Christmas Pictures!

Here's some pictures from Christmas. I didn't get very much but oh well.
P.S. All of these pictures were taken with my new laptop!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas this year was amazing. I expected it to be that way though because Christmas is my favorite holiday and it's always amazing. I did a lot with my family and we had a wonderful time. I especially love Christmas because I can be with my family and have a good time.

My family has a lot of Christmas traditions. One of our Chrismas traditions is doing the nativity play thingy, whatever it's called! Me and my sister take turns every year being the angel and Mary. This year we didn't do the play but we still read the story out of the scriptures.

Also, on Christmas Eve night after we do the play, we read Christmas stories and poems. One of the poems that we read was one that we got in the mail from my aunt Betty and uncle Keith. Here is the poem:

If you look for Me at Christmas,
you won't need a special star-
I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,
I'm right there where you are.
You may not be aware of Me
amid the celebrations-
You'll have to look beyond the stores
and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment
from your list of things to do
And listen to your heart, you'll find
i'm waiting there for you.
You're the one I want to be with,
you're the reason that I came,
And you'll find Me in the stillness
as I'm whispering your name.

Love, Jesus

Wow. I love that poem and I'm greatful that my aunt and uncle sent that to us. It's so true! We sometimes forget what Christmas is all about. Most kids just think that Santa comes at night and gives us presents. But Christmas isn't all about Santa, presents, snowman, and reindeer. It's about celebrating Christ's birth. I'm so glad we have a holiday to celebrate him. It's the least we could do for him after what he did for us.

After we read the stories and poems we go look at Christmas lights. I love looking at lights. Usually we have to take two cars so we have a contest between the cars who can count the most stars(lights, not is the sky. DUH.)

I just love everything about Christmas. It's always been my favorite holiday and it always will be. I love giving presents and celebrating Christ's birth. I hope you guys all had as good of a Christmas as I did. I love you all ;)


My computer isn't letting my post any pictures on here, so I will do another post later with all of the pictures!

Nieces!

I've already posted about my nieces but they're so wonderful so I decided to post about them again. Riley is the oldest and she is 5 and Rachel just turned 1 in October.

My nieces are the best! They're cute and they always make me happy, even when Riley makes fun of me. I love it when I get to see them because I don't get to see them very much.

Riley is soo big. I remember when she was born, and it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. I can't believe she's 5 years old! She is so tall! I love her a lot. She makes fun of me all of the time and gets mad at me but I still love her. I pretty much love all little kids. Riley is one of the smartest kids I know. She can already count in Spanish, knows her ABC's, knows the animals, know all of the colors, and she can spell really good.

Rachel is also big. I'm glad that she isn't old enough to talk because I already get made fun of enough by Riley ;]. Plus I don't want her to grow up. I love it when she tries to talk and just goes on and on like she's the smartest girl in the world. Rachel has beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile.

My nieces are so wonderful. I'm glad that I have them because I don't know what I would do without them. They are so beautiful and nice. I love little kids because they make life seem so easy and they always make me happy. I'm always happy when I'm with them. Even though they're young, they're still an example to me in the different things they do. I just love them! =]

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the temple for baptisms for the dead. We left at 1230 and we just barely got home(it's 8:00ish now)!!! We were there forever but it was worth it because it was a wonderful experience.

I always love to go to the temple for baptisms for the dead. There is always a strong spirit in the temple, and it makes me feel better to know that I got to serve somebody. The temple food is also way yummy!

On the way home from the temple we played this game where we had to quote movies back and forth. It was pretty fun but I didn't know some of the movies. We played other games too. I just love going to the temple because the friends that you go with are good people and you don't have to worry about what music you're going to listen to or what they're going to do.

As you can tell I just love the temple. Sorry if this sounded really repetative but I really didn't know what else to say. I'm speechless.

Pumpkin Day!

Yesterday had to be one of the best Pumpkin Day's ever! I had so much fun! I was with Alisha all day(of course!). School was probably the worst part of the day, but the whole day was fun.

At school, in French, we watched The Birds. It was way scary! I'm scared that I'm going to have dreams now of birds chasing me and trying to eat me. I hate scary movies!

After school me and Alisha went to her house to get ready. I can't really tell you what she was but she looked way freaky. I don't really even know what I was. I had a black shirt and black shorts. I was wearing striped orange and black tights. My hair was in cute little girl pig tails. I didn't want to dress up as something scary, because I don't like scary things as you could probably tell.

As soon as we got ready we went trick-or-treating. It was the funnest ever. I hate when people tell me that I'm too old to go trick-or-treating because it should be for everyone. It is not begging for candy either. Trick-or-treating is like trading candy because you give out candy too. Trick-or-treating is fun and it also helps you lose weight with all the walking you do!

At 730 Alisha at I went to the corn patch. Alisha had to be in it and I had to take tickets. After a while there wasn't anybody coming so Neil made me and Allison(she was also taking tickets with me) go through it. I was really scared. It didn't really scare me though because I knew what to expect. I tried to scream so that they wouldn't get bored. The whole point of me and Allison going through there was so that they wouldn't get bored and do a crappy job when the other people come. I tried to act scared but I probably did a horrible job of it.

We then went to Alisha's house and changed into different clothes and Alisha washed off her make up. We went to a party that was actually pretty fun. At the party we played doughnuts on a string, bobbing for apples(which I didn't do), and shaving balloons. We also played kick ball with a piniata(sp) and broke it on the first kick. I got tons of candy!

Alisha and I went back to her house at about 1130 and went to bed. We didn't go to sleep though. We sat there and talked and ate our candy forever! After a while we just got bored of talking and I was out pretty quick.

Well, that was my wonderful Halloween! I bet you're jealous! Actually, probably not because I'm sure all of you guys had an amazing Halloween too!

P.S. I stole this picture from my cousins blog because it was really funny and I didn't have a Halloween picture to put on my post.

TAGGED

It's been a while since I've posted, and I was tagged a while ago by my cousin Shaylyn so I figured I better do this.

The rules: Link person who tagged you
Tell about 6 Quirks of yours
Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same

Fact 1: I'm left handed. It's probably not a big deal that I'm left handed but I can't really think of anything about me. I can't do anything with my right hand. My dad always jokes and tells me that I can't even pick my nose with my right hand. Well, in my opinion that's probably a good thing!

Fact 2: I love to shop. If I have money I spend it. Alisha always gets mad at me because whenever she goes shopping with me she spends way more than she wants. I love to shop, but sometimes it's not the best thing to love.

Fact 3: I'm addicted to gatorade. It's my favorite drink ever. Whoever created it is probably one of my biggest heros. It's really yummy!

Fact 4: I love school. Wow, I know! I love learning new things, and I just love being with people all of the time. My favorite subject is English. It's the only one I'm actually good at.

Fact 5: My eyes are beautiful! I'm running out of facts so I just decided to put this on here. Everyone thinks that I have contacts because the color of my eyes are soo pretty, but they're actually just originally that way. I don't wear contacts!

Fact 6: I love music! Everything about music makes me happy. It takes my mind off things. I can relate to a lot of what the lyrics say and that's party why I like it.

well that's 6 facts about me. Pretty amaxzing right. I know. BLOWS YOUR MIND! well not I tag: Bridgette, Laurel, and pretty much whoever wants to do this! =]

UEA!

UEA is supposed to be fun right? It's a break off of school and you should be totally excited about it! I was until the break started. UEA has not been fun at all.

My best friend, Alisha, is not even here to hang out with me. She is visiting her friend up north, and she's also up there to take some acting classes. At least she's doing something she loves.

Dustin is hunting, and doing whatever this weekend. I don't know exactly what but I'm sure he's having fun.

Yesterday was probably the most boring day of my life. I had to go to the doctor with my mom and dad for my mom's doctors appointment which was really boring. Then we got a flu shot, which I didn't know we were getting. My arm is still sore which is very strange.

Today has also been boring. I have done absolutely nothing today, and I feel extremely lazy. I need people to hang out with.

I'm not good at making things interesting and fun because if I was I probably would be having a much better time. I also wouldn't be waisting my time on the computer. Hmm. Well, that's about it. That's my UEA.
