"Hurry up baby!" My mom calls across the hallway.
"I'm almost done!"
We were going on a visit to my Grammy, the constant snowing had let up for a couple days so it was the perfect time to make the trip to the city to pay her a Christmas visit before the roads got blocked off by snow.
The dinner was in two days and I've been too busy to remember to be nervous, I had gone shopping with my mom for decorations and to get gifts for my Grammy and Aunt.
I hurry out, my mom's impatience nearly palpable, we would spend a night at my Grammy's place and I hoped we didn't get snowed in, I had to be back in Pine Creek really soon.
My mom wraps a knitted scarf around my neck when I come down to the living room and places a loud smacking kiss on my cold nose which I rub because it tickles, scrunching up my face.
"Ready, baby?" She asks, grabbing the suitcases and bags which are ridiculously plenty considering we would be coming back later tomorrow. "Did you carry your gifts?"
