"When are we going to open our gifts?" asked Dawn.
"Dad said we're going to eat first before we can open presents," Mary Anne told her sister.
"Bummer. I'm looking forward for the gifts," said Dawn.
"Just wait patiently like a good girl," joked Mary Anne as we all busted out laughing at the joke.
"That was a good one," said Logan.
"Very funny," said Dawn.
"It was!" exclaimed Logan who was still laughing.
After we had dinner, we were about to start the gifts.
"About time," joked Dawn.
"Then, you can go last for being very naughty," said Mary Anne.
We all laughed again.
"Bummer," mumbled Dawn.
"We can start with the meeting members first," announced Kristy.
"I like that idea," I commented.
"Mary Anne, would you like to go first since the party was your idea?" asked Kristy.
"Makes sense," said Mary Anne.
I gave her my gift first. When she opened it, it was a nice necklace with her name on it.
"Wow! It's beautiful," said Mary Anne.
"I knew you would like it," I said.
"Thanks, Stacey," said Mary Anne.
She loves gifts anytime of the year, especially her birthday and at Christmastime. Actually, we all do. That was when Logan gave hers next. When she opened it up, it was a pretty vase.
"There's more to it," said Logan as he gave her flowers.
"Wow. They're pretty. Thanks," said Mary Anne as she hugged him. "I'll put them in my room later."
"I'll go fill that with water," said Mr. Spier.
"Okay. Thanks, Dad," said Mary Anne.
"I'm next!" said Dawn getting it for her sister. "Here you go."
When Mary Anne got the gift out of the bag, it was a nice blue sweater.
"It's beautiful," said Mary Anne.
"Here you go from me," said Mallory.
When Mary Anne opened that, she had some new headbands.
"Cool. I love the colors. Thanks," said Mary Anne.
"Here's mine," said Jessi.
"Okay," said Mary Anne as she opened it.
It was a new pair of earrings that were blue and yellow checkered. They're her favorite colors.
"Wow. Thanks, Jessi," said Mary Anne.
"Here's my gift," said Claudia.
It was two more pair of earrings that was Christmas colors on them.
"That's you. I made them all by myself," said Claudia.
"Sweet. Thanks," said Mary Anne. "I'll wear them for tomorrow. It's perfect."
"Here is my gift. I dare you to open you," teased Kristy as Mary Anne giggled.
When she opened it, it was a shirt with our group picture.
"Nice," said Mary Anne. "I love it."
"My mom had that made for you," said Kristy.
"Thanks. Tell her I said thank you to her," said Mary Anne.
"I will," promised Kristy.
She opened more headbands with more colors from Lewis. When it was Kayla and Kaylee's turn to give her gift, she noticed it was Cam Geary's new movie. They both knew she's into him because they are, too.
That was when they did a group hug. Dawn was next, and then it was me, Kristy, Kayla, Kaylee, Logan, Mallory, and Jessi.
Kayla and Kaylee loved the gifts that Mary Anne got them.
"Almost matches," said Kayla.
"Yes," said Mary Anne.
"I love the frame," said Kaylee.
"I'm glad you girls enjoy the gifts," said Mary Anne.
The adults and their other children including my mom were last. We had a fun time. The rest of us can't wait for tomorrow to open more presents. It was done longer than 9:00 pm, but we still had a fun time.
"That was the best Christmas Party ever," I said.
"I agree with you," said Mom.
