Christmas Day

I woke up by Will screaming in my ears, 'ITS CHRISTMAS!! ITS CHRISTMAS!!'

I looked around and saw that Brooklyn and I were in my room lying on my bed. He must of carried me here last night after the movie.

I jumped up but I couldn't as Brooklyn's arms were still holding me tight.

"Merry Christmas Claud,"

"Merry Christmas to you too Brooklyn, come on, lets go."

We both got up and walked together into the lounge room. We were greeted by both our families. Harper, Cruz, Romeo and Will were excitedly shaking boxes under the Christmas tree. Our parents and Taylor were sitting on our couches. Brooklyn and I sat down at the christmas tree. Harper came and excitedly sat down in my lap.

H - merry christmas claudi!!

C - merry christmas to you too harps!

We started opening presents and I got;

From harper - A pretty blue dress and matching sliver shoes

From will - the If I Stay book series and some new makeup from M.A.C.

From taylor - A new dance wear id been eyeing from the new Capezio (dance wear) line.

From david - 4 tickets for the October Taylor Swift concert! (I was so going to take Clare, Paige and Macca)

From Victoria - A new Michael Kors handbag.

From Cruz - a box of Starbucks coffee beans and different drinks recipes.

From Romeo - the Nike sports bag Brooklyn and I had bought. (Brooklyn must of been buying it for Romeo.)

From Brooklyn - a Lorna Jane gift card, a new pair of pink and red Nike Pros, a new pair if black jazz shoes.

S - now Will and Claudia your dad and I have some special gifts for you. We know that this year you are both 16, that means you will be learning how to drive.

J - lets just say our 6 car park downstairs has only 1 spot left.

W - No Way!!

S - Yes way!!

Dad handed us a pair of keys each! Will, Brooklyn, Taylor, Romeo and I raced downstairs and saw too Aldi A5's. One was black which was for Will and the other one was sliver which was for me. {pic in media}
