Trammy Wammy

On Friday night Darrin and Nathan L. slept over at our house and hung out with us the whole day on Saturday. It was overcast, and there wasn't much to do. Wondering what we did? Warning: might be crazy and overly awesome, may be dangerous for the brain. haha

Don't ask.

This was so much fun. Afterwords there was no more boredom, of course it was all Joseph's idea. He choreographed it for us all, THANK YOU JOSEPH!!!!

Lyrics

These are the lyrics of a really good song that I heard on the radio. Go to youtube to listen to it. Make sure that you read the lyrics while you listen to it, pay attention to them.

What Faith Can Do

LYRICS:

Everybody falls sometimes
You gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think its more than you can take
But you’re stronger, stronger than you know

And don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

(Chorus)

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
Its just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
You may decide to take that step
Out on the water
But it’ll be all right
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

(Chorus)

Overcome the odds
When you don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It will tell you that you can

(Repeat Chorus)

Even if you fall sometimes

You will have the strength to rise

Curled!!!

Here is my hair curled, I love it! It's so cute!!

I especially like this one.

Jesse curled it and then took the pictures. She did a really good job. I told her that I wanted her to curl my hair so she did and it didn't take very long, especially since she used our straightener. I think it looks really cute in the back. This is my favorite shirt too.

Before & After

Guess what??? I got a hair cut!!! Here are the before & after pictures

Before:

After:

It is so short now! My mom did all of this. (With help from Jesse) And they also cut my bangs and "fixed them up." My dad thought this all was great! (as you can see) Jesse wanted to curl it so bad but I said, "No I want to enjoy it how it is for a while, but you can do it later." She kept asking to and finally I gave in to a crimp, but that didn't work out very well so we just left it how it was. I'll make a later post and show a picture of my curled hair.

Traditions

I love the traditions that we do in my family for Christmas and Christmas Eve. So for dinner in Christmas Eve, we have this soup from Mexico called Pozole. Then after we eat the soup, we open one present from Santa and it is always pajamas. We wear them to bed and all the kids pick a room that we want to build our fort in and we get all the blankets in the house and put them in a pile and sleep on it. On Christmas morning we go wake up our parents and we line up in their bedroom, youngest to oldest and walk down the stairs. Santa always leaves our presents out unwrapped so that we can just walk down and see them. And after we have looked at our presents from Santa, we move on to the presents from our family. We used to buy a gift for everybody for five dollars but it got hard to do that because we're older now and its hard to buy under five dollars. And so now we just buy gifts for the three people that were younger than you for ten dollars. Anyways, we open one at a time from oldest to youngest. And once we are all done, we just do what ever we want the whole day, besides play with friends. We don't even get a big breakfast, Santa brings us our favorite kind of cereal and we just eat that. I don't think we even have a dinner, but that's all right because we are having to much fun to come and eat dinner!
