Signs of life

We are starting to see

some signs of life

under our Christmas tree.

The kids have been

busy, busy, busy

doing chores to earn money

to buy gifts for each other.

We took them all to the store

one night

and split up.

And they had so much fun

picking out the perfect present

to give the others.

Then, they couldn't wait

to start wrapping.

Each one took a turn

in the wrapping (laundry) room.

As the wrapped gifts appeared

under the tree,

the excitement spread

through the whole house.

Christmas is coming!

We can hardly wait.
