CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
It's been one hectic evening. The going away party with mine and Jessi's friends, finding out Molly's going to Texas too, Clayton being kicked off the team, Jessica going out with Jacob, and then Clayton being put back on the team. One hectic evening. Tomorrow will be even crazier though.
I go to sleep as soon as my head hits my pillow.
*time skip to morning*
I wake up to Chloe on me.
"Hi Chlo!" I say
"Hi Sadie!"
I climb down from my bed then pick up Chloe. I see that Paige is waking up Jessica. I laugh then take Chloe downstairs. I fix us some cereal then we talk about preschool and Aunt Denise's yesterday. Chloe played with Beth and Paige played with Amie. Christiana was out with some friends.
Amie and Beth are twins, they're 15 almost 16. Christiana is their older sister who's 18.
After Chloe and I finished our cereal we went to her room to get her dressed.
She picked out a blue tank-top and jean shorts. I got the same out for Paige. When Paige came in I dressed her while Chloe got dressed.
When I waked out I saw that Jessica was also in a blue tank-top and jean shorts. I went up to my room and dressed in the same thing.
I then set up a group chat with my cousins

"Brooke!" I yell
"Yeah?"
"I'm picking out your outfit for today!"
"Ok!"
I go into Brooke's room and pick out a blue tank-top and jean shorts and lay it on her bed.
"It's on you're bed!" I say
"Ok!"
*time skip*
Jessica, Brooke, Chloe, Paige, and I are all sitting on the couch when Mom, Dad, and the boys come down.
"Well well well, looks like we have some matching girls." Dad says
"Chloe picked out the outfit so I got it out for Paige too. I saw that Jessica had it on as well so I put it on too and Brooke let me pick out her clothes so I picked it out for her too." I told them
"I see." Dad said
Mom comes back with the camera and says, "pictures!"
So we let Mom take pictures for five minutes.
After a little while the doorbell rings. I go to answer it and its Aunt Denise, Uncle Philip, Christiana, Amie, and Beth.
"Hi guys! Come on in!" I say
"Hi Sadie!" Amie, Beth, and Christiana say in unison
"Clayton and Jessica are in the living room. Mom and Dad are in the kitchen."
Aunt Denise and Uncle Philip go into the kitchen while Amie, Beth, Christiana, and I go into the living room.
"Why hello Amanda, Bethany, and Christiana!" Clayton says
"Hello Clayton Christopher" Amie and Beth say
"Hello Clayton" Christiana says
Everyone goes into the living room then the doorbell rings again and I go to answer it. It's Uncle Larry, Aunt Janice, Maddison, Emily, and Mary.
"Hi Maddy, Emmy, Mary, Aunt Janice, and Uncle Larry!"
"Hi Sadie!" they say
"The adults are in the kitchen and the cousins are in the living room."
"Ok thanks" they say
Madison and Mary went ahead to the living room while Emily gave me a hug first.
I make a sign that says 'Adults in Kitchen' and put it on the front door just as Aunt Faye, Uncle John, Bri, and Nick pulled up. I ran and gave them all a hug.
"Hi!" I told them
"Hi Sadie!" they said
I gestured to the sign then said, "All of the cousins are in the living room"
"Ok thanks" they told me
Bri gave me another hug then grabbed my hand and we walked inside.
Nick went ahead to the living room while Bri went and gave Beth a hug. The doorbell rang again and I went to answer it. At the door was Aunt Carole, Aubrey, Sophie, and Shawna. Right behind them was Uncle Bill, Aunt Rachel, Caleb, Seth, Brent, and Logan.
"Hi!" I told them
We all walked inside and went into the living room. All of us cousins talked and the boys asked why all of us girls were wearing matching outfits.
After about ten minutes of talking the adults walked in. "Oh my gosh!" Mom says, "Girls did you plan these outfits?"
"Mom, I forgot to mention I texted the cousins and asked them to wear this outfit." I explained
"Ok, well we'll have to take pictures, but first I'm going to introduce a few people."
"Ok"
"Brooke, Paige, Chloe? Come here please." they walked over to Mom, "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Brooke, Paige, and Chloe, you're newest cousins. Brooke is 10, Paige is 3, and Chloe's 4."
"They're so cute!" Aunt Faye and Aunt Carole said
"Thank you." my little sisters mumbled
Then Mom took pictures of all of us and finally said, "Now kids, you can go hangout else where if you like."
All of us kids left the room. Jessica, Amie, and Mary went to Jessica's room. Paige, Chloe, and Sophie went to Chloe's room.
Jack, Brent, and Logan went to Jack's room. Connor, David, and Caleb went to David's room.
Aubrey, Brooke, Shawna, and Emily went to Brooke's room. Clayton, Christiana, Seth, Nick, and Madison went to Clayton's room.
Beth, Bri, and I went to my room.
"So? How's life? Christiana and Amie? Nick?" I asked
"Good and annoying as ever!" Bri told me
"Same!" Beth agreed
"How's all your siblings?" Bri asked me
"Well, Clayton and Jack have been awesome, David, Connor, and Jessica annoying, Brooke really sweet, and Paige and Chloe adorable." I replied
"Wow" Beth and Bri said in unison
"So you and Jessi are going to Texas for five months correct?" Beth asked breaking the silence
"Yeah." I replied sadly
"What's wrong? Are you not excited?" Bri asked
"I'm excited its just that I don't want to leave you guys and my friends."
"I know what you mean" they said in unison
Just then Mom called everyone down to eat. It was warm outside so Dad and my uncles set up the picnic tables and patio tables outside. Everyone made a line at the counter got a plate, hotdog, chips, and lemonade then went outside.
I sat with Beth, Bri, Jessica, Amie, Emily, Mary, Shawna, Brooke, and Aubrey.
There was another table with Clayton, Christiana, Nick, Seth, and Madison.
Another with Jack, Brent, Logan, David, Connor, and Caleb.
A fourth with Mom, Sophie, Paige, Chloe, Aunt Carole, Aunt Janice, Aunt Denise, and Aunt Rachel.
Also last one with Dad, Uncle John, Uncle Bill, Uncle Larry, and Uncle Philip.
After everyone was done talking Dad stood up. "As everyone knows we are gathered here to say goodbye to Sadie and Jessica for five long months. They'll be going to Texas to train with their coach Dusty for the Olympics. We all know that Sadie and Jessi both made the Olympic trials which mean they are two of the top twenty-five people in America for gymnastics. I would just like to say, congratulations Miss Sadie May Anderson and Miss Jessica Rae Anderson for making the Olympic trials."
Everyone was silent for what seemed like a full minute then everyone started clapping. Beth pushed me up and Amie pushed Jessica up to where we were both standing. I took my sister's hand and we walked to the middle of our family.
