Hello. Are you doing good? I am! I did a Christmas concert at my school. Before the concert we watched Charlie Brown Christmas. The concert was good. I sang "O Christmas Tree" in German and "Foom, Foom, Foom" and I did it in Spanish and English. And I sang "I'm Gettin Nothin for Christmas" and the "Twelve Days of Christmas".
We went to Gardner Village for one of our advent activities. Mom took lots of pictures but I was fine with it. The lights there were amazing.
We made cookies with our friends Kade, Alex & Jace. We got to eat one and me & Kade made cookies for Bishop Dean. Brandon & Jace made cookies for Sister Hintze. And Alex & Kyle made cookies for their friend Caoiss. We also did giant gingerbread men for a different activity.
We had lots of snow so we played in the snow a lot. Me and Kyle built a snow man and named in Bobby the Snowman (aka Bob). Me and Kyle and Brandon had a snowball fight and it didn't turn out well. I also made lots of snow angels. And we went sledding and dad pulled the sled behind the 4-wheeler.
At our Christmas party, Santa came and I was on the nice list ... phew! And we played downstairs with our cousin Sean's Mario Kart track. It was fun. We had a great time. I loved at the Christmas party that there was lots of food like chocolate and cookies.
On Christmas Eve we did our advent which was chimes and we put out cookies for Santa and we played lots of Wii. We had a fun time playing Wii. When we went upstairs we looked at the Santa tracker on the computer and he was almost to Utah so we quickly went to bed. We got new pajamas and I like wearing them and I'm wearing them right now. I had blue and green and Brandon & Kyle had red and blue. On Christmas Eve, Grandpa Pat was with us.
On Christmas morning I opened my presents and I got: the game Headbandz, a camelbak, a helicopter and Skylanders Swap Force. On Christmas we had a Christmas party and I ate lots of food there and had a great Christmas.
For New Years Eve we had spaghetti and meatballs and lemonade. We built a fire in the backyard and made s'mores. When we were all done we went back inside and watched the movie Turbo. I like the part in it when at the end he gets his powers back. My resolution for the new year is to stop teasing Brandon because I tease him a lot. I am looking forward to 2014 to go on lots of trips and spend lots of time with my family.
I am having a fun time on the Wii. I've already completed the whole game of Skylanders Swap Force. My favorite guy in Skylanders is Washbuckler. He has a gun that shoots piranha's out of it and a sword that hits bad guys like Greebels and Chompys. I have a fun time building LEGOs in my room. I'm sorting my LEGOs right now. Bye. I hope you guys have a happy new year.
Love Eric James Barnhisel
