Merry Christmas everyone.
A.: “I like pink and my class and to color in my class. I am ticklish. I like to make donkey noises and cow noises. I love to dance and sing. My favorite songs are the Spider Song, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam, Hallelujah, and Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree. I love to climb, and everytime I jump off of something, I yell ‘Canon Ball!!!’ I love Tinkerbell, and look like her, too, but for Halloween, I changed my mind at the last minute and had to be Minnie Mouse!”
I.: “I sat around and played in my room this week. I went to Christmas parties, like today. I was in an InsectLore commercial and in a movie called Measure of a Man. I did gymnastics. I learned to do a bridge-up and balance beam. I’m learning how to read. I read Green Eggs and Ham. I practiced painting a picture of a fairy named Sil. I will start to paint this year, so I can be an artist when I’m older. I like to play checkers with my brother. I like to clean the table because it is one of my chores. I like to have my friends over. I beaded two bracelets because I love to bead.”
H.: “I started acting this year. I’ve had 7 jobs. I’ve been in 2 commercials, 3 movies, 2 voice overs, and a fashion show. I started 2nd grade this year. I moved up to level 2 in gymnastics. I dug a big hole in the back yard, that’s now filled with leaves, when we were digging for dinosaur bones. Sometime next year we’ll clean it out and keep digging. I lost three teeth this year, and I have one wiggly one. I learned how to do a cartwheel this year, and I can almost do a handstand. I learned to pump with my legs to swing higher on my 7th birthday. I completed Tiger Cubs this year. I read Stewart Little this year and Of Mice and Magic and Mouse and the Motorcycle and Runaway Ralph. I read Dreams of Flight this year because I want to learn a lot about planes so I can try to design them when I’m older. I won 1st place for my Legos in the fair this year, and I got 2nd place for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Sugar cookies. I won 2nd place for my story The Space Flight to an Astroid. I won 2nd place and a big ribbon for my garden scene plot with my Lightening McQueen collection and some cacti. I won honorable mention for my stepping stone.”
R.: “This year, I taught CTR 7 (Choose the Right, age 7 and 8) in Primary at church. This next year, it is H.’s class that I will be teaching. Now I can finally complain about his teacher. Hehe. I still home school the children. We have had lots of adventures this year like going to the Ostrich Farm, Disneyland, the L.A. Zoo, Cove Fort, CaLM (local zoo), the Discovery Center, La Brea Tar Pits, USC Science Center, LA Natural History Museum, and lots of different places in LA and Santa Monica for the children’s acting. I’m working on goals for the new year to prioritize needs more than wants in my life. I got out my Strawberry Shortcake collection to enter in the fair. I also dusted off the alto sax to play for Christmas this year and realized how much I miss playing it.”
T.: “I put a new floor in the bathroom this year. I’m trying to find the perfect recipe for rootbeer.”We each wish each of you the
merriest Christmas of all.Have a wonderfully cheerful 2011!
Remember, “wise men and women seek Him still!”
