Christmas 2006

Wow! What a wild and crazy two weeks it has been. Christmas celebrations all started on December 16th when we finally made it home to the farm for early celebrations. We started out with a big turkey dinner and presents. My cousin Larissa has taught me how to tear through presents at lightning speed not even taking a good look at what’s inside….let’s just open “more”.

The next couple of days I spent out in the yard riding almost every horse Granny owns…..I was way up there all by myself!!! Mom would lead the horse and Granny would walk beside me saying “keep your crack in the middle of the saddle”. Each time I started to teeter I would wiggle my “crack” back into the middle of the saddle. The weekend ended with cutting down our first Christmas tree to take home. We looked quite a site heading north on highway 2 with our truck loaded down with bags, boxes of presents and a big tree blowing in the wind. I couldn’t wait to get home and get “lights” on the tree.

The next weekend my Auntie Hilary and Uncle Don arrived from Washington DC. We had a little Christmas party at our house with my cousins Brady and Trevor and “more” presents.

I got another present on Christmas Eve morning…new skates (in my size) and a cool helmet that will work for skating, tobogganing, horse riding, and more. Of course we spent the day skating and tobogganing. I’m not sure if you are aware of last years tobogganing accident but this years wipe out definitely topped last years. I got snow rash and a fat lip….good thing I had on that new helmet.

Santa finally arrived and brought me exactly what I ordered….a Dora the explorer doll. When does the excitement end? Next week….more presents….it’s my birthday!!!
