It doesn't take the Young's long to get prepared for Christmas. The day after we got home, we hung our outdoor decorations. The pumpkin from my field trip was still on the porch. Instead of throwing it out, Mom let me paint it like a christmas decoration. Then, a few days later we celebrated Dad's birthday! He turned 37 this year and I feel bad that we were all sick on his birthday, but luckily we were well enough to still see him open presents and enjoy cake together.
The week after we got home from Thanksgiving, we finished our last day of our second quarter at school (it included pajamas and watching the Polar Express) we went to find our Christmas tree. This year it didn't take us long to pick one out at the tree lot, but the shortness of time it spent to find it was no indication of how tall the tree was! It was so tall, Dad hat to trim the top just to stand it up! We enjoyed decorating the tree and putting out all the ornaments (ESPECIALLY dancing Santa). Because we are now done with school for the year, we can do fun things during the day. Mom took us to the mall and let us look around at toys to prepare our lists for Santa. Now that I knew what was on my list, I could finally write to Santa and put it in the mailbox so his elves would know exactly what I want!
On St Nick's day (Dec. 6) we woke up in the morning to find a gift left by the fireplace. The gift was for Cora and me and inside was a cookie maker! That evening after dinner, we made cookies. The cookie maker makes all sorts of shapes that we can decorate with sprinkles! What a cool gift we got! The decorations are out, cookies are made, Santa letters mailed. Now all we have to do is enjoy the season and have fun! Next up - a visit from Grammie and Gramps!
