Sprout was skipping home. She was excited because winter-break started! When she arrived home, she called out for her dog. Her miniature Goldendoodle, Sammi came running up. She went into the kitchen and heated up some milk for hot cocoa. About 5 minutes later her mom arrived home. She came in with a lot of grocery bags. “Mom! What happened!!” Sprout said. Her mom caught her breath and said, “There is a storm coming tonight and we have to be prepared!”, Sprout sighed and offered her mom some hot cocoa. Her mom graciously accepted and smiled at her. “It won’t be so bad! We can watch Christmas movies and make a gingerbread house!” she said. Sprout started to smile a bit. “Can we make double-fudge brownies?” she said. “Duh!” her mom said. Sprout ran upstairs into her bedroom and grabbed her cookbook. “This will be fun!” she thought and ran downstairs with dreams of Christmas movies and gingerbread.
