Christmas Ornaments

My mom gave me the idea to post some pictures of my favorite Christmas ornaments. Every year I get an ornament that represents what I was into that year.

One year I was into Ice Skating,



Gymnastics,


Ballet,


Cinderella
I got these two at an art show.




This is from when I was 1 year old!

Christmas Day!!!!!

I woke up Christmas morning at 7:00 a.m. to find that everyone was still asleep. I tip toed past my parents room and up the steps to wake up the boys. I tried Ben first. I told him that Santa had come and left a giant present but he would have to come down stairs to find it. He told me to go away. I tried Gabe next. He got up, came downstairs, and then threw up all over the floor! So then, I threw some towels over it and got my parents.They took care of Gabe. I went back up stairs and told Luke that his stocking was empty, that didn't work. He finally got up, so I turned up the radio really loud and saw my dad's phone up there. He must have forgotten to get it before he went to bed. I made a Christmas morning video that got ruined by screaming brothers.When every one finally got up at about 8:30 we ate a delicious breakfast of muffins. Then we went over some of the names of Jesus and what they mean. After that our grandparents arrived.Then we opened presents!!!! Every year we each draw names of siblings, then we buy a present for that sibling. I got Sarah! I bought her a Lady Bug Popping toy.
She's a great present opener! Every year I get my mom some kind of cute kitchen tool. So far she has an egg man whisk, a potato man potato peeler, a chef man pastry brush, and this year, a chef man pizza cutter!!!
I got my dad a pair of exercising gloves! Jaden got alot of Mickey mouse stuff. He is a huge fan of Mickey mouse!

Luke and I had a present to both of us! We opened it and it was a note!! Here's what it said,
We both ran as fast as we could to the garage, here's what we saw!!!!
We both had new bikes that were our size. Before we shared my bike from when I was little.
Our Paw got a Panera Bread gift card!!!!
Then it was time to open Santa presents, the little boys got a train table and the older kids got DJ HERO, and the DJ HERO guitar!! It was a great Christmas!!!

My 11th Birthday

Two days ago was my birthday, but we went out to eat on Sunday after church at my parents favorite Mexican restaurant. My parents told our waiter that my birthday was the next day, so they came to our table with a huge foam hat and a Mexican desert and sang a Spanish version of "Happy Birthday". Oh, and then after they sang they tried to feed me the desert but I wouldn't open my mouth, so then they put it up my nose!!!!!
The next day I woke up and it was my birthday!!!!! I took a brake from everything, making my bed, showering, school, making any food, and yes, brushing my teeth.

Before we left for birthday dinner Ms. Amber came to our house with a box. Inside the box was a giant princess cupcake from Gi Gi's Cupcakes!!!! Yummy!!!! Thank you Ms. Amber!!












Then we went to Birthday Dinner. I chose Fazoli's!! It was really yummy!!











After dinner we loaded up in the van to look at Christmas lights!

This one was by far the best! We all thought it looked just like a ginger bread house! Does it not?

When we got home it was time for cake and presents!!!


After cake I opened the presents. This year I wanted some clothes. I got just I wanted!
I wanted a silky shirt, leggings, and this pair of cute high heels.

I had a really great 11th birthday!!!!

My Christmas Wish

I think snow is a wonderful thing. It's soft, pure, white, and just plain beautiful!!!!! How I wish we could get some real snow. Every year we get like an inch of snow. I wish we got 20 inch's of snow!!! Just imagine it, a mountain of snow, a field of snowmen, a palace of snowgirls, a park full of snowdogs. Well, I guess maybe not the snowdogs! If you know me, you know about me and dogs!!!! We don't really mix!!!!!

Anyways, my Christmas wish is that for just this one year, (or maybe next year, or the year after that!!!) That it would snow on Christmas!!!!
