After all the waiting which felt like a year has passed, we started exchanging presents. So we got in a circle, so it finally came my turn to give the presents to my older cousin Fernando, since he was the one that I had picked out. Before giving him the present I made him dance for it, he's a really good dancer but only when he wants to. We kept on opening presents and towards the end was when I got my present by my uncle Rogelio. I got a blue leather jacket from Forever 21 and lotion and body spray for Bath & Body Works .
