The Place Aunt Carol and Uncle Donald's House

The Setup

Merry Christmas! So, we were at Aunt Carol and Uncle Donald's house for Christmas Eve. My dad was dressed up as Santa Claus giving presents out to the kids. So, he gives out the presents and then says, "hey...there's one in here for susan" At which my mature older sister begins to whine "Why does Susan get a present?"

So, Santa (my dad) gives me the gift. The masking tape it was wrapped with was pretty much a dead giveaway that it was from Corey. I opened it up to find a camera case. (which explained why Corey acted so strange when on the way there I said I forgot my camera and he proceeded to call my mom to ask her to bring it for me) Anywho....so, I unwrap the elegantly wrapped gift and find the camera case. And I'm thinking "why would he ask my dad to give this to me?" So, then Corey says, "Check to see if your camera fits." I was in no rush and even stopped to play with my niece. (at this point in the video, corey's face is priceless!) So, anyway, he says it again, to check if my camera fits. And I'm thining, what's the rush? So then, I open the case to put my camera in, and inside was a box. I took it out, opened it up and completely burst into tears. I was soooo happy!!! And obviously I said YES!!!

(We have the whole thing in video for those of you who stopped reading a while ago. This turned into a short novel)
