spending some time alone

"Come let's take a lot of snaps to make this day special" said Anna, adjusting Alex's phone.

They all smiled looking at the phone. Then they took pictures of food, decorations.

Soon they all started making different expressions for different photographs. They took hundreds of snaps with different editions.

"That's enough, Anna," Alex said, tired of making different poses.

"You have become old." Mike teased as he stood up.

"Well at least i am old." added aunt Sharron as she rubbed her legs that had turned numb.

"Oh mother, do you want to rest. Come, i will take you to the room." he offered but his mother shook her head.

"I won't sleep before singing Christmas songs, me and Anna always sing together. And this time, i have a new daughter to sing with." she added.

"Oh, she couldn't be your daughter, aunt." said Anna abruptly and every face turned towards her.
