Adopted By The Shaytards

Chapter 2 | Christmas

Raini
Wake up at 9:30, eat breakfast, then get started on school. Yup, that's basically my routine everyday.

But it's December 19th so we only have one more day of school.

"I'm going to Grandma's house, your father is still home with with you."

"Okay bye mom"

Dad mostly stayed with me, because he only had meetings once a week or less.

I finished editing a video, and put the endslate on it.

I pick up the camera and start vlogging.

"Hey guys, so Mommytard is at grandmas and Bandtard is doing school. Let's go check on her."

I walk to the kitchen, where she is.

Raini is blasting music, and she's singing yet still doing her work.

"Bandtard doing some school work.  Whatcha working on?"

"Well, it's 2, so I'm finishing up some reading questions then I'll be done for the day."

"Okay and tonight we'll put up the tree."

"YAY" She shouted.

I got to Laurie's house, and Carlie and Kayli were already there.

"OK, so pajamas for the girls. How about these?" Laurie flipped her laptop screen around and showed us some.

They were black and in red and green print said Merry Christmas.

"I think Avia, Emmi and Raini would like those."

"Yeah I think Brailee would like these too." Kayli smiled.

Laurie put them in the cart, after putting in sizes. We continued picking out pajamas for everybody else.

After dinner, dad, Gavin and I got the Christmas stuff.

We began setting it up. Avia and Emmi started singing Last Christmas.

I loved the tree. At orphanage, we only had a small tree.

I smiled. This year, to save me from tears, I'll be with a special family.

Christmas Eve
"Hey guys it's bandtard and let's go wake up dad." I whispered into the camera.

Hey, it was sitting on the counter!

"Dad wake up."

"Is this how we're starting the 2014 Shaytards Christmas Special?"

"Yup, I just woke up."

That wasn't really the truth. I've been up for a few hours on my iPad. I was still wearing my black and red pajamas.

"GRANDMA!" All of us kids yelled, running towards her.

Brock slipped on the polished floors, causing him to hit his nose. It started to bleed.

"Aww it's okay Brocki let's go get it cleaned up." I said, picking him up and walking him to the bathroom.

I held a tissue to his nose, and the crying started to stop.

Soon, it stopped and the rest of the family was there. I've said this before, but I'm so excited.

We ate dinner, I was seated next to Emmi and Brock. Those were the two I was closest too.

Yes, Avia is nice, but she's really talkative and sometimes doesn't think before she speaks. I knew a few kids at the orphanage who were like that.
