Christmas Morning

Every morning on Christmas day, a happy feeling comes my way. Knowing Santa ate my homemade cookies and reindeer ate their carrots. I flew in my mom and dad's room to wake up my parents! My mom came down with me to see the presents. Millions of presents under my pleasant. I checked on the plates that I left food for Santa. Everything was gone and then I wanted a Fanta. I tore open my present so exited with joy! And in all those presents I found a grand toy. Authorized by the elves I'l tresure it forever. Making sure it's the best moment ever! I look in the stockings candy and treats! I gobble them later or they'll rotten my teeth. What's that? A ring at the door? I run and get it. Carefully not tripping on the floor. My grandma and Uncle are here this very day. Quick, Quick come in! I hope you can stay. Oh! A feast. As lovely as pie! Cabbage, fried chicken, macoroni! I hope ther's pie! Then we have our feast and always pray first! Then we say our High's and Low's and dig in with a thirst. Then 5 hours later the guests have to leave and we had fun with them. Oh, watch out for that weed. Well, Christmas is over. We wish you a merry Christmas. And to all a good night!

Prince

Prince was born in 1958 on June 7th. His full name was Prince Rogers Nelson. He was my second crush. He could do things no ordinary man could do. Don't believe me? He could do a split! He can play almost any instrument. Prince can hear music and just remember it! He acts formal in his time. He understands how to get up on stage and won't be shy. He could be the next King of Pop. Honest. God Bless you, Prince.

About The Vampire Diaries

My favorite TV show is The Vampire Diaries. The stars of this phenomenal TV show is Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. The whole series is about this girl named, Elena (Nina Dobrev) that is being hunted down by a man named Elijah. But 2 men named Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are trying to protect her will she die? Watch The Vampire Diaries every Thursday on channel 69 on CW. Nina is the main character of this series. She has a good way of trying to figure out things. Paul is Nina's boyfriend. He wants to protect Elena. Ian is a bad boy. He's in love with Elena. Well that's about my favorite TV show.

How Much I Love Dogs


I love dogs! See that dog above this post? That's the type of dog I want. I have 2 dogs. They're not mine they're just my favorite dogs. The first dog I met was at my neighbor's house. Her name was Kara. She had a dog named, Atlanta. Her nickname was Aussie. Aussie and I played in Kara's backyard and I gave her lots of treats. Aussie is 3 years old and is a black lab. She knows 5 tricks. Sit, shake, high-five, roll over and lie down. She's a great dog and I love her. Now the second dog is a dog named Guap. Guap is my uncle's dog. He's a pit bull that's 3 or 2 years old. He knows 3 tricks. Sit, Stay and Shake. Guap is really intelligent. Guapo is spanish for handsome. And handsome he is! I love Aussie and Guap and if anything happend to them 12 pieces of my heart would be broken.

My Writing Life

I started writing at 3 and my first book was My Purse. When I saw the writing in the books that have already been published, I thought, "How did they write like that?" And when I finally asked my mom she said, "They type it on the computer." I thought, "Well that makes sense." Then I started typing my stories when I was 6, but what really sucked was that I could only type when I was at my grandma's house. Until at my birthday party a "Family Friend" bought me a computer and now I could type whenever I want to and today I'm still writing.

How To Make A Frog

Hi! I'm going to teach you how to make a frog. All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil. First you put 2 dots in the center of the paper. Then put a line under it. Make a big enough hump from the starting of the line to the end. Then under the eyes put 2 dots. You can make a smiley face or a sad face on the frog's face. Then make a hump from the first eye all the way to the second eye. Then from the side of the frog's eye, draw a circle to the other side of the of the other eye's eye. Then start decorating the face. But hold it! We're still not done. We have to make a body! First put 2 lines from the frogs face all the way to the bottom of the close bottom of the paper. Then draw two spikes under it. Do the same thing on the left or right of the face. Next draw the half of a heart on each leg from top to bottom. Last draw a big U under the part between the legs. And now you're ready to decorate!
