Awesome Christmas Memory

It was a blustery snowy morning as I rushed downstairs to open presents with my brothers. That year we had a 7 foot tall tree that brushed the ceiling. We all sat down on the couch and started passing out presents. My dad passed me two rectangular parcels and in them were two boxes of four-ten shells. My dad smiled and said, “we are going to use them when we borrow Dakota's four-ten.” My brother passed me a great big present and as I gleefully ripped the paper I saw a gleaming black barrel. As I pulled out the barrel to bring out the rest of what was in the box my heart was pounding. Sitting on my lap was a new gleaming four-ten. My dad looked at me with a big smile on his face and said, “I got it for you bud.” That day I will never forget standing out on my front steps shooting cans with my brand-new gun.
