Chapter 46

They had bought a ton of wrapping paper,so when they got back to the farm,they spent the rest of the night making sure everything was wrapped.Everyone tried to peek into the project in Dallas’s room,but they kept them out by locking the door from the inside.

The presents were done in good time,the same as the grocery shopping and the tree the boys brought in on the twentieth.When the morning of the twenty-fourth broke,the sadness that had been enveloping the farm was almost gone.Everyone,even Sean,was looking forward to the evening’s gathering.

While the wolves and Mikael went to the cemetery to light candles at the graves of Zoya and Mikael’s parents,the rest of the farm family was preparing for the evening.

Dallas and Maxim went to get another table and chairs from the old house so that they would have seats for everyone.The previous years,both old and new house’s residents had had their Christmas dinner in their separate houses for space.
