“I think that’s big enough,” Tara says with a laugh when she sees the ball I’m pushing around. It’s up to my chest. “It’s going to be August before that thing melts.”
I love watching her in the winter. Her cheeks get all rosy and her green eyes sparkle. She has a colorful scarf wrapped around her neck and a cute little hat on her head. After all these years, I’m still obsessed with my mate.
“It might come in handy this summer,” I say as I grin at her. “We can stick beer cans in it to keep them cold.”
She laughs. “Now, you’re thinking.”
I smile as I watch her try to push the ball, but she keeps slipping. It’s as big as she can get it.
“Need some help?” I ask with a grin as I walk over.
“Yes, please,” she says with a sexy little smile. “Unless you want our snowman to look like he has a shrunken head.”
The base I made is enormous, and our three kids are making a huge middle section too. All three of them are grizzly bear shifters, so they’re incredibly strong.
I start rolling the head and making it bigger as Tara watches me with a loving look.
I still can’t believe she’s mine.
The thought of her nearly marrying another man always makes me sick. It turns out that David found the love of his life after Tara left him at the altar. He’s happily married and they have a few kids too. Tara was happy to hear about that. I was just happy that he was out of the picture for good and she’s all mine.
“Dad!” our oldest, Anthony, calls out. “Can you help us lift this on top of the base?”
“Sure,” I call out. “Just roll it closer.”
The three of them grunt and groan as they struggle to push it over.
“Oh!” Tara says as her green eyes light up. “I have an idea!”
I smile as I watch her run to the side of the house by the garden. Gratitude fills every inch of my body.
I adore that woman.
My inner grizzly grumbles in content as he watches her through my eyes. He’s been so calm and happy this past decade with her in our lives. Nothing can upset him anymore. She has such a calming effect on both of us.
“What’s that for?” I ask as she comes back with two flat rounded rocks.
She just grins at me. “You’ll see.”
My three kids help me lift the middle section onto the base and then since I’m the tallest, I grab the head and put it on top. It’s a few feet taller than me.
Tara is right. This snowman is so big, it will be part of the family until school starts in August when it finally melts.
“Lift me up,” Tara says with a grin.
She squeals in shock and delight when I grab her hips and lift her onto my shoulders.
“What are you doing, Mom?” Casey asks.
Tara sticks the flat rounded rocks into the top of the snowman’s head and then reaches into her pocket for more. She places smaller rocks for the eyes, nose, and some twigs for whiskers.
When she’s done, I step back to admire our masterpiece.
“It’s a snow shifter,” she says with a chuckle.
We all laugh as we see it. The flat rocks make perfect bear ears.
“I like it,” our youngest Abby says with a big smile. “This is the best day ever.”
The sun is out, the yard is full of snow, I have my three little cubs by my side, and my amazing mate on my shoulders. Pretty soon, we’ll head in for some hot chocolate in front of the fireplace and play a board game while munching on snacks. The kids will go to sleep happy and tired, and then I’ll have my sexy wife all to myself.
I have to agree with Abby.
This is the best day ever.
Every day with Tara is.
The End!
