 | Dec 25th, 2011 - The most exciting day of the year (coming in just a bit ahead of my birthday) is Christmas Day of course. I had called Santa a few days ago and left him a message with the things that I wanted and I was really hoping he would deliver. Of course that depended on nice or naughty I had been this year. The truth is that I think I was mostly nice but I did have a few bad days along the way. I was hoping he would give me some leeway. After all, I am only 5 years old. We slept early on Christmas Eve to give Santa enough time to stop and drop the gifts. I had left him a glass of Milk and some cookies under the Christmas tree. I left some carrots for the reindeer too. I woke up, brushed my teeth (rather reluctantly) and ran to the Christmas tree to see if Santa had come............and HE DID!!!. I tore open all the gifts in a matter of minutes. He got me everything I wanted. I got the Crayon Maker, a Paul Frank clock, Dinosaur train toys, books and puzzles. It was super exciting. I wish it could be Christmas everyday!!! I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas. |

 | Dec 12th, 2011 - This year, I had enrolled in the Drama Club at school. This is the first year that they had opened it up to Kindergartners. Ever since school started back in August, we would practice for this play. There were 3 other Kindergartners with me in the play and we were given the role of a griffin. I had practiced my one line, which I had to say out LOUD "Whatever!, they are no match for the griffins.". Our play was at the school on a Monday evening. My parents dropped my off about an hour before the show. Our drama teachers made me wear my mask. The show started promptly at 7 PM. There must have been about 100 people in the audience. My scene was in Act 2. When time came for us, we ran on the stage, scared everyone and I said my line. I think everyone could hear me. When the show was over, we all came on the stage and took a bow. It was a great experience for me to do this play. |
