Nine days til' christmas! Chapter two

When we arrived, Daniel immediately found the tree he wanted. "I want that one!" He exclaimed. My mom walked over to I, to get a closer look. It was about six feet high, and full of leaves and branches. It was also very green. "Awesome tree, Daniel!" I rewarded. "This looks perfect. Right mom?" she had a big smile on her face. "Yes! Come on! Let's buy it!" After we hooked the tree on the roof of our van, we headed home.

"Here are the ornaments, mom!" I said as I brushed some dust off my clothes. These ornaments had been my Grandma's. We kept them in the attic. "Yay!" Daniel screamed. "Mom, when are we going to pick up John?" John is my younger brother, who is nine years old. He is in an after-school art class. Today, they are making ornaments. "We'll pick him up in ten minutes." My mom said, as she put a golden star ornament on the tree. "Actually" my mom said "Let's go now. They are finishing early today." "Let's go!" Daniel and I both said. "Jinx!"

FFF and a story.

Sorry I was late for FFF. I need an alarm clock to help remind me! I am just very busy. I was busy with schoolwork. Soon it will be my Christmas break for two weeks! Ten days till' Christmas! I am going to do part of a story, everyday until Christmas. Here goes!
 
Chapter one:
To the Christmas tree farm we go.

"Allie!" My mother called, from the front door. I was in my room, hustling into my favorite jacket, while reading a book. "Coming!" I said back. finally I zipped up my jacket. A black one with hot pink, and sky blue scribbles (If you watched the LEGO movie, you know what I mean) I grabbed my hat and mittens. I couldn't wait to get in the car. We were going to the tree lot, to buy a Christmas tree. I ran out of my room, with my book in my secret inside pocket. I skidded to a stop, by the door. "Reading?" My mom asked, staring at a bulge under my pocket. The book. "Yes" I said. "It is my extra credit book for literature. My mom nodded. "Come on! Let's go get that tree!" Now it was my turn to nod. "Where's Daniel?" I asked. I looked around for my six  year old brother. "He is already in the car." My mom said, as we walked to the car. Daniel loves getting out of the house. I skipped to the car, and stopped at the door of the passenger seat. Daniel started singing jingle bells, as I buckled up. "Hi Allie!" he said. "Hey, little Dan." I replied. "I am not little!" He said back as He closed his eyes tight, turned his head to the side, stuck out his tongue, and crossed his arms. Mom and I stifled a laugh.
