Today is Christmas Eve. We are all spending it together. We had our pack Christmas celebration last week, where all the pack members celebrate together. There was a big bon fire, and people were singing Christmas songs and eating marshmallows.

I am meeting Lijahs grandparents for the first time. They were the previous Alpha and Luna, but they don't live in the pack anymore. I really hope they like me.

All of our friend and family are celebrating Christmas together this year.

Lijah and I were waiting outside for everyone to arrive when we got bored and started building a snowman. We even stole some of Aunty Li's carrots for his nose, and some rocks as buttons.

When we were done I couldn't resist saying "Hi, my name is Olaf and I love warm hugs" which resulted in Lijah picking me up in a big hug and spinning me around making me laugh uncontrollably.

As soon as he set me down on the ground, I felt something hard and cold hit my back. I turned around with a big gasp to see my daddy and all his friend and all my friends. When did they all get here?

My daddy threw me with a snow ball. I can see it from the look in his eyes, it was him! He's going down! This resulted in a big snow fight, pups against adults. Lijah threw himself in front of me a few times, so the snow balls would rather hit him then me.

Our battle didn't stop until we heard a car honk. All the moms were standing on the front porch. And we turned to see a few old couples next to their cars. The grandparents have arrived.

Belle tried to run up to her grandparents in excitement, but tripped and fell face first into the snow. Elliot was wobbling past her on his short legs toward our grandparents, not even giving Belle a second glance. While Lijah took my hand in his, quickly making our way to them as well.

My grandma pinched my cheeks talking in a baby voice "look how big you've gotten" I don't think she knows I'm 10 years old already and she doesn't need to do that anymore it really hurts my cheeks, but I can't say that to her, it would hurt her feelings.

When I'm done greeting my grandparents Lijah pulls my towards his grandparents with a big smile on his face "Grammy, Grandpappa, this is Alana, my mate" they already knew Lijah found his mate so they weren't surprised but they were way more excited than I thought.

And apperantly they are huggers, because his grandma pulled me into a big hug 'so tight' I said to Lijah through mind link and a growl left his lips "Grammy, your squishing my mate."

He pulled me out of his grandma's embrace and held me in his arms. Then his mother hit the back of his head "No growling at your grandparents".

He just mumbled a 'sorry' rubbing the back of his head. 'With the years she just starts hitting harder and harder' he tells me through mind link and I can hear hear the disappointment in his voice, I don't even have to look at him to know he is frowning. Which results in me breaking out in a fit of laughter. Leaving his grandparents with a very confused look on their faces.

This results in me getting a slap on the shoulder by my mom "stop mind linking while in other people's company, it's rude" she scolded, making my mouth drop. It's not even my fault, he linked me!

The rest of the day was very uneventful, all of us pups played together upstairs while the adults were talking in the living room.

After dinner I felt so stuffed, I couldn't move. Why do they always have to make so much delicious food for Christmas? After dinner there was so much cake! You can't say no to cake. Zander had cake all over his face, the guys kept laughing at him, but he just kept eating, he could eat a whole cake by himself.

When it was time to open gifts, everyone had big smiles on their faces. Momma helped my pick out daddy's present and daddy helped to pick out momma's.

I got something of everything, toys, soapies, clothes, chocolates, flowers. Everything was so nice, but my favorite gift was from Lijah, he got me a big, big, big, teddy. It is taller than me! It is absolutely gorgeous. It was a black wolf and it reminded me of Wolfie.

I ran up to him giving him lots of kiss on his cheeks hugging him and thanking him. He is so good at giving gifts. I still wear my butterfly necklace everyday.

I just got him a black colored, guy bracelet with a wolf and a butterfly on it, and I showed him I have a similar silver one. And I also got him his favorite basketball team jersey.

When it was getting late we went upstairs to get ready for bed, everything I need to sleep over is permanently in his room. For the amount of times I sleep over it's too much work to pack a bag every time, so I just left a few things here, if I need something I can climb through the window and get it.

When we climbed into bed I cuddled into his side, and he kissed my forehead "goodnight little angel, sleep tight" he mumbled into my hair.

"Goodnight Lijah, goodnight Wolfie." Wolfie and Ana gets jealous and sad when I don't talk to him too, and that puts me and Lijah in a bad mood, so I try to give them both attention.

I love my Lijah and Wolfie, they are the best!

We would sometimes let our wolves take over our bodies, they love spending time together. And sometimes Lijah would shift into his wolf and we would play outside together.

I never thought someone could be this happy, but here I am, over the moon!
