I am so excited for Christmas!

Hello! 
I soooooooo excited for Christmas!!! On the 23rd, we will open our presents in the morning, and after church we will drive down to Grandma and Grandpa's house to stay for Christmas. I can't wait till we have meatballs and rume..... whatever that creamy white stuff is, I think it's spelled Rumegrod? Not sure.... But anyway, and then we will probably go to Granny and G-pop's house, and then we go home, and then for New Year's we will go to Uncle Howard's! And go sledding down the driveway!! I WANT TO OPEN ALL OF MY PRESENTS RIGHT NOW! I think that is the hardest thing of waiting for Christmas. Waiting to open presents. Well, next Saturday we will make Gingerbread Houses!! And also on that day is a Katie McMahon show, that we  have to go to because Sonja and Sese are dancing in it. And tomorrow is the annual church Christmas Program. And there is the Corda Mor Christmas Party right after morning church. And yesterday, we didn't get home till 10:06 because we had to do caroling with other church people at a nursing home that is nearby, and after that, there was cookies and soup and other stuff at the church, so we had to stay for that, and then after that we had to clean the church, and then we FINALLY got to go home. Boy, that was a long sentance. Well, I will give you an update on everything else that will happen!!

Another Update

Hello. 
Well, today I'm just going to give a short post about our trip to Michigan. Here we go. We all got up at about 5:30 AM and left at about 7:00 AM. We drove 8 hours until we got to Chicago, where we stayed at one of dad's friend's house overnight. The second day, we drove 3 hours till we got to Grand Rapids, where we got Sonja, Sese, and mom to their hotel. It was called the J.W. Marriott. We stayed there for a little bit and then went over to Dad, me, and Miranda's hotel, which was called the Baymont Inn & Suites. We stayed there for about 3 hours watching TV, and then we went back over to the J.W. Marriott to have supper. Then, we went back again to Baymont, and went to bed. The next day was Sonja's day to dance. She did very good. I think that she got something around 28th. The next day we just relaxed, watched TV, and went swimming. The next day was Selena's day. she also did good, but she got 57th. And the next day, we traveled about 6 hours. We stopped at a little beach beside Lake Michgan, and I picked up a few souvenirs. (three smooth stones) Then we drove a little more till we got to Rockford, IL. We got supper at Steak 'n' Shake. And we drove some more, till we got to Madison, WI. We stayed overnight at the Clarion Hotel. We watched TV, went to bed, and the next morning got up and packed the car, and drove about 4 hours home. So, that's all. Now, about normal life. Today, us girls performed in a show called 'Sharing the Season', at the Lakeville High School. Tomorrow, Sonja, Sese, and I are going to play the piano at a nursing home. So that's that. By the way, has anybody noticed my little critters? You click to feed the fish, and for feeding to hedgehog, you roll your mouse over the little tab that says, 'more' in the lower right-hand corner. If you click the hedgehog, he will jump. So, that's all I have to say. 
Goodbye!
