Life with 4 brothers

Christmas

Last night i set my alarm early for 1 reason and 1 reason only, it was Christmas! 

I leaped out of bed and sprinted down stairs and saw everyone was there except Jacob. Huh weird. 

But, on the other hand, that just means its my job to wake him up. 

I ran back upstairs and around the corner to the room he was staying in. He was sleeping on an extra bed in Jackson's room. 

I saw him peacefully sleeping under the covers, Gross. 

I snuck up behind him and jumped on the lump laying under the covers "WAKEY WAKEY JAKEY JAKEY!!" I shouted in his ear.

 He shot out of bed and pinned me against the ground. One thing i forgot, he was a cop. So it probably wasn't a good idea to scare him with all his police training.

 Once he realized it was just me, he picked me up and trapped me under all the blankets so i couldn't move. Then he did the thing i hated the most.

 He started tickling me all over the blanket "JACOB STOP -IM SORRY NOHOHOHO" I managed to say through my laughter. 

He continued for another minute, but when he saw my face turning red, he let me up.

"Dont do that again or this will happen. I could have hurt you if i didnt know it was you. Merry Christmas baby". 

I shoved him and he laughed at my annoyed state. Then he pushed me out the door so he could get ready.

 I rolled my eyes and brushed it off and went to my room to get dressed.

 I put on a Christmas hoodie and sweatpants and walked downstairs for the second time today.

 I was the last one downstairs and Caleb was here. 

I ran and leaped onto Lucas's shoulders "MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU UGLY JACKASS!" I yelled directly in his ear. 

He spun around, grabbed me off his shoulders, and placed me right in front of him 

"I would normally throw you in the pool if you did that on a regular day but right now im feeling festive. Dont, put me in a bad mood" He whispered. 

He put me on him shoulders and carried me over to the breakfast table. Jackson got up and kissed me on the head "Merry Christmas Princess!" He said happily. 

The rest  of them wished me merry Christmas normally (Except Mason, who put me in a headlock and didn't let me go till i actually couldn't breathe)

 I went and sat with Ellie and we put on a Christmas movie while Jackson made breakfast.

 Finally Jackson finished and called us in for breakfast. I LOVE when someone has a birthday or when its Christmas because those are the only days were allowed to eat meals on the couch!

 We came into the kitchen so we could help bring the food to the living room so we could  eat on the couch. He made Christmas tree shaped pancakes with whipped cream. It smelled heavenly!

 We all gathered in the living room couch and started eating.

 But then i had an idea. It was a stupid idea and i should have known that but i was feeling mischievous. I grabbed a can of whipped cream and snuck behind the couch. 

I sprayed the entire can of whipped cream all over Griffins head. His head slowly turned around to face me. Thats, when i knew i fucked up.

 He jumped over the couch and tackled me to the ground! 

"DOG PILE!!" I heard someone call, probably Dylan.

 Griffin pinned me to the ground and i got very scared. 

But before he could do anything to bad like punch, tickle, or hit me, everyone started to jump on Griffin who was on top of me for dog pile. 

First Dylan piled on, then Caleb, mason and Lucas, then Jacob and Jackson. Ellie decided not to participate, thank god. 

I groaned from all of the weight. Why did i ALWAYS have to be on the bottom?! 

Finally, after what felt like forever, they all got off and we continued to eat breakfast while Mason and Lucas took turns hitting each other when the other one wasn't looking. 

Caleb and i looked at each other and laughed at their stupidness. Caleb wasn't much better than them though...

 After we were done, we sat down to open presents. We opened them in order from oldest to youngest. So Jackson got his anonymous present first. 

He opened it up and saw that he had gotten tickets to a 49ers game. 

He smiled so wide and i couldn't help but guess who had gotten him it "Wait was this from Jacob?" 

Jacob chuckled and shook his head. 

"Nah it was me" Mason said. Jackson walked over and put him in a headlock saying thank you. We continued opening the gifts.

 Heres a quick summary: Ellie got Lucas a PS4 (which let me tell you got him so happy) :Lucas got Caleb a new football: Jackson got Jacob airpods: Jacob got Ellie a new makeup-bag (probably so she would stop harassing HIM to buy her some). 

Finally it was time for Mason to open the present i got him. He opened it up and saw a new iphone with the word "Mason" engraved in gold letters. I could tell he loved it 

"Was it from Caleb?" he grinned. 

"It was me!" I yelled. He ran over and gave me a big hug saying thank you at least 37 times. 

Finally i realized that i was the last one to open up my present. It was a small box under the tree but that didn't matter since i knew small things could mean a lot. 

I quickly snatched it up and opened it. It was a silver necklace with my full name, Lillian (picture of necklace is on top of page). 

I started to tear up because it already meant a lot to me. I looked around to guess who it was from but i saw only one person left. 

Caleb smiled at me and i ran over to give him a massive bear hug "merry christmas shorty" he whispered. 

After thanking him a thousand times i ran over back to my phone and saw 1 message from Chris's phone number. 

It read "Will you go out with me?"

 My heart stopped.

Heres another update! Fun fact about me is that im Jewish, so ive never actually celebrated Christmas rather than Hanukkah. I hoped i described Christmas well even though ive never experienced it. Please let me know it i wrote something wrong about it wrong! Stay safe everyone :)
