My Thanksgiving

Hola! For my Thanksgiving, we got together with some people, and we brought stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and pie. Everything was great!! I made the sauce that went over the sweet potatoes. When we got to the person's house, actually, I have to clarify something, we got together with two families, and didn't go to any of the three houses, we went to someone else's house. They were out of town, and had a bigger house than any of us. Anyway, when we got there, Nathan and I went down stairs, and played a game of chess. He was playing easy on me, and I was doing pretty good considering I am horrible at it! Before we were done with our game, my dad called us up to eat. Before we ate though, we had to take pictures. I didn't want to do that. Oh!! The people that were in the picture were all people from our church. One couple was going to move in a couple weeks, and had a four month old baby!! He was SO cute, though he was napping when we took the pictures! The other couple were grandparents, and the husband is the executive pastor at my church! Anyway, after we took the pictures, we ate! I LOVE everything, so I had a little bit of each! It was SO good!! My favorites are sweet potatoes and cranberries! After that, the adults talked for awhile, and eventually I asked my mom if Nathan and I could go in the hot tub. It had already been warmed. She said yes, so we got on our swimsuits, and after being in the a little bit, Nathan got this CRAZY idea that he wanted to go jump in the pool that hadn't been heated! After he did it once, he said, "It's FREEZING!! That was AWESOME!! I'm gonna do it again!!" He's crazy. Anyway, after he had jumped in the pool about five times, for some crazy reason, I wanted him to jump in two more times. He said he would only is I jumped in. I said okay, not really thinking correctly. After he jumped in once, I said I mean' he had to do it a total of three times. (You can see I was trying to get out of it!) So after he did it three times, he held me to my word, and said now it was my turn to jump. I said by the time he counted to 180, I would jump. Some he started counting REALLY fast, and I told him to stop, and count slower, he said he would, but if I didn't jump by 180, I would owe him $10.00. I agreed to it, because I was going to jump anyway, and I wouldn't have broken my promise. Anyway, to make a long story short, I jumped when he was at 140, and it was FREEZING!!!!!!! I was SO cold!! Immediately, I jumped into the hot tub. Nathan started laughing at me because of the expression on my face when I came up from under the water. But who wouldn't have a funny expression? It was freezing!! Anyway, after we came in from the hot tub, everyone though it was time for dessert, so we had it. After that, we decided to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit? but eventually had to stop it because my parents thought it was to inappropriate for us to watch. The only logical explanation we had for why it was rated PG, instead of PG13, was because cartoons were probably only rated as high as PG back then. We decided to play Wii instead, and taught the executive pastor and his wife how to play. The people with the baby left soon after that, and everyone still there, decided to eat more food. Everyone left soon after that. Overall, it was a good Thanksgiving!

My birthday gift...

My mom took me to see Wicked for my birthday!!!!!! I saw it yesterday! It is a GREAT musical!! It is the story behind The Wizard of Oz. Here is what it is about.... There is this girl with green skin who's not pretty and goes to this school, and becomes room mates with this really popular and pretty girl. They start out HATING each other, and then become BEST friends!! And due to certain circumstances, one is forced to become The Wicked Witch of the West, and the other is forced to become Glinda the Good Witch. And then Dorothy arrives. From then on, it is about how they secretly keep their friendship until the The Wicked Witch of the West's death. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!! It is only in L.A. until January 11th!!! OH!! I also got a mug that says Wicked on it.

Happy Birthday!!!

I won my last soccer game!! The score was 6-4!!! I was SO excited!! I was like praying the whole time that we would win! I was SO glad we did!!! I have had a BLAST this season!!! Adios!

My last soccer game... :-(

Tonight at 8:00pm I have my last soccer game. The season has been fun. This was my first year playing indoor soccer. I had played outdoor, but never indoor. I was the youngest on my team. We are undeafeted except for our 1st game. (except I don't know about this game...we may lose.) We are the best team in our division!! I met a lot of new girls. I have had fun. I hope we win! Monday is the award ceremony where we get out pictures! I will post my pictures! Gotta go!

Watching Volleyball!!

Last week, I saw Maddie's sister, Tessa play volleyball! It was very fun to watch! They are very good!!! Tessa played against Fullerton (she goes to La Habra), and they one 3 of 5 matches. They won the first one, then the second, Fullerton won the third match, and La Habra won the fourth!! All of the matches were very close though. I was glad La Habra won. I played volleyball at my Friday school a couple days later and it barely got over the net. It wasn't that fun. I wished that I could play with ppl who were good. Anyway, the volleyball game was very fun!! I was glad I got to go!!!

My Halloween!

My Halloween was SO fun!! I dressed up as a hula girl and had a real hibiscus in my hair. But my twin brother Nathan didn't dress up. Anyway, I went to my church and and got LOTS of candy!!! I also entered my Minnie Mouse pumpkin in a pumpkin carving contest!!! I won a $10.00 gift card to Golden Spoon! Golden Spoon is a frozen yogurt place. It tastes like ice cream though, and the flavors are always changing!! Hope you had a great Halloween too!
