Well, Christmas is officially over. It went by fast. Way too fast. I wish that I could have had more time with my family, especially with my family from Pennsylvania. Though I am sad that Christmas is over, I am excited for New Year's eve, when I get to stay up until midnight. I was originally going to have my two best friends from school, Lizzie and Veronica, come to my house for a sleepover, but Lizzie told me that she was going to Veronica's for New Year's eve.

Oh Well.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

We had our church play last Sunday night. Cooper and I, along with a bunch of other kids, were sheep. One of the sheperds set down her staff while she was saying her lines. Coop got sight of the big long pole and evidentally thought that it would be a blast to play with. He got up from the floor and picked up the staff, swinging it wildly around while screaming "Hy-Yah" several times. I almost broke out in crazy laughing from where I stood behind a whole bunch of toddlers dressed in fuzzy white hoods and shirts. Oh Yeah... sheep costumes are not only itchy, but hot. While I was almost laughing to death, I was sweating bullets also. I just thought that I would give you a report on the best Christmas Pageant ever.

:D

a year ago yesterday, I first met a little boy whom at first my parents called,'Cooper the Super Pooper'

Hey everyone! I just want to say that yesterday was the day that I first met my awesome little brother Cooper. If you are wondering why they called him Cooper the Super Pooper ( Bailey and Kaylee, you already know this because you guys called him that too, (; ) is because he had Giardia ( a sickness caused by polluted drinking water) and it gave him horrible diaherra. It is kind of funny because it feels like he has been in our family forever. Update on my mom: She is doing better; she doesn't have to rest on the couch anymore, but she is really tired, especially around six or seven o'clock. Part of that is probably natural tiredness like you and I and everybody gets at the end of the day, but she has been falling asleep right after supper, and she usually dosen't do that. Our Christmas play at our church was postponed until next Sunday because of a blizzard that hit our area ( no, not a Dairy Queen Blizzard, but that would be awesome!). See ya later!

Our Church Play

We are having a Christmas play at our church this Sunday. I get the awesome job of being a sheep... pretty cool, right? I also get to sing two solos: one in the song "The Friendly Beasts",which is about the animals in the stable and what they gave up for baby Jesus, and one in "Away in a Manger". My dad is making my sister and I listen to the sound track of the play while we are laying in bed so that we will know the songs better. I would rather listen to Adventures in Odyssey. Anyway, I know that you have probably heard somewhere that sheep costumes are itchy. No, I don't know if they really are itchy, and I don't know if i'm going to enjoy finding out.

On the other hand, there are only 15 days until Christmas! We always have our Christmas at our house early, what with going to my grandparents two nights before actual Christmas, so that would be 9 days away. Oh yeah... My mom has been having a sore throat lately. She went to the doctor, and they said that she had an infection on one of her tonsils. They gave her a shot of antibiodics, but if that doesn't work, they may have to take her tonsils out. It would be awesome if you could pray for her to get better. I will pray also.
