In The Christmas Spirit!
Merry Christmas Eve!!!!! Yay!!! I am so excited for Christmas!
Anyway, here's a picture of me and my sister and some other dancers from after our last performance. I was at the theater for approximately 8 hours. Ugh! But it really was a whole lot of fun.
Now more onto more Christmas-y stuff! Below is white and milk chocolate covered pretzels that me and my sister made for her schools bakesale. They raised $500 for a nonprofit group that makes meals for homeless and homebound people. We made two batches, so what ya see below is actually only half of what we made. They were soooo good!!!
Also, for us, me and my sister made gingerbread cookies for the first time yesterday! They are delicious! I thought I'd show you a few of them.
We made huge 3D paper snowflakes and I hung up a few. We have been giving them as presents to some people. We are so crafty! Lol I love doing Christmas related stuff.
Me and my sister went to be elves at a Christmas party for kids under 10. It was so much fun!!!! So many people took so many pictures of me with their kids. It was really great.
I am trying to get a little girl's toy from Santa Claus open, but it was crazy for how wired in it was to the box. She was so cute though!
Santa's readin' a story to the kids (and the elves). He actually read like 3 stories. A cute little boy is sitting on my lap below, listening to the story. The girl in the picture above sat on my lap to for a little while also.

I wish people acted as they do at Christmas time. It is so much fun. People are so nice. Maybe one day it will be where everybody is kind and good at Christmas time all the time.

Christmas Break is Tomorrow!!!!
Well, Christmas break is actually half of tomorrow because it is a half day at school. And then Christmas break!!! Yay!!!! I am so ready for it, I have been so busy at school I need a break. Plus, I am looking forward to Christmas. But then again I always am.
One of my teachers gave everyone the candy cane legend story on cute paper, and a candy cane. The story of the candy cane representing Jesus. I haven't heard that story in a long time, and the last time I heard it before I was to little to remember that I ever knew it. Lol once I figured out that the curve shape to it was shaped like a "J" to represent Jesus, I ate it the way I guess most people would consider "upsidedown." Anyway I saw a couple of people through theirs away, which made me sad, but now that I think about it maybe it could help someone diggin through the trash. Haha.
Guess what! We are performing for dance again! This Saturday, two showings of it, and the same dance we did at Fantasy of Trees. YAY!!!! I am excited and I hope we do a great job. We've added more to the dance since the time we did it at Fantasy.
Hmmm. Now that I am thinking about it, I wonder if I ever said anything about me wanting to be a lifeguard this summer. Well anyway I do. I have been swimming more often lately, but not enough to suit me to get ready for the test to be a lifeguard thingymajig. I hope I pass, and get to get a job as a lifeguard.
Speaking of swimming pools and such, me and my sister went to this free scuba diving introductory lesson. It was fun, after I sorta got the hang of it.
Rant of the Week: I am hoping I did good on the finals I did so far. I am going to be super mad if I do crappy and get a bunch knocked off my grade.
Rave of the Week: I dissected a pig in Honors Biology a couple of days ago. Also, I got a partner fairly easily, which made me happy!!!!
Happy Holidays y'all!

We did really well, I am very glad!!!!!
Moving on, here is my Angel Tree list:
Girl 1: Age 4, wants age appropriate books. +
Boy 1: Age 4, wants a stuffed animal. +
Boy 1: Age 4, wants a stuffed animal. +
Girl 2: Age 4, wants a winter coat or jacket, size 6X.+
Girl 3: Age 3, wants a winter outfit (likes purple), size 4 or 4T.+
Girl 4: Age 5, wants the Tinkerbell movie. +
Girl 5: Age 1, wants a stuffed animal (teddy bear). +
Girl 6: Age 5, wants a baby doll. +
I got everything!!! And just in time too, cuz I had to take everything to the mall to drop off yesterday.
On Sunday I went to the mall and bought a cute jacket for Girl 2 and the winter outfit for Girl 3. That was good to get that stuff. The outfit was $8 and the jacket was $15. I also got stuff from Claires for me on the clearance stuff and saved $25! That was great!
Yesterday night I went to Walmart and got a different coat that was reversible and seemed better for rainy weather than the jacket I got before. Also it was $7 and my daddy is going to take the other jacket back and I'll get my money back. My sister got underwear for one of her Angel Tree kids, and then I saw gloves 2 for a dollar, and so I had to get them. I got three of those so everybody could have some, except for Girl 5 who is a baby so I got her a hat for a dollar. That all worked great! Then as we left I put my change in the Salvation Army bucket outside-that made me feel good. Then we went to the mall to take everything to put in the big Christmas present box. There are still cards there on trees waiting for someone to come and help, and that isn't good. But I am just about broke for the current moment. When we left to go I put more change in the Salvation Army bucket in front of the mall.
Rant of the Week: I am still pissed that I don't have really any friends in Honors Biology.
Rave of the Week: I am super happy cuz there are several guys that are totally crushing on me. It is so much fun!!!
Below is a picture of the majority of what was taken to the mall for the Angel Tree. The stuff on the couch is mine, the stuff on the table is my sister's.
