“ Momma! When are we going to Maw maw’s?” I bugged my mom as we cleaned up the living room from the ocean of wrapping paper.
“At lunch, now go get ready!” My mom yelled from her bathroom. I finished with the living room and went to my bedroom to slip on my Ugg snow boots. It was 11:30 as we headed out, across the street.
As my dad stopped the car I jumped out and banged on my grandparent’s backdoor. I saw my tall grandfather, Diddy answer the door. We all pilled in with presents and food in hands. It was the first “real” Christmas with my grandparents. Usually one of them comes over a few days before Christmas and we exchange gifts, but this year, finally it was different. We started with the gifts. As my sister looked at her’s and I looked at mine, my mom said “ What are y’all waiting for? Open them!”
My sister and I exchanged looks as we tore open the bags from my grandma, gently folded in mine was some pajamas, and a fifty dollar bill. Then we saw my grandpa’s gifts. We ran over to the table, the shiny wrapping shined in the light.
“Woah. Heavy!” I said laughing. Kylie (my sister) and I ripped open the shiny paper, to find each an I pad! We were so excited, we were so grateful for what both our grandparents’ gave us, so we finished the next five hours with snacks of different genres. It was out first “real” Christmas as a huge crazy family, and hopefully, more will come!
