Christmas Decorations

We put up Christmas decorations yesterday. I am going to tell you all about them and where they are. I hope you like it!


Christmas tree:The Christmas tree is in the living room on the coffee table. We moved the table from the play room then put the tree on it. It looks good. I'm glad we have a Christmas tree. :)


Ornaments: There are all sorts of ornaments, but there are two main types: ball ornaments and personal ornaments we get in our stockings. This year we didn't hang them all up, but we hung up quite a few. The ball ornaments are in all sorts of colors, and the personal ones, well, you can imagine. Some of mine are a pretty glass angel, a girl reading a book, and a young girl in a red dress. They are all pretty or cool! The tree topper is a pretty angel in a white dress with yellow and gold accents. She is holding some flowers and beads.



Stockings: They a hung on the mantle with snowflake and train stocking holders. Mine is tan with a dinosaur and trees on it, Maverick's is black and red checkered with a black bear, Kannon's is multi-colored with trees on it, Faith's is white with snowflakes and a tassel, Kadyn's is green and red with snowflakes, Mom's is green and gold with a bell on it, and Daddy's is red and brownish with diamonds. They are all very pretty!



Other: There are pretty buildings that light up, ornaments that could not be on the tree,a picture of us, a thing that hangs on the wall that says snow, and stuffed animals.



Well, there you have it. It won't be much different next year. I hope you enjoyed hearing about our decorations!

Dance Recital

Tuesday was me and Faith's dance recital. Faith was in an earlier show and I was in two other shows. I wasn't nervous at all! I was a little stuffy, though. No snot flew out of my nose like last time, though! Faith did really good on her dances. In her ballet one she did only some of the stuff, but on her tap one she did most of the stuff. For the tap one they wore some really cute antlers! Then it was my turn. In the first show I did my tap dance, and in the second show I did my ballet dance. My tap dance was to 'Blue Christmas', and we had our pajamas on. Two girls had rollers and one girl had a face mask! We acted sad in the dance. It was funny! My ballet dance was to 'White Christmas'. It was fun. At the end of each show we came out and bowed, then when everyone was out we waved and said, "Merry Christmas!" This dance recital was probably the best Christmas one yet! :)

Happy Birthday Maverick!

The day before yesterday was Maverick's birthday! We had donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast. After that we got ready and went to church. Then we went to Main Event to go bowling! Maverick got a strike on his very first turn! I didn't do so well. I only got 2 spares. Gram made a R2-D2 cake. It was cool! I got Maverick some Star Wars books, Faith got him a chainsaw, Kannon got him a Spiderman car, Mom got him some cloths, Miss Chris and Mister John got him the Maverick Nerf gun and some holiday Hot Wheels cars, Gram and Pappy got him a remote control R2-D2, and Daddy got him a skateboard and a helmet. Then we had cake. I wasn't feeling very good and when I had my second piece of cake, I felt even worse. Then we played another game of bowling were Kannon won and I was in second. Then we went home and played. It was a happy day! :)

Funny Things, Weird Things, Etc. Vol. 6

I have more funny things, weird things, etc. for you! Here we go......


.......Once Maverick was drinking some juice and he laughed and it went down his throat and then he coughed and it came back out of his mouth AND his nose! It made his nose sore. It's funny that it came out of his nose, but it's not funny it made his nose sore.



.......Faith started to walk at 9 months! This was amazing, but unfortunately it made her leg funny. She had to wear a brace on her leg for a while to fix it. Part of it had butterflies on it. :) She was really good with it. She even learned how to take it off!



.......I taught myself how to read when I was 3 years old. It's amazing, isn't it? I wonder myself how I did it! I guess that's why I can read so well.



.......Daddy recently put up the putty in the new room. Now both Mom and Dad are working on sanding it. They wear special masks while they're doing it to help stop from breathing the stuff in. Last night it was so hazy in there, you eyes felt funny just 2 centimeters in!



.......Last night the boys slept in my room. It was fun! We stayed up playing games until 11:00. Then we slept for half an hour and then we woke up again. We stayed up for a while then we fell asleep again until about 5:30. Then we fell asleep at about 7:30 and then me and Faith woke up at 8:45. The boys didn't wake up til later. It was a fun night!


Well, that's all I can think of for now. I hope you enjoyed reading! :)

The Christmas Parade

Yesterday we went to the Christmas parade. It was lots of fun! We woke up at 7:00, and then we got dressed. We had to dress really warmly because it was going to be VERY cold. I had on 2 long sleeved shirts, one jacket, my winter coat, tights, long socks, and pants. I was going to wear 2 pairs of pants, but Mom said I didn't need it. I wish I wore those other pants! I also had my hat and gloves. A little bit after we got ready to go Gram and Pappy came. Then after a little bit we got in the car and went to the parade. Mom, Dad, and Maverick got in the middle seat and me, Kannon, and Faith got in the back seat. On the way we saw some pretty big buildings. We saw the American Airlines Center and the big ball tower. We also saw the rocket tower and the ruins of Reunion Arena. When we got there we all got on our hats, gloves, and coats. Me, Maverick, Kannon, and Pappy went ahead. Me and Kannon had a hard time keeping up. When we got there, Pappy laid out some of the blankets he had with him. Then, when the others got there, he laid out the rest of the blankets. We ate our donut holes and drank a little hot chocolate and then Daddy took us down to the place with trees. We chased him around and caught him twice. Then he spun all of us around and then we climbed on a sort of round railing. The first time I jumped of to Daddy. It was scary. The other times I didn't. Then we came back and listened to the rest of a concert that was going on. Then, after a while, the parade started! First came some police cars and some of what looked like golf carts, then dancers from a dance they did further down the road came. Then a marching band came, and then a Santa balloon came.
Next another marching band came, and then a float. Next came some old cars with people in them, and then came STAR WARS! There was Princess Leia and R2-D2, and then came Anikan and Padme in a ship with wheels. Then came Darth Vader with clones and officers and TIE fighter pilots. Then Rudolf came, then Strawberry Shortcake came. Then more stuff came, including bell balloons and other balloons, and then Santa Claus came on a float. Then we gathered up our stuff and walked back to the car. On the way home we saw more REALLY tall buildings and the X building. When we got home most of us were really tired, but happy. It was a great parade! :)
