"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.
