Blogmas 2017 day 24 & 25 Last day of Blogmas - Christmas Eve & Christnas day

Hello, and welcome back.
Christmas Eve was on a Sunday this year, so that meant we had regular church in the morning and then the Christmas service in the evening. In the service in the morning, the Sunday school classes did a Christmas play. there was also lots of Christmas song.  After church was over we went out to Stella's to eat lunch. I had a candy cane mocha, and a sandwich with the house salad. it was good, but there was so much food I couldn't finish it all. I took it home. when I got home I went to watch Disney A Christmas carol. I finished watching A Christmas carol. and it was time to go back to church. In the evening it was mainly singing. We has a young adult choir, and then the congregation would sing some songs.
 We went to our friends house after to eat some good food, and play games. First we ate food and talked, then we played games. we played Jungle speed, Pictionary telephone, and mad gab. We played games for awhile. by the time we finished games, it was late so we went home. when I got home I went straight to bed.
Good night.

December 25th 2017
Its Christmas day!! woo-hoo
Merry Christmas!
This morning I woe up early because I wasn't feeling that good. I thought maybe I was really hungry, so I went downstairs to get a snack. I don't think that was the case, but I don't know what was going on. I waited for the others to get up. Everyone was up and we started opening presents, first it was presents for me and my sisters from my parents. I went first. I started opening it and then my mom took a closer look at the box, and realised that wasn't my gift. it was my dads, she then went to go get mine. my sisters opened there's, and then we gave our parents there gifts to open. we opened our stockings after, and then one more gift each. After we had brunch. it is tradition that we always have eggs Benedict and hash browns on Christmas. Breakfast was finished so I went upstairs to take a bath. I took a pretty long bath, so y the time I got out everyone was getting ready for supper. I felt a little bad that I wasn't helping, but on the other hand I wasn't feeling great, and I feel like I needed that bath to make me feel better.
 While we were waiting for the food I watched t.v and had a little nap. soon supper was ready. we had mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and chicken, and brownie for dessert. we played settlers after lunch, and I won the game for once!! that Is so exciting for me because I have never won settlers, and I am not usually good at games. we cleaned up settlers and then I went to bed.
Good night. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

Blogmas 2017 Day 14-23 - I failed! sorry

Hello, welcome back.
so I have a confession to make, I have been forgetting to do blogmas. I have been running a couple options through my head. I could have ended off at day 13, completely skip over a number of days with no explanation, or give you an explanation post.
 In the time that I have missed there have been a few things happening. This past Friday the kids had there Christmas party, so we had Santa come visit the Daycare and all the kids got books and a candy cane.  When we have parties the kids are each suppose to bring in something, so we had a lot of food for lunch. Another thing that happened was we finally decorated our tree.

 

A couple other things that have happened were, I finished Christmas shopping and wrapped all my presents. I also decorated all the left over gingerbread I had, with my sisters help.
  That's pretty much all that happened between my last blog and now. I am sorry that I forgot and skipped a couple days. I will be back for new years eve and maybe even Christmas. This makes me feel so annoyed that I forgot to write! anyways I hope you have enjoyed blogmas so far.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 13 - christmas concert & christmas favourites

Hello, we are getting closer to Christmas who's exited, who's ready?
Today Is my volunteer day. my Day with the cheetahs. I got to work and was in the shark room until the shark, cheetahs, and monkeys went into there own rooms. I went into the kitchen to get the dishes done as fast as I could, because I was going with the cheetahs to the Christmas concert dress rehearsal. the concert was about an hour & 1/2, when we got back I needed to make bannock before my lunch. We didn't have baking powder, so I looked up what to do. I used baking soda and vinegar.I heat up the lunches and then went to have my lunch. After my lunch I spent some time reading with the sharks. after nap time was over I too the snack tray over to the babies. for snack was pretzels and smoothie. The monkeys always love the smoothie, some of them have at least four cups, and they just chug it! Snack was over, so we go them dressed to go outside.
  the plan was for me to stay at school with my mom and watch the concert, but my mom needed to go home to fix a playlist so I went home with her. I left a little early. this also meant that because I already say the concert in the morning, I stayed home.
I made myself supper, and watched TV. then I wrote. after I went to bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 12 - Christmas Q & A

Hello, welcome back.
today was a boring day, so instead of talking about my day I thought I would do a Christmassy Q & A. I got these questions from a blog called Me & b make tea.

What's your favourite Christmas movie?
My favourite Christmas movie often changes. for awhile it was the first Home Alone, but last year I discovered Arthur Christmas.

Have you ever had a white Christmas?
Yes, I have always had a white Christmas here in Manitoba.

What is your favourite Christmas song?
this question is so hard because I have so many favourite songs. One of my favourite right now is white Christmas by pentatonix, I also like Hallelujah by the pentatonix. although its not really a Christmas song, it is on there Christmas album.
.
Do you open presents on Christmas Eve?
No I do not open any presents on Christmas eve. I have heard of people opening one gift on Christmas Eve, like pajamas or something but that would just feel wrong.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeers?
There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Commet, Cupid, Donnor, Blitzen, and Rudolph. So I wrote down what I remembered, and then I was curios to see who I missed. I missed vixen.

What holiday traditions are you looking forward to this year?
I  always look forward to our breakfast. I call it our Christmas breakfast because we only make it on Christmas. we have eggs benedict with hash browns. Another tradition I look forward to that we have already done this year, is going to cut down our tree. as of about 2 years ago our whole family goes to cut down our tree, and then we make a fire and roast hot dogs, and have hot chocolate.
it always so good, and it makes it better that we don't have it often.  I also love our Christmas Eve tradition. we would go to the church service in the evening, and then go to our friends place after to play games and eat snacks.

Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Always a real tree. as of 2 years ago I think, our whole family has gone to a area where we can cut our own tree down.

What is your all time favourite Holiday treat/snack/sweet?
If you know me then you will know I love my sweets! I think my top favourite is gingerbread cookies, I also love peppermint cookies. its so hard for me to choose.

Be honest, do like giving or receiving presents?
I like giving presents because I like to see the look on peoples faces when hey open it, and I am kind of awkward when opening presents.

What would be your dream place to visit during the holiday season?
I would like to visit London because from the pictures I have seen, it looks so festive and colourful.

Are you a pro present wrapper or do you fail?
I am terrible at wrapping presents, but I do try my best.

Well that was my Christmas Q & A. if you do the Christmas tag, let me know how it went. let me know down in the comments if you enjoyed it. leave me s comment of your favourite Christmas tradition.
Thank you so much for reading!
I hoped you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed doing it.

Blogmas 2017 day 10 & 11 - church + snowday

Hello everyone. I didn't do a whole lot today so I am going to put today and tomorrow together.
 Sunday December 10th
Today I got up to go to church. We got there early because my dad had to usher. me and my sister didn't have to teach, so we sat in the van for a little bit before going in.
 After church we needed to do some errands. First we were hungry so we got lunch first. we went to the mall to eat because we needed to buy my mom a birthday present. next we went to pick up some stuff, then grocery shopping. we also stop at Starbucks before going home. I got my favourite holiday drink, the gingerbread latte. my first gingerbread latte of the season. When I got home I help unload the groceries, then I watched some TV.  It was getting close to supper time. we decided to have Faspa, buns with meat, cheese, tomatoes, and pickles. I had leftover cake for dessert, and then I made my lunch and then went to bed.
 Sorry its a little short but on Sunday I don't do much. it more of a lazy day after we come home from church.
Good night.

 Monday December 11th
This morning I woke up to a phone call, it was a snow day. I went back upstairs after, I tried to go back to sleep nut it didn't happen. I went on my phone until I got up to have breakfast. After breakfast I caught up on my writing. again it was more of a lazy day. I later went to Zumba. we had the different instructor again, because our regular instructor was still away on holiday. since its so close to Christmas we had some Christmas music along with our regular songs.  there was this one song that half way through made my legs burn. Zumba was over so we went home and I had a shower. I didn't have to make my lunch because I don't work tomorrow.
Good night.

Thank you so much for reading!

Blogmas 2017 Day 9 - Christmas tree chopping

Hello,  Welcome back!
Today we went to go shop down our Christmas tree. I got up and got a few layers on, and went down stairs. I couldn't find my snow pants. I bought them last year, but I cant remember what they looked like. I wore my moms old snow pants instead. I got all my stuff on and then I was ready to go.
 We drove to the tree cutting area.

After hours of looking we found one. It took awhile because there wasn't very many good ones. its a little skinny and sparse, but it nice. after we cut the tree down, we took it to the van. The tree was on top of the van, then we got our lunch stuff out..

We made a fire and roasted hot dogs, and had hot chocolate. It was getting cold and late, so we packed up and headed back to the van, and headed home.

when we got home it was late. I went upstairs to write. It was my sisters birthday yesterday, so we had a late birthday dinner for her. We had steak, fries, salad and carrots. For dessert my other sister had made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing that we ate while watching Mary Poppins.  I had a shower after, then went to bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 8 - work & Christmas party

Hello, welcome back to another day of blogmas.
Today at work I volunteered in the morning and started in ratio at 12:00. in the morning I started off in the shark room, we didn't have a lot of kids, so I went to go see what the Monkey's were doing. they were making guacamole. the kids were into it at first, they were smelling things, helping, and one boy even tried a lime. he liked it, he kept coming back for more. After the guacamole was finished, it was time for them to have lunch, so I brought over there lunch tray.  I went back over to the shark room to do heat ups for there lunch. They finished there lunch, and then it was time for the nappers to go nap. since there wasn't many nappers, we sent them to the monkey room to nap. the kids that were not napping had the whole room to play in and not just the library area.
 At 1:00 I went to be with the cheetahs for an hour. there was music on, some where dancing, and some kids were playing. The first song that was put on was Thunder by Imagine Dragons, and Believer also by Imagine Dragons. these are the only two songs that the kids asked to play. after we played them a couple times we switched to Christmas music.
 I went back into the shark room. some of the kids were playing with a mixture of flour and baby oil, it was almost like the feeling of sand.
 After I took my break I served snack. snack was cheese & pepper quesadillas. Not a lot of sharks or cheetahs had snack so we had a lot left over. I Put away snack and finished cleaning the kitchen. I finished cleaning the kitchen and then I played with the kids until it was time to go.
  I was getting a ride to the party with a co-worker. I got off at 5:15 and she got off at 5:30, so I had to wait for her.
I got to the party, and we were waiting for the others to arrive. once everyone was here we ate pizza. there was a lot of pizza, and a lot of food. we finished eating then we played a game. this game was called million dollars, but. its kind of like cards against humanity in the way that you have to sets of card to create a scenario, and you have a judge. you basically have to choose one that you would not do for a million dollars. We ate some cake and cookies after, and played another game. the game was called code name. we chatted for awhile before my sister came to pick me up.
when I got home I was tired, and it was late so I went to bed.
Good night.
