Whoo Hoo!

Guess what? It's snowing! I can't believe it!!!! I doubt it will stay, but still! A white Christmas! It's almost a miracle! My sister came bounding into my room, chanting "It's snowing! It's snowing!" Oh, and on Google there is this Santa tracker that has tons of games and you can send personalized letters from Santa to people! I made some for my sisters. =D Well, I'm going to go outside now. Merry Christmas!

Christmas.

Hey Everyone!
Yeah, it's 10:00 so I better make this quick.. I'm sitting in my family room, cutting fabric and watching Michael Buble's Home For the Holidays. =) We glued (with icing) our gingerbread houses together so we can finish them tomorrow and decorated gingerbread cookies. =) My are pretty crazy, and they kept falling apart, so I won't post a picture. =D Anyway, I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas have a great one, and those of you who don't, have a Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!














I looked up some facts about Thanksgiving that some of you might or might not know.

  • They do not have an equivalent celebration in the UK. In the words of Erin Hunter/Vicky: "Happy Thanksgiving to my American Clanmates! We don't have an equivalent celebration here in the UK, which always seems a shame to me. I envy your pre-Christmas feasting and family get-together; plus, I love pumpkin pie and that's as rare as...a gentle word from Yellowfang?...around here."
  •  We would NOT have Thanksgiving if it wasn't for a woman named Sarah Hale. People started ignoring Thanksgiving, and in the West (oh, this is during the Civil War time) they didn't even know what it was. =( Sarah wrote lots of letters and asked people for help to make Thanksgiving a national holiday! She also wrote the nursery rhyme, "Mary Has A Little Lamb," not that you needed to know. =)

     Sarah Hale
     
  • In 1939, President Roosevelt proclaimed that Thanksgiving would take place on November 23rd, not November 30th, as a way to spur economic growth and extend the Christmas shopping season. =) via 
 What are some other cool Thanksgiving facts that I didn't list?  Wow, that sounded really dorky. Whatever. =P

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

Hey Everyone!
Happy Halloween! Over here on the East Coast we have Hurricane Sandy. =( So I think Halloween is being put off until Thursday or Friday. =( I'm going to be Anne Bonny/Elizabeth Swann. I couldn't choose between the two of them so I'm going to be both! I got my costume at GoodWill for $8, but it's in really good shape. I'll post some pictures of it later, but here are some Halloween pics to get you in the mood! =)

(I don't own any of these pictures. All are via Google Images)



This is so creepy!

Mmmm.... My favorite Halloween candy. =)



Cute!

Awesomeness!





What are you going to be? Happy Halloween!

Orlando!!

Hi Everyone!
I have so much news!! My parents surprised me in December, and we went to Orlando! Here's how it happened:
   I was sleeping when my mom came in with a bag about 3:00 am. She woke me up and told me to get dressed in the the clothes that were in the bag. Then she left. I got the clothes on and went into the hall. After all my sisters were in the hall, my mom did our hair. Then we went down stairs. And to our surprise there was four suit cases! Our initials were on them! After breakfast, we got in the car and went to the airport where we met up with our grandparents! It seemed to take forever to get on the plane, but once we were on it the ride there seemed to take forever! :-P We went to Universal Studios, and we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel!! Two of my favorite rides was The Incredible Hulk and Harry Potter: The Dragon Challenge!!! I also liked:
  • The Spider Man Ride
  • The Jurassic Park Rides
  • Fear Fall
  • THE FORBIDDEN JOURNEY!!!!!! (HP) (So cooool!)
  • The Hippogryph! (HP)
We had a ton of fun at Universal! There was a pool with an awesome water slide
After four fun-filled days, on Christmas Eve we were packed up, ready to go home, thinking about setting up our Christmas tree. But when we were in the hired car, we noticed that we weren't headed toward the airport, but...............
DISNEY WORLD, ANIMAL KINGDOM!!!!!
 We stayed at the Animal Kingdom from Christmas Eve (24th) to the 27th! We had so much fun! Our favorite restaurant was The Tusker House. The food was great!! My favorite rides there were:
  • Expedition Everest
  • Hollywood Tower of Terror!!!
  • Rockin' Roller Coaster!!! (Aerosmith!)
  • Dinosaur
  • Epcot Center Ride
  • Mission to Mars
  • Test Track
All of the parks and places I went during our stay were totally awesome, and I think that you should go to Disney World (or Disney Land) and Universal someday (soon!!;-))

Holiday Chains

Holiday Chains
Here is how to make these cool Holiday Chains. I made the chains shown here for Thanksgiving, but you can make yours however you want.
List of Tools Needed:
Tape
Scissors
Three Pieces of Colored Paper of your Choice
Step One:
Choose your paper. You will want to use colored construction paper, colors of the holiday. Find a smooth surface to work on.
Step Two:
Fold the pieces of paper, separately, accordion style.
Step Three:
Take one of the folded pieces of paper, and flatten it out. Cut along the creases until you have strips of the paper. Repeat with the other pieces


Step Four:
Decide on a pattern for the chain. Then, take the first strip and fold it into a circle. Take a piece of tape and put it on the overlap. Put the second color in the chain, make a circle, and put the tape on the overlap.

Step Five:
Repeat step four until you have used up all of the strips. This is my little sister with my finished chain!
Step Six:
Find a place to put it, and enjoy! Here are my chains!

     Hello Everyone,
    I hope you are having a great Easter! I went to Winterthur with my cousins and had brunch starting at ten-thirty. Then we walked to the Enchanted Woods and had a great time! Our cousins had to go back to their home this afternoon, and we were sad. :-( We had a great visit - they came last week so we had a while together. ♥ :-) I hope you had a great Easter, but what did you get? Here is a list of the things that I got (the gifts that I can remember!):
    1. Nana & Grandpa-
      Lipgloss
      $10 (:-))
      Candy (bubblegum, Starbursts, etc.)
      Notebook with pen
      Colored Pencils
    2. Cousins, Aunt, & Uncle
      Cute Poufs! (I got a giraffe)
      Soap
      Homemade chap-stick (they have bees)
      Hand-blown windmill
      Dairy-Free Chocolate (I have a milk allergy)
    3. Mom and Dad
      $10 to iTunes!!!
    4. Easter Bunny
    5.  Dairy-Free Chocolate

    The Easter Bunny wrote "THANK YOU" with jellybeans because we wrote "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Easter" to him on dry-erase boards and put them near our fireplace. I will post a picture.
    Happy Easter!
