Christmas!!!

Hey All! I hope you had a grand Christmas! Mine was awesome!!! On Christmas morning we got up and opened presents. We didn't go to Church because the Christmas Eve service the night before had been cancelled because of the snow so we thought Church would be cancelled too that day. It felt kind of weird not going at all!

After opening presents we ate breakfast which is always cinnamon buns. Oh by the way, one of my gifts was a new sleeping bag which I really needed! I had one but it was my cousin's and she needed it back. But my new one is soo much nicer than my old one. For one thing, its actually new lol.

In the afternoon, my mom had a nap and my sister and I watched some episodes of The Waltons. We also phoned our Grandma and our Grandparents as well as our Grandpa who lives on the Island.

We went to my Aunt/Uncle/Cousin/Grandparent's house for dinner. My Aunt cooked dinner and it was really good. I opened some presents there too. After dinner (which was a buffet) my cousins, sister and I went sledding in the backyard (except my youngest cousin who was asleep!) That was super fun but unfortunatly we had to leave before we tried our our jump.

I really enjoyed Christmas although I think I'm actually coming down with some kind of cold! Yesterday, my sister and I went sledding which was also lots of fun. It rained last night and is still raining now so I'm glad I went.

Well I'd better go.

Getting Ready For Christmas...

Yesterday, my dad and I went to get a Christmas tree. I know its LATE - but my family always gets one no earlier than the week before Christmas so..we're kind of on time for us. lol. We got a Douglas Fir. We usually get a differant kind but they didn't have it at the place we went. Oh, a tip if you get a real tree for Christmas - they are about fifteen dollors cheaper if you go on the 20th of December or later!

I have also finished all of my Christmas shopping - yesterday as well. So now I'm pretty much prepared for Christmas. I'm actually not that excited this year, I don't know why. It seems sort of weird to think that Christmas is almost three days away!!!

Oh, and we got SNOW!!! We got it on, like Wednesday and it just stayed for a couple days and today it finally snowed again. My mom and I walked to church and my sister and my dad stayed home. After, we walked to The White Spot. I got a Legandary. I also tried their Sweet Potato Fries.

On Thursday my school had a Christmas Party that was SO MUCH FUN!!! Students (and teachers) were allowed to perform - I sang Silent Night. I was really nervous about it but it turned out great and everyone loved it.

My sister and I have been asked to budgiesit (hehe, ya like my word?) while our friends are way for the holidays. They have been here two days and all they have been doing is eating, sleeping, drinking and singing! lol..I guess thats what birds do.

Oh, I really, really, really want a cat for Christmas!!! I've wanted one since I was little but my dad doesn't like them. My mom and I went into a Pet Shop today and saw the cutest little kitty and I was like "Thats what I want for Christmas" but of course my dad still won't let me get one.

I have a feeling I am going to be busy in the New Year...theatre, piano, 4-H, two dance classes, church, youth group and the girl's club I help out with. Plus, fun and exciting (not!) school!!! lol. I am also on the Yearbook committee and I'm a MAL (member at large) for Student Council.

Ok well I guess thats all the news that I have right now.
