Clan Gathering of 2013 - Part 1

By: *Sammi*

Lexie walked down the grand stairs of Glenbogle house, balancing the clubby little two year old on her hip, she ruffled his thick black hair he chuckled. "Now where are them sisters of yours Jamie?" she spoke to him walking towards the kitchen. "Ewan have you seen the …" Lexie called to Ewan "Girls…ahh" Lexie stopped and starred as 3 cheeky faces looked back at her, Megan was now 9, she looked just like Lexie, with bright blue eyes and long fine black hair that fell down below her shoulders. Ashleigh who was now 6 also took after her mother, her hair also black that fell below her shoulders and her little fringe; she also had bright blue eyes. "Ow you're all covered in flour," she said rubbing Megan's face. "Come on upstairs, washed and changed," she said to the girls getting them down from the table. "Sorry Lexie we were making cakes for the gathering" Ewan said looking guilty at the mess they had all made. "Its alright, thanks for amusing them for a while, I've got so much to do!" Lexie said looking around "Maddie? Where have you got to now?" she was still holding wee Jamie. Suddenly Lexie and Ewan turned in surprise at the little out cry on the floor. It was Maddie standing in the middle of the two boys Hamish, who was 7 and Callum who was 5, both the spitting image of Duncan with Jess's bright blue eyes. "Opps!" the boys giggled together.

"Sorry mummy" Maddie's sweet voice spoke back, her dark brown hair which was slightly wavy, came down beside her face. She was covered in flour all over her face, but her big brown puppy dog eyes starred back, just the same as Archie's. Lexie put Jamie down, and Maddie ran to her, "What am I going to do wiv ya?" Lexie said to her youngest daughter as she picked her up. "Oh no! Look you've got flour all over me!" Lexie laughed she put Maddie back down and Maddie took her wee brothers hand and then her mothers and they followed Megan and Ashleigh out of the kitchen.

"Where's them wee terrors that I call my brothers?" Isobel came in the kitchen laughing. She was now 17 and was just as beautiful as Jess, with bright blonde hair that she had up in a ponytail. Jess and Duncan had gone on to have two little boys together, but Isobel loved them dearly and She treated Duncan like a father and even called him dad, as he was the one that had helped bring her up the last 10 years. "Oh look at you two!" Isobel laughed ruffling Hamish's hair. "Well who's looking a pretty lassie today?" Ewan grinned at Isobel as she came in, Isobel laughed she picked up Callum and hung him upside down so that his curly brown hair fell down, he giggled like mad and begged her to stop. "Come on you two, say thank you to Ewan and we best be on our way" she said pushing them forward
"Thank you!" they giggled together and ran out the door.
"Got your hands full there!" Ewan laughed.
"So have you!" Isobel laughed looking at the flour all over the floor as she went out the door. "Oh No Isobel come back this isn't fair!" Ewan shouted after her, all he got in reply was a laugh from Izzy as she walked away...
