Young Womens

This year I am turning 12.

Last night was our tithing settlement. The bishop asked me, my mom, and my dad what our personal goals were for '09. My goal was to keep all A's.

He also asked us (like every other bishop would) if we had payed a full tithe. I said I had.

He also asked me when I would be going to Young Womens. I said this year.

He was amazed to find out that I had all A's, had payed a full tithe, and I was going to Young Womens soon. I don't really understand what was so exciting about all this, but atleast he was happy!

Christmas Is Here!!!

Christmas is ALREADY here! I can not believe it came so fast. It's like I have been asleep for months, not aware of the time flying past me.

Anyway, for Christmas (from Santa), I got a video camera/camera/MP3 player, 2 shirts for school, 2 CD's (one is David Archuleta, the other is some religious songs), candy, a pack of chap-stick, an I SPY puzzle (only 63 pieces; easy), some erasers, a new straightener, a locket that came with locket earrings, and some pajamas.

This is what I got from my family...

Ella: High School Musical crayons (Yippee!)

Josh: A Tootsie Roll piggy-bank with Tootsies in it

Mom+Dad: The movie, "Prince Caspian"

Grandma+Grandpa: A very short and fat red scarf w/ a very big purple hat

Aunt+Uncle: The book, "A Christmas Carol"

Gifts! (that don't cost money!)

I have decided that I need to write more posts. I know not many people come to look at my blog but I know that the ones who do are always waiting for something new. I haven't written in about nineteen days! I need something new.

Christmas is in four days.

I have decided what I am getting my family for Christmas. (MOM DO NOT READ ANY FARTHER!!!!!!! DAD YOU TOO!!!!!!!) The kids are all getting some time with me. Mom and Dad are getting something I am going to do for them.

For Isaac I am going to spend an hour playing with and spoiling him.

For Ella I am going to let her sleep with me for 2 days straight.

For Josh I am going to let him wear any of my pajamas for 1 week.

For Mom I am going to prepare dinner for the family for 2 days.

For Dad I am going to do everything he says for 1 day-I mean EVERYTHING-and see if he notices a difference.

They all get to choose when I do this for them. I hope they all like their gifts!

MOM YOU CAN READ NOW! ONLY BELOW THIS!

Tell me what you are all getting each other! I want to know! No, you don't have to say what you are getting me! he he!
