Christmas Decorations

Christmas Decorations

Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk about my families Christmas decorations.



We have a ton of Christmas decorations from ornaments to a Santa train. We have four plastic bins full of ornaments. We only put about half of them up because there is no room. Most of them are all ones from grandparents. We usually get Hallmark and Lenox ones from them. They are both so gorgeous! This year I got a Hallmark bell angel and a Lenox bird and mitten. They are all super cute! The other ornaments are pretty much just super hero ones that are my dads.









We also have a ton of Christmas stuffed animals. We also have an advent calendar. An advent calendar is a tinny house with 24 doors on it. They open up and give something. It could be like a picture or candy. Ours is candy. Almost everything else is like a little snowman or something.



Last, we have a Christmas village. It's the department 56 Scrooge village. We have a lot of pieces. My favorite is the Church. We have four buildings and 13 accessories. We have seven tree's. We also have the three ghosts. There are a couple of other pieces too.















I love Christmas and all the fun decorations.

Family Reunion

Family Reunion

Hi guys! Today I am going to talk about my family reunion.

The family was on my moms side. My grandparents were there and a lot of my great aunts and uncles. One of my uncles came but my other one and his wife couldn't make it. Neither could their daughter, my cousin. Anyway when we got their we hung out for a while. There was a Christmas tree that spit out snow from the top into a huge bowl. The bowl took it back to the top of the tree.



There is a huge gym in the basement. There is also a game room with pool and foosball. All the basket balls were flat. We mostly played frisbee with the frisbee's that gramps got us. We had some snacks and punch. We just hung out and talked for a while more. Then they announced dinner. We all sat down at a big long table. We said grace and ate dinner.

There was a metric ton of food! Turkey, mash potatoes, everything! Then we all sat down in groups and played a little more and talked. Then my grandparents brought presents for Ashton, Alex, and I. Alex got three ornaments, a sleigh, a fire truck, and a mitten. I also got a mitten, and a dove. Ashton just got a sleigh. Then we got pieces to our Christmas village. We got three new trees. Then we got a church. We got a beer wagon and the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Then we had to leave.

I had a great time this year and it was super fun! I didn't want to leave!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Hello every one! Today I am going to be talking about my Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving!

For my Thanksgiving we went to my Grandparent's house. We got there at about eleven o'clock. We hung out for a while and watched the Macy's Day Parade. Then we ate lunch. We had some really good sandwiches that Grammy makes. Then my Mom and Grammy started cooking for dinner. I had to work on my science fair report for a while. It was an extremely boring thing to do on Thanksgiving day. I don't like the science fair! Anyway that took me about an hour. My dad napped for a while when I was working on my science fair.

Gramps and I walked Daisy for a while. Daisy is their dog. She is so cute! I have never walked a dog before. It was really fun. We just talked for a while. We only did I think two blocks. It was too short! If only you could walk a cat, I have two of them. When we got back, Grammy gave us some old family Christmas decorations. There was a big Santa music box, a Santa candle, a tiny wood sled that says welcome friends, and a plastic home. They also gave us a real old sled.

Then we had the feast. There was turkey, mashed potatoes, pickles, beats, cranberry sauce, gravy, vegetables, stuffing, and probably more! We just laughed, talked, and ate the whole time. Then we went into the living room and played a card game. I won the game! Then we went to the kitchen for desert. We had ice cream and cupcakes. I had made the cup cakes the day before.

I had a great Thanksgiving with my grandparents! I hope you guys had a happy Thanksgiving too!

The Conjuring

The Conjuring

Hi everybody, today I am going to write about a movie I recently saw called The Conjuring. I saw it on Friday night. Spoiler Alert!

The Conjuring is about a family of five daughters, and their mother and father. They move into a house in the country. At first everything is great. Except for their dog won't come in. They decide to leave it out for the night and they go to bed. the next morning when they woke up, the mother had a huge dark bruise on her leg. Then when she comes down stairs all the clocks in the house had stopped at 3:07. Her youngest daughter, April, went outside to look for the dog. She found the dog dead on the ground next to her house. The night before they found a room under the stair case. It had a bunch of dusty junk in it. Every time the wife woke up a nap or in the morning, she had another bruise. Birds kept flying against their house and breaking their necks.

Most of it happened in the night. One of the daughters had her leg pulled down a bunch of times. She saw a person, shadow, or thing behind her door. The second youngest daughter kept going into the oldest daughters room and sleep walking into the closet. The first night she just had her father come and get her. Then it happened again the next night. So she just put her sister in bed with her and she was about to get in when, the banging had started again, but her sister was still in bed with her. There was nobody even close to the closet. The girl turned to see her little sister and looked back. When she looked back she saw a dirty, decaying girl on top looking at her. She screamed and it went away.

This isn't even half of the movie. It scared me to death. We watched tailors after it. We always watch something after a scary movie so we don't have to go to bed scared. The movie freaked me out. I loved that movie! I was scared after it. Then my dad pointed out that the house was to new for anyone to have died in it. (The ghosts were from people that died there before.)

I went to bed a little freaked out. The fact that nobody died in this house before was comforting though. I never really have a hard time sleeping after scary movies. I really liked The Conjuring!

Recipes

Recipes

Hello everybody! Today I am going to tell you about my moms recipe book.

It's always been the big blue binder. If someone told me to go get the big blue binder, i'd probably know what they were talking about. The big blue binder has online copies, and family recipes. I made a huge thing of mac and cheese today from a recipe out of the big blue binder. I really like cooking, especially deserts. I have recently started to copy some of the recipes into a note book of mine. The big blue binder is sorted into more of less four sections. Main Dishes, (which also includes sides, and sauces) breakfast, deserts, and bread. There is also a folder in the front which holds random recipes. Then in the very back are recipes from Grammy and Grandmama.

I like the family recipes better because they are more unique. Like Grammy's oatmeal cookies and Grandmama's cheesy bacon ball. My favorite cook book right now is the kid approved cookbook. The recipes are all family tested. There are 328 recipes. Mom got it for us a while ago and we only made one thing out of it. I recently rediscovered it about a week ago. I want to cook more often but we are busy a lot of week nights and are weekends are filled with chores because we're redoing our bedrooms.

I have been doing some more cooking recently though. I made chicken and salad last night. When my Aunt came over I made pancakes and recently I made some bacon. I am going to help a ton with Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts. I will make cupcakes for Thanksgiving and I want to make pie. A little while ago I made chocolate chip cheesecake. The dinner that I made from the cookbook a while ago was cheddar cheese and bacon meat loaf with apples and caramel sauce.

I really like cooking! I really want to make a smoothie because it looks fun and I like smoothies, but we don't have the right things.

Wellness Center

Wellness Center

Hello! Today I am going to write about the gym I work out at called the Wellness Center. I have a customized workout there.

I like working out there because it helps me stay active. I can also change my workout, witch can be helpful. I also like that we go at least twice a week. You can also get your workout changed and try new things if you get board with what you have. It doesn't burn to much for me because I have a shorter workout. It's enough to stay at my normal weight.

I use three cardio machines. First, is the stationary bike. It's just a bike that is held in one place while your on it. Next, I do the treadmill. Most people know what that is, you run on it. Last is the elliptical. The elliptical makes you move your feet in circular motions. I do stationary bike for 10 to 20 minutes, the treadmill for 10 and the elliptical for 10 also.

I have a lot of different weight machines. I first have one where you push with your legs against the wall and push yourself backwards. Then two machine where one one you push your legs apart and one where you push them together. There are a lot of different ones. I probably burn 130 to 150 calories in weights and the same with cardio.

Nobody thinks it's fun going to the gym, but I go anyway. It's important to my dad that we all go.

New Rooms

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about new rooms.

My parents recently moved upstairs in a new bedroom. My brother Ashton got their bedroom. My brothers used to share a room. I'm moving into the room they shared. My little brother is getting the room I have now. We already moved Ashton into his room. We had to paint, and take out the carpet, then redo the boarding. Then my mom put hard wood flooring down. He got his bed from our Aunt Melodee and Grammy and Gramps bought the bed spread and sheets and things.

Yesterday my mom and I started on my new room. We moved Alex's bed and desk and things into the living room. We took out the carpet and foam. Today we took out the boarding and tack boards. We screwed the floor down. I like building and destroying things. So Alex now sleeps in the living room. Soon we will pick out a color for my walls I was thinking lavender or baby pink, what do you think?

So once I move into the room we're working on now Alex will get my room. We are doing the exact same thing to the room I have now. When I move into the new room it will be bigger and have a bigger closet. I'm supper excited!!!!

I really want to move into my new room! So what do you guys think, lavender or baby pink?
