A/N Somehow I skipped this one earlier on...
Week 1: Birthday

Giftwrap
The room was littered with balls of crumpled up gift wrap. No less than five empty rolls were scattered across the floor. In the center of the chaos sat Usagi, her face was screwed up in concentration, eyes narrowed and the tip of her tongue peeking out between her lips.
Slowly, carefully, she measured and cut out a sheet of wrapping paper. She placed a box in the middle before freezing for a moment, inhaling deeply. This was her final chance. She had used the house's entire store of gift wrap already as her clumsy fingers never managed to complete the task without tearing the paper. She exhaled and folded up the first corner, her other hand reaching for the tape.
A wail of despair filled the house. Kenji looked up from his newspaper and to his wife who was on the verge of laughter.
"She ripped another one?" He asked incredulously.
"No," Ikuko corrected, face red from her attempt to not laugh at her daughter's misfortune. "She just ran out of tape."
