The Foster

part 57

The next night, Anna was feeling pretty well. We already had dinner and the sun was setting. I went to Anna's room.

"Hey Anna, do you think we could go look at christmas lights tonight? I think it would be really fun. We could even stop to get coffee for everyone." I asked.

"Yeah that's a great idea! Let me get dressed, and go tell Ross and Rachel to get ready." Anna said. Yay! I loved christmas lights.

"Rachel." I knocked lightly on her door. She opened it instantly. "Want to go look at christmas lights? Anna is going to take us in a minute."

"Really? Okay, fun." Rachel grabbed her jacket and went out to the living room. I went into my room and Ross walked through the closet.

"Christmas lights, huh?" Ross asked, pulling a jacket on.

"Yeah. Don't you like looking at christmas lights?" I asked. He shrugged. "I can't believe you. They're awesome and so pretty."

"I'll take your word for it." Ross said.

The four of us got into Anna's car and she drove. Ross sat in the front, and Rachel and I sat in the back. Anna drove some ways until we got to the park, where all the christmas lights were. It was a drive through.

The lights went on for about two miles. We all had hot chocolate and were enjoying ourself.

"Look at that one!" Rachel pointed to a dolphin that was made to look like it was jumping out of the lake.

"Did you guys see that huge tree?" I asked. There was a humongous pine tree, filled with christmas lights and bulbs. The star at the top must've been 5 feet tall. Anna took a picture.

"Okay kids, get out and let me take your picture." Anna said once we were at the end. The three of us went and stood in front of the tree. I wrapped my arms around Ross' stomach and he put a hand around my shoulders. Rachel stood on the other side of Ross, we all smiled. I jumped on Ross' back for a picture of just us, Anna took it as we laughed.

"Let me take a picture of you three." Rachel said, taking Anna's phone. Anna came to stand beside us. Ross wrapped an arm around each of us and Rachel took the picture.

It was really cold out and there was still some snow on the ground from the day before, so we were all freezing. I ran back to the car and everyone else did the same.

"Who is up for a christmas movie when we get home?" Anna asked.

"Me! But no promises i'll make it through the entire thing before falling asleep." I told them.

When we got home, it was only 8pm. I was so hungry so I searched the fridge for some food to eat before the movie started.

"You guys hungry?" Anna asked. We all said yes. "I could go get some Chinese takeout. Sound good?"

"That sounds great! I'll go with you." Rachel said. Anna called and ordered some noodles, rice, and chicken.

"We will be back soon. You two can pick a movie while we're gone." Anna said. They both walked out the door.

"It's so cold outside. I think it's starting to snow." I walked to the window and looked outside.

"Hopefully. After it's been so cold, we at least need a little snow." Ross said. "You want some eggnog?"

"Eggnog? What even is that?" I asked.

"Some kind of drink people like to have near christmas. I have some in the fridge downstairs, i'll be back." Ross got up and ran downstairs. He was back in a minute with a milk jug. "Try some."
