I like all the decorations in our house at Christmas and I like to help Mommy put them up. My favorite decoration is our stockings and of course the Christmas tree. My favorite Christmas Eve tradition is the money game. I get really excited about it. I almost won this year, I’ve won two years before. I also like the present game. I really like Mommy’s blueberry pound cake she makes for Christmas Eve. My Christmas break was good. I really liked going to Florida and most recently playing in the snow. Sledding down the huge hill in the forest was awesome and I like making my snowman. (giggles) I like everything I got. My favorite present that I got was my Polaroid camera and my books. I have already 4 of my books that I got! In New Year something I am going to work on getting better at pushups!
