" ing, ring, ring", went Laura's alarm. She hopped out of bed right away, she knew what day it was. it was already Christmas! She wanted to run downstairs and open all her presents. Sadly she had to wait for everyone to wake up and so far she was the only one. About an hour later Laura was practically bouncing off the walls. Suddenly she heard her mother walking in the hallway and then everyone got up. She was very excited, she could barely get down the stairs. Finally she was already under the tree getting all her presents together. When she got them all in a pile she was pretty much just dieing to rip that paper. She was just waiting for her mom to finish taking all the pictures. Finally the pictures were taken and Laura sure was ready to open her presents. When she was shaking one of her prsents she heard a slight wimper and she was curious because for one it was just a big cardboard box not even wrapped, secondsomething was moving inside it. She was a little nervous but when she opened it you'll never guess what she found. Inside was a cute little Black Lab puppy and it wouldn't stop licking her face. That was the best Christmas Laura ever experienced. Now the puppy is 2 years old and full grown. <

The End
