4th of July Fun!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We are so lucky to live in a country like this. I spent the 4th of July at my Nanny and G-Dad's house with my cousins. We went tubing and swimming in the lake and pool and also saw some fireworks. We come here every 4th of July, but this year was a little different. We always go to two firework displays, one on the 3rd and the other on the 4th. So the one on the 3rd we see on the boat and we saw that one. But, the other display we see at a place called Great Waters. We have a picnic and play games and sit there for 4 hours playing games. This year though it rained. So we ended up not going to Great Waters and staying home and watching fireworks on the TV. We watched the Washington D.C. ones and the Macy's fireworks in New York. I thought that Macy's was better, just not as big. Bigger, to me, is not better. I was really sad and mad that we did not see Great Water's fireworks. It stopped raining, just the adults didn't want to drive and park and lug everything down, then drag it back up. Oh well, It was fun, I guess.

Happy Birthday Amber!

Two days ago was my big sissie's birthday! Happy birthday!

P.S. Sorry this is late. I tried yesterday but it never saved.

Today Is the Day!

A lot of things have been happening. Amber, my big sister, is here and it is her last day. My dad, her, K-doodle and Amber's friend Alexa are at the Coca-Cola museum trying out all the 95 flavors of Coke. And where am I? Well, right in the kitchen. Mom didn't go because she hurt her leg. I am feeling a little bit left out. There going to come back with lots to tell about. Mom said that she will take me to the Ice Cream shop. I am going to get some Sorbet. That is pronounced SORE-BAY. It is like frozen lemonade. It is really good. And I can have it (I am allergenic to milk). Well, I not saying not one-on-one time with my mom isn't going to be fun, (I have been wanting to have some time with her for a longtime) it's just, I wanted to go too. But, I can't. I could have gone, if it weren't for I have to be Altar Server at our church tonight. Maybe God is telling me that He matters, not fun. Maybe He is telling me that over all, He is the one I need to go too. He made this world for us to follow and worship Him.

Well, this is my first Altar Server duty and I am kind-of nervous. It's a good thing it is Lent. The bells and the Holy Water are not being used, so I don't have to worry about that. But, I don't know which server I should be. The one that holds the cross (which is really heavy!) and walks in front and does nothing more, or the one that holds the Prayer book and gets the tray and walks in the back? I am thinking of doing the second one. I just don't want to fall over :-).

Hilton Head Island Vacation!

I am a little late on this, I know. And those who know me will have thought I would put this out sooner. We went on vacation last week to Hilton Head Island, SC. It was a really fun time. We invited our friends from IL and they came down and had a great time too. There is too much to say so I am going to do it this way...

What: Hilton Head Island Vacation

When: March 19 - 26 2011

Where: Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

What Did You Do?: Bike ride, go to the beach, swim in the pool, shop for suverniors, drive, go to Church on Sunday, eat Ice Cream, do crafts.

Other information: We had a swell time with our friends. We might have stayed in two separate condos, but that is OK. We went to the beach and saw a starfish, a baby jellyfish, a crab, a dolphin and found loads of shells and even some sand dollars. We had so much fun, but I am so glad to be home.

But, that was my spring break. So while everybody else is having fun, I will be inside doing my schoolwork. : )

American Girl Store

An American Girl Birthday for K-Doodle

 Today we went to the American Girl store in downtown Atalanta for K-Doodle's birthday. We had been keeping this a secret. When we got there, she was so surprised. We went in and looked around. Mom had got reservations for the Bistro there, so we had lunch. It was a great lunch. You got your choice of your own appetizer and then a meal. I chose chicken noodle soup and the tiny treats, which came with a little hotdog, hamburger, and fruit.
 Even though they were tiny, I didn't eat more than two bites. Then we had some dessert. I got the tiny dessert to go with the dinner. K-Doodle got chocolate brownie lollipops.They put a candle in it and sang happy birthday to her. Then her to grandma's, Grangan and Nanny, bought her things. She got a miny doll from my mom, two new outfits for her doll form my Nanny, and a shopping spree at Macy's from my Grangan. The shopping spree included a lot of clothes and accessories.

But it's not her birthday yet! (It's on the 28th)

Christmas

I had an awesome Christmas! We went to my Nanny and G-Dad's house, they live on a lake. They have a big house and we had a lot of people. Here is how many people were there:

Me, K-Doodle, Mom, Dad, my big sister Amber, my 7 cousins, my Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Kevin, Nanny and G-Dad, my cousins Uncle Mark, and my cousins Grandma and Grandpa. That is 19 people. We had a great time. On Christmas Eve night we went to see the giant ginger bread house that they do every year in there neighbor hood. We also went to Church on Christmas Eve. Then after that we went caroling. On Christmas day we opened our stockings. My mom stuffed a lot of stuff in mine. She gave me a finger puppet, candies, lip gloss, hand sanitizer and a note pad. We had to wait till everybody got up and then we eat a fine breakfast of Butter Braids (big pastries) and eat my Dad's famous breakfast casserole. Yummy! Then after that everyone sits down in the living room and we sort out the presents and then we open them! I got a lot of stuff this year that I like. Here is the list of things I got for Christmas: I got two Barnes 'n' Noble gift cards, Just Dance Wii game, a Angel for my Angel collection, clothes, some Rainbow Fairy books, flower earrings, bath things, American Girl book, glitter domes (make your own snowglobes), stilts, a horse necklace, Apples to Apples junior, and a cloak.

For Christmas dinner we just have leftovers form Christmas Eve dinner. Then I go to bed wishing that Christmas was not over yet.

The next day it snowed! It was so pretty! That was the day when we left and went home. When we got home we rushed in to see what Santa had left us. When we got inside on the fireplace was four wrapped presents and sitting on top was the Mario Cart Wii game. Then we opened our stockings and after that the presents. In the presents were Fur Real Friends. We got the whole town and a hamster wheel. We each also got a puppy with a pet carrier. That is the whole Christmas story of this year. I have some people to thank, though.

Thank you Mom and Dad! I love the books, the cloak and the snowglobe kit best! I love you!

Thank you Grangan! I was waiting for those fairy boooks! Love the clothes! I love you!

Thank you Nanny and G-Dad! I love the stilts and necklace! I am getting really good at the stilts! I love you!

Thank you Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Kevin! I LOVE the earrings! They are so cute! I love you!

Thank you Amber! I am going to bug Dad to put a nail in my wall near my bed for the calendar and I am going to wait and count the days until you come next. I really love the gift card and I am going to spend it on Nancy Drew books or some CDs.

That is it! C-Sunshine

Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving! I am going to spend mine with my family in Alabama. Thanks for reading my blog!


Love, C-Sunshine
