"I think someone's awake." Brooke whispered. Lucas looked at the clock.
"It's 7:00. I'm surprised no one else is up." Lucas whispered.
"What do you say we go and do it? Dad did it to us last year. We could have fun. The twins can do it. We can send them in to crawl on the bed." Brooke suggested.
"I've got a better idea. We can put in a Christmas cd and start singing to it." Lucas suggested. At that moment the twins came in.
"Daddy look! I got a basketball!" Mason said as he threw it. It almost hit Brooke's stomach.
"Mason, you know you're not supposed to throw stuff in the house." Lucas said.
"Sorry." Mason said with puppy dog eyes.
"That's ok sweetie. That's a leather basketball." Brooke said.
"Is that why it feels different?" Mason asked.
"Yep. Want to go wake everyone up?" Lucas asked. Both twins nodded and the four of them went upstairs. Lucas quietly up the cd in in and turned it on full blast.

Nathan, Haley, Karen and Andy came out of their rooms.
"Who the hell is singing?" Nathan asked.
Watch your language." Mason said. Everyone laughed.
"It's about time you all woke up." Brooke said.
"I guess so. Mason, get out of the presents." Andy said.
"No. I want to open them." Mason said.
"Mason Lucas. Apologies right now. You don't talk like that to your papa" Lucas said.
"I'm sorry papa." Mason said as he batted his eyes.
"Lucas, he's picked up the puppy dog face from you." Andy said as he hugged Mason.
"I know. Can we open them now?" Lucas asked.
"Ya. Can we?" Nathan asked.
"Yes." Andy said. Mason literally dove into the presents.
"Mason, wait until papa hands you one to open." Brooke said. Mason backed away and everyone sat down.
"To Brooke love Lucas." Andy said as he gave Brooke a present.
"Luke, when did you take them to sears?" Brooke asked. It was a picture of the twins wearing their ravens suits.
"I took them a few weeks ago." Lucas replied.
"To Paige love uncle Nathan and Aunt Haley." Andy said. Paige ripped the paper off.
"BARNEY!" Paige screamed. She pressed his ear and it started to sing.
"Nathan, remind me to thank you later." Lucas said with a look. Half an hour later they had made it through all the presents.
"There's one more." Karen said as she went into the bedroom and came out with a big box wrapped up.
"Mason, this one is yours buddy." Andy aid. Mason ran to the box and unwrapped it.
"A BASKETBALL NET!" Mason screamed.
"That's for your room buddy. That's the only place you can through the balls." Haley said.
"I play now?" Mason asked.
"Sure. Nate, come help me set it up." Lucas said.
"Do you want to play with me?" Barney asked.
"Nathan, you just had to buy that didn't you?" Lucas said.
"Haley's the one that suggested it." Nathan said.
