“What about Matt coming up and greeting Ashley like a little puppy the other day.”  Spencer said with a light push to her younger brothers shoulder.  The boy put down his device and joined the conversation.  

“Right Spence cause you were so smooth.”  He teased back.  “Wanna kiss?”  He said, referring to the chocolate incident.  

“Ooh!”  Aiden said covering his mouth out.  We were howling.

“Alright guys smile!”  Aunty Lisa said coming up with her Nikon.  We all squeezed closer to each other.  To bad Klutz misjudged the distance from one couch to another he landed on his back feet in the air.  The picture ended up candid with all of us cracking up.  Those type of photos are the best.  There’s no ‘put on a fake smile for three seconds so we can take a fake memory’, it was just us being our crazy selves.

Soon we were all dinning in the living room laughing.  Even paula who I suspect still didn’t like me all to much.  Thats ok.  It was only a matter of time.  

Spencer sat by me with her hand casually locked with mine.  It was natural.  

I have to admit this was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time.  I didn’t even think about it when I leaned over and quickly planted a kiss on her temple.  No one noticed but she blushed.  

“Ooh!  Lets sing a song!”  Aiden suggested practically bouncing in his seat.  

“Your such a girl!”  Kyla commented smacking him lightly with her hand.  I high fived my sister.  

“I think its a good idea.  What should we do?”  Arthur said clapping his hands.

I rocketed off my seat.  “Its A beautiful Morning by The Young Rascals”  

“Aww I love that song!”  Spencer said jumping next to me.  

“Ok lets do it.”  Paula added surprising me.  She looked just as giddy as the next person.  

“One, Two, Three!”  Glen said using his fork as a microphone.

“Its a beautiful Morning!  (Ahhhh)  I think I’ll go outside for awhile.  And jus’ smile!  Just take in some clear fresh air boy…”
