Happy New Year!

I hope you had a merry Christmas! I got tons of clothes, Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS, a 2009 calendar, and a pen from the Las Vegas Bowl. On Christmas Eve I got purple pajamas with puppies on them. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve; I'm excited! I can't wait until the countdown! I can't wait to say, "5...4...3...2...1...Happy New Year!" It'll be so fun! On Christmas Day we went skiing at Bogus Basin. Then, on the 27th, we went skiing at Sun Valley. My favorite run is called Olympic Lane. It's a cat track that leads to a black diamond run called Olympic. You don't have to go on it, though. You can keep going straight. On the run we passed by a memorial for someone named James. His ski jacket was hung up on a tree and his name was carved on a bench. It was buried in snow. My least favorite run was a run called Upper Warm Springs. Lower Warm Springs was much easier. I like Sun Valley better than Bogus Basin. That's just my opinion, though. I had a good time in Sun Valley. Again, I hope you had a merry Christmas, and I wish you a Happy New Year!

We're Already Celebrating!

Today my family started celebrating Christmas early! We got a new HDTV! It's awesome! We've already set it up. Right now we're watching the Poinsettia Bowl. I'm typing on Meredith's laptop. I had a basketball camp and it was both tiring and fun. My brother's basketball coach named Coach Roberts was the teacher of the camp. Some of the Varsity Girls' Basketball Team players helped out with the camp. We had a shooting contest and my team won almost every single time both days! We only lost twice and we had like a million contests. We had some relays, too. I got a T-shirt for coming to the camp. Anyway, back to football. I hope BSU wins! My sister graduated from that college. She got to graduate with Ian Johnson who is a famous football player. It showed a photo of when BSU won the Fiesta Bowl and Ian was proposing to his girlfriend who was a BSU cheerleader. Tomorrow our friends the Peays are coming. We have gifts for them, and they have gifts for us. I love what they bring me. My parents bought presents for me and my siblings to open on Christmas Eve. I love being able to celebrate Christmas early. Well, it's time to go. BSU has made a touchdown and I want to see them make more! Happy Holidays!

Graduation Celebration

Today was a wonderful day. My sister graduated! I got to miss school this morning to go to the gradutation. My grandparents came for the celebration. They took us to Red Robin for lunch. I had a chocolate Monster Milkshake and spaghetti. Later we had a graduation party for my sister, Meredith. Many people came including Mrs. Tate, my 4th grade teacher. Meredith's good friend, Derek Erstad, came over and gave Meredith a nice purse. She absolutely loved it. Christmas Break has officially started! I'm so excited! Christmas is in less than a week. No school for two weeks, either! December has been a festive month for me and my family. I've loved this year. Being 9-10 years old has been fun. It's time for me to begin my life as a tween. I will soon be a teen. The age limit for a tween is 10-12 years old. It's time to rock!!!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

It's only ten days before Christmas Day! I'm so excited! Tonight me and my family went to a Timberline High School Christmas Concert. They had quite a few sing-a-longs. They had songs like Rudolph, Silent Night, Frosty the Snowman, O Come All Ye Faithful, and more. Tomorrow is my big Christmas program, Cool Yule. My friends and family are so excited for my solo part tomorrow. I never knew I would get so much attention! I hope ALL the kids at White Pine think I sing well. Practically my whole family (except for Tanner) is coming! I'll be performing in front of more than 300 people! I can't wait! My tree is decorated; I didn't help much because I was busy setting up the nativity (my mom made major changes to it)! Christmas is so close! I have a chart that we put up every December 1st. We put little ornaments for each day and it counts up to Christmas Day! There are only ten more ornaments to put up! At the tip of the tree we put up the star ornament representing Christmas Day. Well, I ought to go now. It's getting late!

P.S. Cooper's excited for Christmas, too. My family is thinking about buying Cooper a chew toy or a big huge edible bone.

Christmas Celebration!

I'm so excited for Christmas! Yesterday my class had to watch the dress rehearsal of the Christmas program for K-3 grades. The name of their program is Sights and Sounds of the Season. My choir's Christmas program is coming soon! It's called Cool Yule. My solo part is fantastic, except I need to think of some dance moves before Tuesday. Anyway, I think I've fallen too much in love with Blake. Almost every girl in my class knows I like Blake, and happily none have told. If they did, the person they told would come up to me and say, "You like Blake?" I've become more social than before with "crushes." I really hope he likes my part. He better love it! Ha ha ha! Just joking. But seriously, I hope Blake likes it. Christmas is on its way! We've put up our Christmas lights already, and we got our tree. Our house smells like pine whenever we come in the house (despise the fact it also smells like my stinky feet). All we need to do now is hang up our ornaments and we're set! Christmas Break starts the week after next week. I can't wait! The only sad thing is I'll be away from Blake for three weeks! OK, I really need to forget about that cutie for a while. I need to have a relaxing weekend, and then start all over with the cuteness in Blake next week! Then, for three weeks, forget (Blake's birthday will be on the last week of Christmas break). OK, stop it, parentheses, you make me want to cry having to be away from Blake for two days. My friend Olivia admitted Blake kind of is cute, but she doesn't want to crush on him. I didn't care, for I will love Blake for a while, probably. AAAAAAAHHHHHH! I really need to stop! The cuteness of Blake is taking over! OK, I will now calm down and talk about celebrating Christmas. Let me begin: Blake-oops, start again: Christmas is a time where you celebrate Jesus' birth and open presents! I'm really excited; it's in less than two weeks! And now that I'm a two-digit number, I have more power at Christmas! Get ready for power! Two-digit power! Anyway, I'll blog probably next week and talk...well, you know what. About the cute boy who I can't seem to relax about! He's too cute!

You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry

You better not pout I'm tellin' you why! Santa Claus is comin' to town! I have one big wish list. December holidays are my absolute favorite-especially my birthday! But Christmas is a bigtime favorite of mine. I don't just enjoy being able to get presents, I enjoy celebrating Jesus' birth. Today in church the Primary got to bear their testimonies for Christmas. Not in Sacrament Meeting, but in Primary. This is what I said to the Primary: "I'm grateful for Christmas and I'm glad we have a holiday to celebrate Jesus' birth." I didn't say much, but it's a truthful statement I made. I have my Wish List in ratings. Sigh, my #1 gift will not be given to me. My mom said so. Anyway, here's my list in rating order:

1. A friend for Cooper (as in Hailey. The owner of Hailey is looking for a home for her)
2. A Laptop
3. Webkinz
4. Build-A-Bear
5. Nintendo DS Games (as in Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS)
6. Wii
I can't remember the rest. I know that I had 10 presents wanted. It's a nice and pricey list (except my mom said I could pay for most of the laptop and she could pay a little). You better not cry or you'll get nothing for Christmas! Don't be bad! Be good, but also celebrate!

December

On Thursday was my birthday! I turned 10 years old! I know I'm writing this post late at night, I just felt bad for my blog (I got a new journal so I haven't been on my blog lately) so I wrote a post. December is my favorite time of year. My birthday, Christmas, and other fun activities and other holidays are in it! On Wednesday, December 3rd, I had a birthday party. We went to Build-A-Bear Workshop! I got a cute bear with a cute outfit. Well, I have to make this short because it's late. See you on other posts! Also, celebrate December!
