Hey sorry it's so short I've been busy.I'll try to write more later. Please R&R :)

Sam,David, Ray and Jamie woke everyone up early the next morning.The tired adults trudged into the living room and sunk into the couch and arm chairs.The kids were already busy unwrapping presents.The first part of the morning was spent opening gifts.They had a late breakfast and then Lucy, Ruthie and Annie started making Christmas Dinner.This was one morning that the kids could actually occupy themselves because they had so much new toys.

Mary and her family arrived around 4.Kevin arrived minutes later.More presents were opened.At five their feast was served.Eric said a special grace and then everyone dug into their piled plates of food.Everyone had at least seconds and some people thirds.For dessert there was a number of pies and cookies.Once everyone was full they proceded into the living room for a night of fun and games.The kids fell asleep watching a movie in the living room, toys were scattered everywhere.The adults were in the kitchen talking when Kevin pulled Lucy aside.

K:Come outside with me.

L:Why?

K:Just come on it's a surprise. Lucy grabbed her coat and went out the front door with Kevin.Right in front of the drive way was a carriage being pulled by two horses dressed up as reindeers and a man in a santa suit driving it.

K:Come on.For a little ride. Lucy and Kevin snuggled up in the carriage as the romantic ride started.

It was now January and Ray's first skating show had arrived.She was backstage getting into her costume.Her and the girls in her group were dressed up as girls from the 50s.Annie,Eric, Sam, David, Lucy, Jamie and Kevin sat in the crowd.When the girls skated out Lucy snapped a few pictures.Their routine lasted a few minutes.When they skated off everyone applauded.

When the show was over and Ray had done 2 more performances she went to join the family.When she spotted everyone she ran over to them.She jumped into Kevin's arms.Everyone was kind of surprised.When Lucy started dating they thought that Ray would rebel and hate each man that Lucy went out with, but now out of everyone there she ran into Kevin's arms.Even though she was confused Lucy was really happy that her daughter accepted Kevin.

L:You did a great job sweetie.

R:Thanks.

A:Come on everyone.Let's go home and celebrate.We'll stop at the Dairy Shack and buy ice cream for dessert.

When everyone was celebrating adn having fun that night Lucy knew that her girls finally had a good home.
