Molly and Ellie: – No!!!
Ellie: – We want to open presents first.
Mom: – Ok, but I’m first.

Mom: – I think I heard something on the roof late last night when all of you had fallen asleep.
Molly: – Come on you guys, we know it’s you.
Dad: – It wasn’t us. I heard someone say in the night “Ho, Ho, Ho”.
Ellie: – Come on, stop fooling around, let’s open the presents.
