Mrs. Dolan hands Ani, Ethan, and I ornaments as we put it on the tree.
"That's the last one." She says closing the bucket.
"That is perfect!" Grayson yells as he plugs in the Christmas tree lights.
"Grayson stop yelling in my ear!" Ethan says.
Ani, Mrs.Dolan and I laugh.
We start putting all the gifts that everyone brought for tomorrow under the tree.
"The popcorn is done!" Cameron comes with a bowl of popcorn in her arms along with Maria and Alondra with their bowls.
"It needs more butter" Jake says chewing on the popcorn.
Kian and Cameron watch TV with Mr. Dolan.
"Okay put it on!" Grayson jumps on the couch.
"Home alone!" Ethan yells.
We all get comfy and watch Home Alone.
—————
The next day we wake up with popcorn scattered everywhere.
"Merry Christmas." I whisper to Ethan.
A smile appears on his face as he stretches.
"Good morning beautiful." He hugs me.
"Ani, Merry Christmas " I try waking my sister up.
She rubs her eyes and smiles.
"Mewwy Chwismas" she tries saying.
—————
By now everyone is up.
All the girls help Mrs. Dolan make breakfast as the boys sit down waiting around.
"I'm not your slave, go get your own plate." Cameron tells the boys.
They laugh and get up to serve themselves.
"Hey Val." Ethan calls me.
I turn to look at him as I flip the pancakes.
"Serve me?"
Cameron looks at me making sure I don't serve Ethan.
"You heard the lady." I smile and look at Cam to see her smiling back.
"Yeah E, we had to serve our selves, you can do it too." The boys laugh.
Ethan groans and serves himself.
"I'm gonna punish you later on" he whispers in my ear.
He sits down and smirks at me.
He's so booty hurt.
"Can we open our pwesents now?" Ani asks as she takes one last bite of her pancake.
"Umm you'll have to ask mrs. Dolan" I say.
"Of course honey, let's go open them now!" Mrs. Dolan reaches her hand out to Ani.
Ani and Mrs. Dolan giggle as they run to the Christmas tree.
"Me too!" The boys get up running to the tree.
"Such losers!" Cam says.
Alondra and Maria laugh.
I shake my head laughing at the sight of them running like little boys.
Especially Ethan.
—————
We're all by the Christmas tree.
"This is for you Ani." Mrs.Dolan hands Ani a gift.
Ani opens it to reveal a gold and bluish butterfly necklace.
