smiles.

"Daddy! Papa! Caspian and Emmy are crying!" Eden says as she runs over to tell  them.

"Okay, baby! Thank you for telling us!" Joey says as he kisses Eden.

Joey and Daniel quickly walk over to the twins while Maria makes their bottles.

Joey and Daniel calm the twins down and begin to feed them.

Emersyn yawns and cuddles into Daniel's chest, making his heart melt instantly.

"Aww look how sleepy she is!" Daniel awes happily.

"Because she has a full tummy! Cas is getting sleeping too. Aren't you, baby boy?" Joey asks Caspian in a babyfied voice.

"What are we doing today?" Maxwell asks Joey and Daniel.

"We are going to get a Christmas tree!" Joey says with a cheeky smile.

"YAY!" Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all yell happily.

"Aaaa!" Koa squeals loudly and flaps his arms and legs.

"Awesome!" Aspen says with a smile.

"But first, we need to check Montana and her puppies and then check on the rest of our pets before we leave. We will probably get a Christmas tree and then dinner." Daniel explains to all of the kids.

As Daniel and Joey walk down the hallway with the twins, Joey stops daniel.

"Danny, wait!" Joey says happily.

Daniel stops and looks confused right as Joey pulls Daniel into a kiss right below the mistletoe Maria hung in the hallway!

Daniel and Joey walk back into living room to place the twins in their bassinet so they can help the kids with the pets.

Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden and Ash all help with the pets while Daniel and Joey make sure Montana and her puppies are doing well.

Maria happily watches the twins and Koa while she gets the two diaper bags ready!

Koa babbles to the twins and smiles at Maria.

"Are you excited, Koa bear? Nonna is! Nonna is so excited to celebrate three first Christmases again this year! This year with you, Caspian and Emersyn! Yes! You three are kinda like triplets!" Maria says as Koa giggles.

Daniel and Joey come back downstairs first before the kids.

"Okay, I think we're ready to go!" Daniel says with a grin.

"The kids are getting their shoes on now!" Joey says as he picks up Koa and kisses him.

"Let me get the van and clean it out before we all leave!" Daniel says as he slips on his tennis shoes.

"The new van is already dirty?" Maria asks Daniel.

"Yes, mom. We have fourteen kids!" Daniel says with some sass

"It's not that dirty, Maria!" Joey says as he chuckles.

Maria shakes her head at Joey.

"Tisk tisk my child." Maria says to Joey and Joey giggles.

"Oh tisk tisk, Mama Maria!" Joey says to Maria.

Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all walk down the steps together and run over to Maria and Joey.

"Let's get our shoes on! Come here!" Joey says as he helps the triplets and Ash get their shoes on while Maria holds Koa.

Eden, River, Luna, Haven, Maxwell, Everett and Aspen all walk down the steps with their shoes on and are ready to go!

Daniel notices Aspen has red and green streaks in her blonde hair and gasps.

"Excuse me, ma'am! Where did you get that hair color?" Daniel asks Aspen and she giggles.

"It was the hair chalk Auntie Nicole gave me!" Aspen says with a smile.

"Aspen did it for all of our hair!" Luna says as she twirls.

"Uh huh!" Eden says as she giggles.

"Me too!" Haven says as they play with their short hair.

"Aw, so cute!" Joey says happily.

"Okay, everybody! Let's load up!" Daniel says as he picks up Caspian and Emersyn's car seats and carries them to the car.

Maria holds Koa and takes him to the car while Joey, Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all follow behind!

Everyone loads up in the family van and get ready to go!

Recently, Joey and Daniel traded their old van and got an eighteen passenger Ford Transit Minibus that fits everyone!

Daniel gets in the drivers seat and smiles at everyone.

"Let's listen to Christmas music!" Daniel says as he turns the radio dial on the radio and finds Christmas music!

Daniel's favorite, All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey is playing!

All of the older kids happily sing along with Daniel while Joey films a little video.

Daniel smiles and rubs Joey's thigh, causing Joey's cheeks to blush.

"Are were dere yet?" Ash asks impatiently.

"Not yet, bud! We have about twenty minutes left" Joey says to the bored toddler.

"Ugh! Dats a long time!" Eden says and Ash agrees.

"Yeah! Long time!" Ash says to Joey and Daniel.

Daniel giggles at Ash and Eden.

"Patience my children. Maybe when we get to the Christmas tree farm, we can all get hot cocoa.

"Yes! I loveeeeee hot cocoa!" Everett says happily.

"Me too!" Haven says with a grin.

"It's one of my favorite treats during the holidays!" Luna says with a smile.

After a thirty minute drive, the Graceffa-Preda's have made it to the Christmas tree farm!

Daniel puts Koa, Emersyn and Caspian in a triple stroller while Joey and Maria put Bria, Tristan and Sienna in another triple stroller.

"Okay! Everyone is all buckled in and ready!" Joey says with a smile.

Ash, Eden and River all happily run around the parking lot.

"Ash, Eden and River! No running in the parking lot. Hold my hands please." Maria says to Ash, Eden and River.

Maria catches up with Ash, Eden and River and walks with them while Daniel and Joey push Koa, Emersyn, Caspian, Bria, Sienna and Tristan!

Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven and Luna, all follow behind happily.

Once in the Christmas tree farm, the whole family begins to walk around, looking for the perfect tree!

Aspen points out a big tree to Daniel and says "I found a big one Papa!"

"Woah! That's a big one!" Joey says as he smiles at the tree Aspen picked.

"Ooo it's gorgeous though!" Daniel says as he examines the tree.

Ash, Eden, River and Luna happily hold each others hands and play ring around the rosy.

Daniel smiles at all of the kids.

"Should we get it, Preda Crew?" Daniel asks the kids.

"YESSS!" Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all yell happily.

"Aaaaa!" Koa yells loudly.

"Yessss! Aspen picked a perfect tree!" Everett says as he takes pictures.

"Thanks, Ev!" Aspen says as she hugs her brother.

"How is it gonna fit in our house?" Haven asks curiously and Joey giggles.

"Papa is magic! He'll find a way!" Joey explains with a grin.

"Okay, let's have someone cut it down for us!" Joey says with a grin.

"That's sad we gotta cut it down!" Maxwell says with a frown.

"This farm plants a tree to replace the one we use, don't worry! Daddy and I wouldn't come to this farm if they didn't!" Daniel says as Joey nods in agreement.

Maxwell smiles at Daniel.

"Okay! Im glad it gets replaced!" Maxwell says with a grin and Haven smiles too.

"Papa can I go over to the little petting zoo area and pet the sheep?" Haven asks Daniel.

"Sure! Let's all go over there and see the animals!" Daniel says to the kids.

Joey, Maria and the kids go over to the petting zoo while Daniel gets someone to cut the tree.

River carefully walks over to the sheep and looks up at Joey scared to touch the sheep because he doesnt want to be bitten.

"It's okay! You can pet her! She is very soft!" Joey says as he pets the sheep and so does River.

"Goat!" Sienna yells as she happily pets the goat.

"That's right, Sienna! That is a goat!" Maria says with a big smile.

Bria and Tristan follow Sienna and pet a goat.

"Aww, the ducks are soooo cute!" Joey says, taking a picture of the triplets with the goats.

Daniel smiles as he walks over and Joey smiles back.

"I love our family and I love you!" Daniel says to Joey.

"I love you too! Oh and our family." Joey says as he and Daniel both chuckle.

Joey kisses Daniel's hand and smiles.

"I want a goat!" River says and flaps his arms!

"We have enough animals I think, bud!" Daniel says as Joey giggles.

"Wook at da bunnies!" Sienna says as she gets excited.

"Just like Thunder, Sky and Cocoa." Aspen says as she takes a picture of Sienna with the bunnies.

Just then a worker comes over and says "I got your tree all cut and shaken out and tied up!"

"Thank you!" Daniel, Joey, Maria, Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison to the worker.

Daniel ties the tree to the top of the van while everyone gets in the van!

"Is the tree gonna fall off!" Ash says to Joey and Maria.

"It won't! Papa is making sure it won't!" Joey says to Ash.

"Ba baaaaa!" Koa yells.

"I hear you, baby boy! Yes!" Maria says as she fixes Koa's car seat straps.

Koa babbles at Maria and Daniel gets in the van in the drivers seat.

"Who's ready to decorate the tree!" Daniel asks happily as Joey films the kids.

"Meeeeee!" Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan and Sienna.

"Aaaaaa ba ba!" Koa babbles happily.

The whole Graceffa-Preda family gets home and begins to decorate their five Christmas trees!

Joey, Daniel, Maria, Aspen, Everett, Maxwell, Haven, Luna, River, Eden, Ash, Bria, Tristan, Sienna, Koa, Caspian and Emersyn all had a fun time decorating their trees and the whole family can't wait for Christmas! :)
