"This is for you...And this is for you," My aunt said handing me and Amir our gifts from her. In my hand was a long Pandora box wrapped in a bow. Amir had a bigger box with a bow as well.
We were all gathered in the living room exchanging our Christmas presents. I sat on the floor with Bella cuddled up next to me and my mom was sitting on the couch between Amir and Autumn.
I slowly undid the bow trying not to mess it up.
"If you don't hurry up and rip that thing" Amir complained opening his at the same time. Ignored him opening up the box and gasping.
"This is so cute!" I squealed getting up to hug my Aunt. Inside the box was a gold butterfly bracelet with diamond charms.

If anyone knows me they know I'm obsessed with butterflies. If anything has a butterfly on it I automatically think it's the cutest thing ever.
"Thank you, TT!" I said squeezing the life out of her.
"I knew you would like it as soon as I saw the butterflies." She grinned hugging me back.
"Oh sh*t these raw as h*ll," Amir said pulling out two custom-fitted hats with his initials on them.
"Amir D'Angelo!" My mother screeched his middle name.
"My bad ma," He winced, "But thank you, auntie, I appreciate it," Amir reached over, hugged our aunt, and pecked her cheek.
"I'm glad you like it, baby?" Autumn smiled scrunching her nose at his kiss.
We all exchanged the rest of our gifts with smiles as Christmas music played softly in the background. From my mom, I got some clothes and a new pair of Uggs. Amir had got me a $100 Wingstop gift card, some Crocs, and some new earrings.
I glanced at the Christmas tree, seeing a gift left hidden in the back.
"Whose is that?" I asked pointing my thumb towards it.
"Oh!" My mom said, "This is from the Johnsons, they left you a gift yesterday." She picked up the gift and handed it to me.
"Aw that's so sweet," I spoke beginning to unwrap the gift.
"Hey, how come I didn't get a gift?" Amir side-eyed me.
"Probably would've gotten one if you were there," Our mother mumbled, "Now open the gift Tootie I wanna see," She was eager to know what they got me.
I finished unwrapping the paper and opened the box revealing different items. Inside were face masks and other self-care items including an electric brush to wash my face. I remember talking to Mary about my skincare routine so this had to be her idea.
In the bottom right of the box was a smaller box made for jewelry. I placed the box down picked up the jewelry box and opened it carefully. My jaw dropped as I was met with a silver necklace with a cross made of diamonds. It wasn't over the top but still looked classy. Definitely my type simple and cute.
