Daniela and Mason were expecting a house full of guests for the holidays. The house was decorated beautifully both inside and out. Town and Country Magazine had done a piece on Daniela, Mason and the twins showing off the beautiful house. The magazine with the photos sold out within a week and women all over the country wished they were Daniela with her handsome royal of a husband who would one day be Lord Mason Chadwell.
Daniela was becoming the perfect hostess. She spoke with her soon to be mother-in-law nearly every day via SKYPE so that Lady Chadwell could see the twins. Catherine was sorry that she couldn't see be with the twins for Christmas, but she had sent her gifts and couldn't wait to see them when they arrived in a few days.
Cook had sent several of his best recipes for Daniela to make and Frederick was arriving with pies. Daniela couldn't be happier. Her father would be arriving on Christmas Eve morning. He would be staying with them through the wedding night ritual and would return with Portia, the nanny, Millie and Lady Catherine to care for the children while they were on their honeymoon.
Mason kept their honeymoon place a secret and Daniela kept her wedding gift to him a secret so they both teased each other. Daniela did notice that Mason seemed very preoccupied all day as if he were up to something, but she attributed it to getting ready for the arrival of all the guests.
Christmas Eve Frederick was the first to arrive. Most of the guests were staying at the local Residence Inn with a few exceptions such as Blake and Valentina were staying with them.
Frederick came right after midnight so he could spend time with his grandchildren. He was so happy and getting ready to retire. Mason and Daniela offered to have him move in with them, but Frederick had his heart set on living in New York. He hadn't told Daniela but he had been speaking with Marvina and he wanted to start a relationship with her. In fact, he had invited her to Connecticut for Christmas Dinner and had only told his daughter that he was bringing a guest.

Hayley and Jake were spending Christmas Eve with his parents as well as Mary and Stephen. They were going to the family's Baptist church for midnight services and would then be leaving for Connecticut. They decided to stay in the hotel so as to have some privacy.
Mary and Stephen were spending Christmas Day with Stephen's parents. Stephen was dreading spending time with his father, but his mother really wanted to get to know Mary better. Dinner would be at the Plaza Hotel where his parents were staying. They were flying in from Maine. The rest of Stephen's family had decided to leave on a cruise, they didn't want to spend time with Dent either. Sally was invited but she didn't want to leave her husband alone on Christmas.

Daniel, Denise, Samantha and Brandon all arrived together. Samantha looked quite fetching in a Shearling coat with a Russian fur hat. It was snowing out and everything looked very Christmassy and very magical. They were also staying at the hotel. As soon as she took off her coat, Samantha and Denise zoomed in on the twins. They both couldn't wait to get pregnant. Samantha and Brandon were now trying and had been since the end of Quinn's first trimester.
Security was tight, there were guards outside guarding the perimeter. Ever since the bombing incident, Blake and Kenneth had increased security on Samantha and Brandon and Daniela and Mason as well as on Valentina. Blake who had a gun license and carried a gun now and again began to carry a gun every day. He was taking no chances with Ellen.
After some investigation Blake learned that Ellen sent someone to find out about Margo. He didn't know what Ellen learned, but whatever it was, sent her over the edge and made her go after him. Blake's men still hadn't found out exactly where Ellen was, but they narrowed it down to where in France she could be. It wouldn't be long before they found her and when they did, they would do whatever Blake asked them to do.

Blake and Valentina arrived. Valentina and Daniela had become quite good friends and the twins especially Carlos got very excited when Valentina came to visit. Blake said the boy definitely had good taste.
