More Of The Davis Family!

Sorry for not posting The Davis Fmaily for a while. But here's some more now to make up for it. Guess what? This is the chapter before the last chapter! Soon I'll start writing the second story.

Chapter Twenty: Snow

The day after they left to go home, it became very chilly outside. And everyone had to wear sweaters inside because it was so cold. The girls knitted scarves and sweaters for the winter.

“Do you think it’s going to snow soon, Evelyn?” asked Sarah.

“Maybe, it’s so cold, it’s bound to!” Evelyn shivered.

“You’re right about that.” She replied. Then the girls laughed together.

“That is a pretty scarf your making.” commented Evelyn.

“Thanks.” Sarah blushed. (She was secretly making that scarf to give to her for Christmas). And she hoped the secret didn’t get out. Sarah was a very good knitter and always did it in the winter. It was always her favorite activity to do when she couldn’t play outside because it was too cold. And the only thing she would be doing else was playing dollhouse (Because Rosie begged her to all the time) and baking cookies.

Evelyn always loved to play the piano. But they never had one. And because of that she was very sad. She tried to hide her sadness and love for pianos but sometimes she just couldn’t help it. So she asked Mama for a piano for Christmas but all she said was, “We’ll see.” even though she longed for a piano she loved being with her family just as much. Though Evelyn knew that piano’s coasted way too much. And Papa even lost his job. She hoped very much that he could find a job without moving. And she hoped he would find a new job very, very soon. Evelyn was very sad she felt like crying, but of course she didn’t. She was a thirteen year old.

“What is wrong?” Sarah asked her when she saw that Evelyn was sad.

“I just hope Papa finds a new job soon, that’s all. Don’t worry.” She answered.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.” then they both went back to knitting. Over in the kitchen Jack and everyone younger than him was making Christmas cookies. Joey, though, wasn’t really making the cookies, because he was only basically just eating the dough. But no one cared because he was a baby. But a person or two chuckled a little bit.

Soon Sarah was getting tired of knitting, and started to make some cookies with them. Everyone wished for snow to cheer them up sometime. But it didn’t come that day.
