Christmas Lights

Whistler's family had a tradition that the week leading up to Christmas they would walk around and look at the Christmas lights this was the first year Kevin was joining them. Whistler's six siblings and their kids were ahead of Keven and Whistler, Jenny and Phil were leading the group. 
The group was the opposite of quiet, they all shouted when they saw lights they liked or when they saw something they thought was funny.
"This house."
Whistler pulled Keven to a stop, in front of a small house. The roof was lined with green lights, the house itself had dancing Christmas lights, the front door had a wreath and the front path was lined with glow in the dark candy canes, and lastly was a plastic nativity scene, sat on the front lawn.
"It's so peaceful."
Keven smiled in agreement. But the two were brought out of their peaceful thoughts, by a snowball hitting Keven in the face. A quick scan of the group showed that the twins Alex and Jaden were to blame. Being the mature adults they where both Whistler and Keven scooped up some snow and threw it at the twins, and it would have hit their targets. if their youngest sister hadn't stepped in front of them.
"Sorry, Stephane."
Stephane responded by throwing a snowball at the couple. It didn't take long before the whole family was covered in snow and breathless from running around and laughing. 
They walked a little longer till they came to the Raindrop Cafe. Close to half an hour later the family exited the cafe with their preferred drink and then started the track back home.
