This is me.






This is us blowing out our Jesus' birthday cake.





This is my sister, Rebekah, with her friend, Alice.






This is our Christmas cookies from last year. We aren't doing them this year.

Christmas Post 2!

I am almost done with my presents! I just have 2 1/2 more to go! I've done my dad's, my Grampa's, my Grandma's, my siblings', my Grandmommy's, and my Papa John's! This is going to be a wonderful year! My Grandma, Grampa, and my Aunt Shelly are coming over for Christmas! I asked my parents for Heelys, but I'd like a fun Christmas morning with family, and a cool Christmas party with friends! We are doing a White Elephant (don't know why it's called that) gift exchange and a fun party at Co-Op (school for homeschoolers)! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy Birthday, Jesus! You are turning 2008 years today! Wow! I haven't even been alive for twelve years, much less 2008! Bye!

CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm so happy that Christmas is almost here and we only have one week of school left until Christmas break! The bad thing is (again with the bad things), I haven't finished my presents! I need to go shopping! Soon! But I should probably relax, after all, it is thirteen whole days away! I have plenty of time to make my stuff. The thing I want most is Heelys for Christmas. I tried my friend's Heelys (which are three sizes small I might say), and I learned how to use them really quick. Leah and Arthur want Heelys, too, but Rebekah doesn't.

So, again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
