It's me and Conner's first birthday together and we had a slideshow of us growing up in separate places, that were so close.
Pictures of us, thought this summer, the spring and winter and if it's possible I inherited my adoptive mothers photography skills.
"Happy birthday little brother and little sister!" Was how I woke up this morning.
Carrie was in Conner's room and Molly was in mine to wake us up.
"Happy birthday little brother and little sister!!!!!" Molly yelled.
We got up and my favorite grandma was in the kitchen fixing Conner and I waffles with ice cream. I told Conner me and grandma had so many good stories to tell about each other and the crazy stuff we did, that he missed out on.
And this year, the girl who used to be my best friend from kindergarten to 5th grade her name is Izzy was at the party today.
"Conner, it's our first birthday together. So I got you something special."
"What is it?" He asked.
I gave him a little wrapped box.
He opened it and inside was a key.
"What this lead to?"
I handed him a big locked box.
"Open it!" I told him.
He unlocked it super fast.
"Oh my god. It's of me and you. all the stuff we did and the stuff we gave each other and pictures and stories and-" he stopped.
"You got me a white girl book? The fault in our stars, really?" He was so confused.
I just laughed.
"I wanted you to read but you never did." I told him.
"Your so sweet." He told me and hugged me.
"What'd you get me?" I asked eagerly.
"A couple of things. Remember how you collected colorful rubber ducks when you were little?"
"Yeah and did grandma tell you that?"
"Yeah. And surprise!" He said as he hands me a big bag.
It was filled with all different color rubber ducks.
"Conner, oh my god just this is the best thing ever!! It gives me so many memories." I told him.
"Oh then I better not give you the rest of your gifts." He laughed.
He gave me a key necklace.
"Oh my god I love key necklaces.... But what does this key go to?" I wondered.
"The Grey family heart."
"Awh that's cute. Okay what else?" I loved birthdays.
He went and got a really big box.
I ripped it open.
"You got me a surfboard... Oh my god I've been wanting to learn how to surf since I was born!" I was so touched by that that I started crying.
"Conner these are the best gifts ever! Thank you so much!"
Don't thank me yet until to see your very last present. It was shipped all the way from California. And trust me you will thank me a million times."
"What is it!" I almost yell.
"Close your eyes, I'm leading you outside."
"My present is outside? Hmm." I was trying to think of what it could be.
"Open your eyes." He told me.
And there was my friend who I hadn't seen in 3 years who moved to California. And I ran up to her and hugged her and was crying and hugged her so tight I probably squeezed the life out of her.
"Makenna. Oh my god." I said with tears streaming down my face.
"I CANT BELIEVE ITS REALLY YOU!" I scream.
"Hi Leigh." She said with that quiet little voice of hers.
"Call me Taylor." I told her.
"Leigh!" I heard another voice.
I turned around, it was Makenna's older sister Kayla.
"Kayla!" I ran up to her and hugged her too.
"I want you to meet my real family. Conner come here! Mom! Dad! Carrie! Molly!"
They all ran to me.
"Makenna, Kayla, these are my parents, and my sisters Carrie and Molly, and my twin Conner."
"Hi! Is your grandma here?" Makenna asked.
"Right here girls. I haven't seen you girls in a long time! It's been lonely in the neighborhood without y'all!"
"We have one more person for you. Turn around." Said my mom
I spun around and I saw my best friend John and his mom.
I started crying my eyes out.
"John, this is Conner, the one I told you about but he turned out to be my twin, so yeah. These are my sisters Carrie and Molly, and my real parents."
Shanna, Austin, Rachel, Ashlyn, Scott, my friend Izzy who I haven't seen since 5th grade, my other friend Grace, and my two long time best friends, Rene and Liza were all at my party.
Me and Conner had the best birthday ever, and it's the first birthday of the Grey twins, when they're turning 14.
But the bad part is, we have to go to school tomorrow, I haven't been to school since I've been a Grey. So tomorrow's my first day.
