Christmas Gifts

Talia walks downstairs, eating oreos 18:01 

Talia grabs her pack and heads outside 18:06 

Gracie hangs out in her kitchen, working away on Christmas gifts for everyone. 18:09 

Talia walks through the woods 18:10 

Gracie gets out some muffins from the oven and nearly burns her hand. 18:34 

Jo sits in a tree and sketches in her notebook 18:34 

Gracie sighs and sets the pan down. Then she puts a cake in the oven to bake while she puts icing on the cupcakes. 18:34 

Talia yawns as she walks through the woods 18:35 

Talia takes out some oreos from her pack and noms on them 18:36 

Jo erases and tries again 18:39 

Talia cartwheels around and hums 18:40 

Jo yawns and keeps sketching 18:42 

Gracie puts cream cheese icing on the velvet cake cupcakes. 18:50 

Jo falls asleep 18:52 

Talia hums and wonders where Gracie's new tree house is since she kinda wants to check it out.. 18:53 

Gracie puts a muffin into each tiny basket she's set out. 18:56 

Talia walks past a giant tree house and stops and turns to look at it again.... 18:57 

Talia climbs up the stairs and knocks on the door 18:58 

Gracie flinches and ends up dropping a muffin. "Shit!" Frowning, she goes over to the door and looks through the window, seeing Talia. Then she opens it and says, "Hey!" 19:00 

Gracie smiles. "Well, thank the boys for it! They did most of the work." 19:01 

Jo drops her notebook when she moves in her sleep 19:02 

Talia: It's pretty cool 19:03 

Gracie: Wanna come in? I'm baking food. 19:03 

Talia: Sure! Food sounds good! 19:04 

Talia goes inside and looks around 19:04 

Jo jumps and yells in her sleep. She falls out of the tree and lands on her back 19:06 

Jo face palms 19:06 

Talia: Cool 19:06 

Gracie walks over to the kitchen and cleans up the cupcake she dropped. 19:08 

Jo rolls onto her side and gets to her feet 19:09 

Talia: Ooooh cupcakes! 19:10 

Talia skips over and steals one 19:10 

Gracie swats Talia's hand and takes it back. 19:10 

Gracie: Not 'till Christmas! 19:10 

Talia: Mehhhhh 19:10 

Talia: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!! 19:12 

Talia takes one 19:12 

Gracie checks the oven and closes it again when the cake doesn't seem to be done. 19:13 

Talia noms on the oreo brownies 19:13 

Talia: Mmmmmmmmmmmm soooooo good!!! 19:13 

Jo starts sketching again 19:15 

Gracie: I know. I cooked them, so obviously they'd be awesome. 19:15 

Talia laughs. "Sooo what do ya wanna do?" 19:16 

Gracie shrugs. "I gotta make sure this cake is done, but that shouldn't take long, I think. Everyone's gonna dine well on Christmas." 19:18 

Talia grins "Cool! I still gotta figure out all those presents..." 19:18 

Jo starts a list of ideas 19:19 

Gracie: Well, I'm not getting something for everyone. I think the food will suffice. Although, there is a few special gifts for some people. 19:21 

Talia: Same 19:22 

Jo stuffs her notebook in her pack and starts walking 19:22 

Gracie checks on the cake again and sees that it's not done, so she continues frosting the cupcakes. "I especially want to get gifts for Lilly, Andrea, Jo, and Derrick." 19:25 

Talia: I thought Lilly left? 19:25 

Jo hums as she walks 19:26 

Gracie: She did, but if she comes back I'll have it ready for her. 19:27 

Talia: Ohh okay, I guess that's smart. I dunno who I am getting gifts for... besides Chris anyways 19:30 

Gracie nods. "I just don't want anybody to feel left out. That's why I'm making the little pastry baskets." 19:31 

Talia nods "I might get something for Sierra, even though we aren't the best of friends, she's been locked up in her room and I feel bad." 19:32 

Gracie wonders if Sierra ever ate those snickerdoodles. 19:33 

Jo spots the treehouse up ahead 19:34 

Talia: Oh! And deffinately something for Anna 19:34 

Gracie: I might make another dress for Zoe, although she's been acting odd lately... 19:36 

Gracie shrugs and finishes decorating the cupcakes. 19:36 

Talia: What do you mean? 19:37 

Jo looks up at the treehouse 19:37 

Jo: Gracie, you up there? 19:37 

Gracie: I don't know. She just doesn't want to talk to me as much, I guess. 19:38 

Gracie hears a voice and walks to the door. "Uh, hello?" 19:38 

Jo: I have the locking system if you still want me to install it 19:38 

Gracie: Oh, awesome, Jo! Come on in if you want! 19:40 

Jo: Let me set this up first 19:40 

Talia sits down on one of the chairs 19:41 

Gracie: Okay! 19:41 

Jo pulls the tools from her pack and starts setting up the system 19:42 

Talia yawns 19:46 

Jo finishes setting up the system 19:46 

Jo: Okay, I think it's good now 19:46 

Gracie licks some icing off her index finger. "Okay! Thanks, Jo!" 19:47 

Talia: Is the cake done yet?? 19:47 

Jo walks towards the sound of Talia's voice 19:48 

Gracie shakes some flour off her shirt and sees that the cake is finally done, so she pulls it out and another whiff of freshly baked bread fills the air. 19:51 

Jo: Hey Talia 19:52 

Jo shrugs. "It's okay. Fell out of a tree again. How goes it with you?" 19:53 

Talia: Good I guess. Been kinda boring around here 19:54 

Gracie plays some music to listen to while puts some brownies in the oven and then she frosts the cake. 19:59 

Talia dances around 20:01 

Jo sits down 20:02
