Grandma and Grandpa's House

On Wedsday to Thursday we decided to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We were excited all week till finally it was time to get in the car and ride over. When we got there we went to Arby's then to Dollar Tree! Then when we got back we got to start making sugar cookies! We made the doe from scratch then froze it for three hours. Well we waited we did a lot of stuff including watching t.v. and drawing. Then finally we got up and got out a big hunk of cookie doe rolled it out and took out the cookie cutters. We shaped the cookies to be angels, Christmas tree's, stars, hearts, and more. Then we put them in the oven and started another batch. When they got out of the oven we put them on stands and plates to cool down. Well they cooled we mixed up the ingredients for icing and put food coloring in. Soon the cookies were done cooling we got out the icing and iced over them and put on sprinkles. When we were done decorating we got ready for bed. The next day when we woke up we got waffles and sausage. Then we hung around and let our food digest. Then when it was lunch time we went to a resturaunt called spearmans. We got soup and sandwiches and then went back to Grandma and Grandpa's. When we got back we got on our bathing suites and started dinner. Then we drove to the pool to swim. Finally we got there and went swimming. We did flips and did water basketball it was a lot of fun. When we got back we ate cheese steak, mashed patatoes, and cranberry sauce. Then we watched Sarah Plain and tall. When it was over we went to bed. Then when we woke up we ate breakfast and came back home. We had a great time. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa

Oh Christmas Tree

Yesterday we got our Christmas tree. We were in a hurry because my brother and sister had tennis. Normally we ride on their hay ride and pick a tree then cut it down ourselves. We couldn't this time though. We had to look at the trees already cut down and pick. We picked a firm one that was our favorite. Then we got it wrapped and had a hole drilled in where the stand went in. It was still cold and snowy out so we just went in the building where they had the fire and where you could get hot cider and hot cocoa. When we were done wrapping it we put it in the car and drove home. When we got home we took the tree in and got right back in the car to go to lia and Gabe's tennis. When we got to their tennis we dropped them off and went to a nearby Starbucks. We got two cookies and I got a eggnog drink with no mocha. I read my book while mom and dad worked. Then of course I got bored and begged to look at a nearby shop. Soon we had to go pick them up. They were rallying and serving when we got there. Then before I exploded they finished and we headed home. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store and movie store. We got two star wars movies for Lia and Gabe and I got Goosebumps for me. Then we came home and watched movies and had popcorn. We decided to decorate the tree tomorrow and just go to bed. I slept good that night we had a big day.

Christmas Story

Emmy woke up with a happy feeling. She had been waiting forever for Christmas to come. She made a list of what she wanted five months before Christmas. She couldnt wait to see what she got. She begged her sisters to tell her but they wouldn't listen. She ran down the steps and saw presents under the tree. She was so happy she went over and read who they were all for. Five were for her and six for her sister kirrisa and five for her other sister Amelia. She was mad she didnt get as many as them but hers were all the biggest. She had a lot of stuff on her list but there wasnt enough boxes for her to fit it all in. Emmy went in the kitchen her dad mom Amelia and kirrisa were all there. They were righting cards and eating Christmas cookies for breakfast! Emmy asked Kirrisa what they were doing. Why do you care kirrisa responded in a snapping way. I thought I might help Emmy said.
