Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I know I'm a little late....but I was busy. For Thanksgiving Day, we went to my Aunt and Uncle's house, and had a grand old time visiting with family, gorging ourselves with fantastical food, and watching football and Disney's UP!!!!! We had the entire week off of school which was very nice! I am very thankful for the break. Today though, it was back to school and routine....not necessarily a bad thing though.
I know I am behind on a few things........the Grand Prix......the concert I went to a while back.... So this blog will just be full of different things!
The Grand Prix was a fun time, and Becca won first place in the little kids speed division, Joey, won second in the same division! Samantha and Nick didn't' win anything, but their cars were spectacular! My Hershey's car won second in design! All in all, our family did pretty good, taking home quite a few trophies. :) Sadly....I won't be able to race in next year's Grand Prix...which is so sad!!!!!!! But, I suppose I shall live.
A couple weeks ago, on the 20th, I went to a Legacy Five, Southern Gospel, concert, with my adopted Uncle and Aunt, who go to my church, and who are amazing!!! Before the concert, they treated me to a fantastical, fabulous dinner at The Elephant Bar!!!! Let me tell you....that was one good meal! And....it's pretty cool inside that restaurant! The concert was incredible and awesome!!!!!! Not only was Legacy Five there, but Larry Ford and The Herb Henry Family, was there also, along with The Freedom Singers, who talked a bit about how they escaped Romania. I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the concert, Marilyn even bought me a Legacy Five C.D!!!! Thank you so much, Walt and Marilyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are pretty amazing, aren't they?! It was a very fun night! And the concert was a very long concert....just the kind of concert I like!!!!!

Random......
okay, so I have a post with pictures from the Grand Prix soon coming, but right now I'm going to blog about my day today, and other random things.....because I can! And because right now I"m watching the Kings game and I like to multitask and it's giving me something to do! :)
Today we got to sleep in till 8:20 and then we spent the morning baking pies for tomorrow and listening to Christmas music! The house was filled with such wonderful smells. Tomorrow we are going to my Aunt and Uncle's house for Thanksgiving and it shall be a fun time, full of food, and family! I have been totally in the Christmas mood! I love December, Christmas, and winter! Christmas songs have been playing all week, and I've been singing them like crazy! I even dug up a little tree in our yard, put it in a pretty pot and put it on our round table here! I made mini decorations for it, with wire and beads and made some mini Apple Sauce and Cane decorations! It's so cute!!!! It's mine, all mine!!!!!! Ahhhhh......It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!!! Today has been a good day! and tomorrow looks just as good! In fact, the rest of the two months are looking just as good, no, I take that back, better!!!
And, making tonight even better, the Kings are winning by 23 points!!!!!! Buckets, aka Donte Green, is tearing it up tonight!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the hearts of all people both near and afar
Feel the love of the season wherever you are
On the small country roads lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
Let it be Christmas everywhere
With the gold and the silver, the green and the red
Christmas everywhere
In the smiles of all children asleep in their beds
In the eyes of young babies their first fallen snow
Elderlys' memories that never grow old
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the songs that we sing and the gifts that we bring
Christmas everywhere
In what this day means and what we believe
From the sandy white beaches where blue water rolls
Snow covered mountains and valleys below
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere

The Big News!
Oh my, after all that time waiting to post, when I finally did, I forgot to mention the 'big' news around here!!!! That news just happens to be that Danny and Colette are now courting. My big brother and one of my best friends. So, we are all excited about that. Don't know how I forgot about that when blogging last time.....
And now I shall leave you with a video of the song More by Matthew West, which is one of my favorite songs! :)

Hodge Podge
Okay....so I haven't blogged in a while, obviously. But I was busy. I've had tons of blog posts in my mind, just haven't sat down and actually blogged them. But now I shall blog! Backing up to October, on the 31st we went to 'Trunk Or Treat'. It was fun, and more importantly, we got lots and lots of candy!!!! Well.....my siblings got lots and lots of candy, but they love me lots and they couldn't eat all the candy they got all by themselves, so I helped them eat it! Like the nice sister that I am. All us kids dressed up. Nick was a Greaser, Samantha was a Pirate, as was Joe, and Becca was a Renaissance Princess. Jackson was the cutest pirate on the earth!!! I dressed up as a gypsy in the beautiful (if I dare to say so myself) tired skirt that I made!
Last Sunday was Nick's 14th birthday, so we celebrated it with Grandma and Grandpa, Omi and two of Nicks friends, Andy and Michael. It was a good day....there was lots of good food! Nick and his friends airsofted some, and skateboarded(Mom and Dad gave him a skateboard for his birthday).
Last Wednesday, I went to my Orthodontist Appointment, and heard such good news---I don't have to go back!!!! I am done!!! Yay!!!!!!!! Everybody clap for Cara, she just had some wonderful news! :)
Today, Danny and Nick are sick. And I might be coming down with their stupid cold too.....sigh! I don't wanna get sick!!!!!!! *Big sigh* Oh well......at least we rented three movies today! Two for today and one for tomorrow! We watched Indian in the Cupboard this afternoon, and this evening after dinner we'll be watching Disney's Up, with Dad. Tomorrow night we'll watch Faith Like Potatoes too! So life isn't so bad. :)
One more random note: Early this week, forget which day, the girls and I watched the first episode of the new BBC Emma!!!! IT WAS AMAZING! I can't wait to watch episode 2!!!!!!
Well.....that's it for this hodge podge blog post! I have a million more things to say that I've randomly thought up during the past couple of weeks, but I'll save them for other posts. TTFN, Ta Ta For Now!!!!
