After Alice handed out cake to everyone who would eat it (red velvet-I didn't know if it was a joke or because Alice thought it would be pretty, but I didn't ask), Renesmee stared at this gifts, her half-eaten cake in front of her.

"When you're done, Nessie," Jacob whispered in her ear. She continued eating her cake, her eyes locked on her packages. I had to smile at her eagerness. It was like any normal child of five. Although it passed faster than any other child, her life was normal. Or at least mostly so.

She finished her cake and said aloud in a mildly annoyed tone to Jacob, "Okay, I'm done. Can I open them now?" We all laughed.

"Yes, sweetie, you can. But let us hand them to you, okay?" Edward said, taking a seat besides Jacob. Nessie sat in Jacob's large lap, beaming with excitement.

I sat next to the gifts and went to grab one, but Alice stopped me. "No. You have to sit and watch her better. Let us." Rosalie came beside her and grabbed a gift. Alice already had her camera ready. I went to sit on Jacob's other side.

Rosalie handed a package to Nessie. She looked at it, examining it. "To Nessie; Love Tanya, Kate, Garrett, Eleazar, and Carmon." She smiled and ripped open the package. Inside was a beautiful blanket decorated with Eskimo designs. She hugged it tightly. "Pretty!" she exclaimed. She didn't want to let it go when Edward put his hand out to take it to free Nessie's hands for the next package Rosalie held.

"If you don't let go, you can't open the rest!" he teased. The realization hit her and she handed the blanket over to him. He folded it up and put it behind him.

Next was from the Amazons, a beautiful pouch made from animal skins. Everyone sent little trinkets and clothing for her. Of course, she loved it all. Leah gave her a doll, and it made me remember that she didn't really have any dolls. That upset me a little, but when one of Charlie's gifts was a doll, too, I felt better. At least she was going to have a few to make up for lost time.
