Avery's Pov:

I woke up this morning to nineteen pink and mint green balloons in my bedroom. I was finally nineteen, but sadly I had to go to class. I only had one class today, so that made it better. I got changed into a mint green romper and my brown sandals, going into my bathroom. I brushed my hair, putting it into two French braids. My mom came into my room, carrying a vanilla doughnut with pink icing and strawberries. I sprayed myself with warm vanilla sugar body spray before going out to my room. My mom handed me the plate, before gently kissing me on the forehead. I ate the doughnut, before going downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. On the counter, was an iced coffee with a sticky note attached to it. 

Avery,

Happy birthday sweetheart. I love you and hope you have a great day.

Love,

Mom <3.

I took the coffee off the counter, grabbing my bag off of the kitchen chair. I grabbed my car keys and wallet off of the counter, going out to the garage. I got into the car, opening the garage door up via the button. I pulled out of the garage, driving to my college class.

Adaline's pov:

Lily-Ella and I were currently out shopping for Christmas presents, while Magnolia was at work. I gently placed the baby carrier into the top of the shopping cart, going to the aisle where the boxes were, since I was making each family member a box for Christmas. I placed seven boxes into the cart, since that's how many I'm making. I then, went to the paint section to get paint for each box. Lilac for Magnolia, mint green for Lily-Ella, pink for Katie, Magnolia's stepsister, blue for my dad, green for my sister, red for Magnolia's dad, and yellow for Magnolia's stepmom. 

I placed each paint bottle into the corresponding box, before I went to find things for each person. I even got a book of scrapbook paper and a roll of twine, so I could do cute little banners on each. I went to checkout, scanning everything, before paying. Thankfully, Magnolia wasn't home, so I could sneak the boxes downstairs to the basement. I took Lily-Ella out of the baby carrier, taking her into the kitchen, placing her into her high chair. I went into the fridge, grabbing a pack of cubed cheese and some blueberries. I put them onto a tiny plate, placing it onto the top part of the high chair. I grabbed a sippy cup out of the cabinet, pouring juice into it, before setting it into the cup holder of Lily-Ella's high chair.

Georgia's pov:

Emma and I walked down the sidewalk, heading to our math exam. I held her hand that was very cold since it was finally winter here.I held the door of the math building open, letting her go in first. I walked in behind her, shutting the door. We walked into the classroom that our math exam was to be in, sitting down quietly. I took out my mint green graphing calculator and a pencil, setting it on top of the table. Eventually, most of our class was here so our professor was able to pass out the exam. I wrote my name at the top, beginning to start my exam. 

*an hour later*

Finally, Emma and I were finished with our math exam. We turned them in, before leaving the room. Honestly, I was glad that I was done all of my math classes. Emma and I went to the local cafe, ordering two hot chocolates. Once we got back to our apartment, we both packed up our backpacks, since we are going home until January 10th, when our classes start back up. I took our bags down to the car, while Emma took the trash to the dumpster.

Penelope's pov:

I sat in my homeroom teacher's class, working on my math homework. Daisy, my sister, sat across the room, putting together her project. For English, we had to create a weekly journal for two weeks and include pictures. My favorite that I have seen so far was definitely Sophia Panzarella's. It was outstanding by far. After I finished my math homework, I took my project out of my bag, tying the ribbons together.

*in English class*

We each individually went and showed our teacher our projects. Personally, I think mine was very boring because I didn't really do anything. Sophia's was definitely my favorite at this point, because it had tons of pictures. Since she made her project using a literal journal, her cover had pictures on it too. After turning in our projects, we began our new book. We were beginning to read Eleanor and Park which I haven't read before, but my sister probably has. My teacher handed me my copy of the book, before handing me a worksheet full of questions. I opened up my planner, writing down to read chapter one and answer the questions.

Brooke's pov:

I sat in my house, as my siblings came in. my mom came downstairs, carrying boxes of presents. I sat on the floor, as my mom sat the presents in front of us. We were doing Christmas early, because Liv was going to Italy with Hudson and Nathan was going to Toronto. After we opened our presents, I went out to the kitchen, taking the cookie mix out of the pantry. I preheated the oven, before preparing the cookie mix. I scooped the cookies onto the baking sheet.
