Married

Three

I woke up and threw the blankets off of me. I got up and ran to my window. Looking outside, to my dismay, I saw that it was snowing. 

Snow. But now mom may not let go and play with Alisa and Harry outside. Why must it snow? 

I turned around and quickly got dressed in a blue and green long sleeve shirt and black pants. I then put my hair in a pigtail.

I was so proud of myself to be able to take care of myself in the morning. I use to need mommy's help. But not anymore. 

I then walked out of my room and down the hallway to the bathroom. After I went potty I washed my hands and then brushed my teeth. 

When I was done in there I went downstairs. I made my way to into the kitchen, where I got a bowl of cereal. Grabbing a spoon I sat down at the island and starting eating it. 

When I finished eating I took my dishes to the sink and then sat back down just enjoying the smells of tonight's dinner. 

Tonight we are eating turkey and mashed potatoes with green beans. Also anything else that Harry's mother or Alisa's family brings. 

It seems like a lot of food to me. But mommy says that there is suppose to be a lot of food because its Christmas Eve.She said that we where eating now because tomorrow night is the big diner and tonight was just for our three families. 

As I was siting there, drawing circles on the table top with my finger and just smelling the food, my mom walked in. She walked right over to the stove and opened the oven checking on the turkey. 

I looked up at her for a moment then back down and watched my finger trace shapes on the island. 

She put the turkey back when she thought it was fine then turned around and gasped. "Juliet don't scare me like that!"

"Like what?" I asked her. 

"You just came out of no where," She said. 

I looked up at her then back down," Nope. I've been  sitting here for a while."

"Just... sitting there?" She asked me and I nodded. "Why?" She asked me. 

"Because, Harry and Alisa are not here yet. And even if they were here we wouldn't be allowed to play outside because its snowing and you wont let me go and play out in the snow."

She sighed, "Well it stopped snowing and the ground is just covered with snow..I think that if Alisa's parents will allow her to play outside and Harry's mother will allow him to play outside..then I will let you go play with them. Now," She continued, " Go and make sure your ready they will be here any moment." 

I slid off my chair and ran up to her. I hugged her waist and jumped up and down. "Thank-you! Thank-you ! Thank-you!" I screamed into the skirt of her dress that she was wearing. 

She laughed and slightly hugged me back, "OF course hunny. But I really think you should wear something fancier."

"But mom," I wined pulling away from her, "If we go play outside I wont be able to move around as easy as I could in these clothing." 

"Alright," She said giving in. 

"Thanks," I said. 

I then turned and ran out of the kitchen back to my room. I pulled out my boots and put them on. 

Sure enough, as I got both of them on I heard the door bell go off. I ran out of my room and raced to the door.

When my mother saw me pass the kitchen she called to me, "Juliet could you get the door?"
