Liv and I are sleeping when Ashley comes into our room and jumps on the bed to wake us up.

Oliver: What the hell Ash.

Liv: Now I see why you hate it so much when I wake you up that way.

Ashley: Come on guys wake up it's Christmas morning.

Oliver: C'mon Ash let us sleep a little longer?

Ashley: No Santa came guys.

Oliver: Ashley, you're 18 years old please tell me you don't believe in Santa still.

Liv: Leave her alone Oliver it's Christmas. She's just excited.

Ashley: I just want you guys to see your presents that's all.

Jackson: Fine we're up. Let me grab a shirt and we'll be right down.

Ashley: I'll be downstairs with everyone.

Liv and I got out of bed and we go brushed our teeth and then we back into the room to get dressed. We went downstairs and went into the living room and everyone sitting around the tree.

Oliver: Since Ashley got everyone up super early. Who's ready to open some presents?

Ashley: I am, but I want you to open mine last.

Oliver: Okay, I'll start off first I guess.

I have a small box and I handed it to Steven.

Oliver: This gift is for the whole family and Michael. I hope you guys like it.

Steven unwraps the box and then opens it and when he does Ashley freaks out.

Ashley: No way, seriously Uncle Ollie?

Steven: Holy crap dude, you got us front row tickets to Wrestle Mania this is awesome.

Oliver: That's not all, you guys also have tickets to all the events and backstage passes to Raw and Smackdown.

Brittany: This is awesome, you didn't go through too much trouble for these did you?

Oliver: Nope, perks of being close to the boss.

Brittany and Steven gave Liv and I our present and they got us both coffee cups mine says I like her butt and hers says I like his beard. Then they also got us tickets to go see Ed Sheeran in Miami in January. Now it was time for Liv and I to exchange gifts.

Oliver: Remember how I almost ruined Thanksgiving?

Liv: Yes, you were online buying more toys.

Oliver: Wrong, I was actually getting you this.

Liv opened the gift and it was a frame with a heart made out of the stars from the night we became a couple. It said "The night I knew you were the one. 7/27/2019 I pinky promise to love you forever and always"

Liv: I love it Jackson.

Oliver: I'm glad you do but I think you'll love your next present even more.

I handed Liv the box and when she opened her jaw dropped. I gave her a necklace with a diamond G for a pendant.

Liv: This is beautiful thank you so much.

Oliver: It took a lot for me to give that up.

Liv: What do you mean?

Oliver: That necklace belonged to my mother. I found it while I was moving stuff around in the house, I almost forgot that I had it. When I found that necklace I knew we were meant to be together.

Liv kissed me.

Liv: These are amazing gifts but I already have the best gift I could have ever gotten right here.

Oliver: I love you.

Liv: I love you more. Now open your presents.

Liv hands me a small box and when I opened it there was a necklace that had a heart pendant on it with a picture of Emma and I and it was wrapped with angel wings.

Oliver: Babe this are amazing, thank you so much.

Liv: I'm glad you liked it. I have one more for you.

She hands me a giant box and when I opened it there was a custom guitar. She even got it engraved it said "To my Rockstar Merry Christmas Love G xoxo"

Ashley: Alright Uncle Oliver now it's time for my gift to you.

I open it up and it's a picture board filled with pictures from throughout my life. Picutres of Emma and I, Ashley and I, Brittany, Liv, Ruby, Sarah, Zack and Curt, Daria. There was a quote about famiy in the middle of it. Everyone exchanged their gifts and we had a great time.

Brittany: Okay, so what are we going to do now?

Oliver: Oh crap I forgot I have another present for Ash.

Ashley: What is it?

Oliver: It's a surprise, close your eyes.

I signaled over to Michael to get into position and then I went over and put my arm around Liv and hugged her.

Liv: (whispering) Is he going to propose?

Oliver: (whispering) Yup.

Oliver: Okay Ash open them.

As soon as she opens her eyes she puts her hands on her face in shock.

Michael: Ashley Marie Johnson. I love you so much and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?

Ashley: Yes.

The kids kissed and we all cheered them on.

*Later in the day*

We went outside and played in the snow for a while. Then we came in to warm up and spent the day just chilling around the cabin. We lit a fire in the fireplace and just sat around in the living room talking when Liv said something that broke my heart.

Liv: Can I say something?

Brittany: Of course.

Liv: I just wanted to thank you guys for letting me come on vacation with you. I never have been on a vacation before.

Oliver: Are you being serious?

Liv: Yeah, my dad died before I was born and I have 5 brothers and sister so we never really had the money to go on vacations. I sacrificed a lot so I could help my mom. It just means a lot to me that you guys all love me enough to let me spend not only a vacation with you but Christmas as well.

Oliver: You don't have to thank us babe. You're part of our family now.

*Later that night*

We're all getting ready for bed and as Liv and I are walking to our room she stopped and I bumped into her.

Oliver: Why did you just stop?

Liv: Look up.

Oliver: We're under the mistletoe.

Liv: We sure are, you know what that means don't you.

I pulled Liv in close to me and gave her a kiss.

Liv: Merry Christmas Oliver.

Oliver: Merry Christmas beautiful.

Liv: I have one more present for you. You have to close your eyes though.

I sat down on the bed and closed my eyes.

Oliver: Just tell me when to open them.

A few minutes later I heard Liv come back into the room.

Liv: Okay you can open your eyes now.

When I opened my eyes I saw Liv standing there in some sexy lingerie and she had a bow on her.

Oliver: I like this present.

Liv: Well are you just going to sit there or are you going to come unwrap your present?
