Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving...ahh, a very nice time. A happy time. A giving time. A thankful time.

I went to my Grandparents' for it. Over half of our family was there. The other's don't live in Utah so they don't come usually. After all, back out east is quite far.
Last year we went to a nice restaurant with them. It wasn't as special, but still fun. This year we got food and desserts and stuff to the house and had a feast. We played with cousins before and after the time. Sometimes we don't get along very well, but usually we do. We made up a new game called "Pets." It's fun. And Brandon (my brother, just in case someone doesn't know) is part of it so it's easier to play without leaving him out. Serena, Monica and I can have quite a hard time when it comes to not leaving anyone out. But we have a fun game to play with him now.

The food was mostly good, and I tried the stuffing (yay me!), though I didn't like it very much. Aunt Kirsten also made some delicious "rainbow jello" (which really shouldn't be in quotation marks because it is rainbow).
I like Thanksgiving!

P.S.

Also, as my mom pointed out, my Brother was at the party. And he gave me a very pretty colorful Kleenex box that I have needed for a while. My parents also gave me a lot of stuff like every other year. Here's a list:

• an awesome party
• a ton of cute clothes (something on my list)
• a birthday bear (had gold clothes for my golden birthday)
• an awesome stereo (which is very good because my brother and I are always fighting over the old one, but now I've got my own better one!!!)
• a pack of gum (I was glad for that because my dad took a couple of pieces from my other one. He said he thought it was Mommy's...)

Anyway, it was all great!

My Golden Day

So, Sunday was my birthday. My golden birthday. THE most special B-day I will probably ever have.
Saturday was the party. We went to Fat Cats Bowling Alley. We means me, my mom, my dad, my Aunt Bonnie, her friend Bunker, and eleven other friends. Here are their names:

• Charlotte
  
• Amanda
  
• Amanda's sister, Sarah
  
• The other Sarah
• Brooke
  
• Elise
  
• Katie
  
• Annie
  
• Rachel
  
• Kathrine
• Shannon

I hope they all had fun...

Anyway, it was great. Oh, and here are the presents they gave me:

• Charlotte - a fairy set of Barbie's Fairytopia fairies: Laverna, Elina, and Azura.
• Amanda - a box of stuff, including: bubble bath (of which I used almost half in one bath), lace (a whole roll thingymabobber), a pack of golden and silver pine cones and icicles, and some bead things.
• Amanda's sister, Sarah - a little bracelet thing that you can put fuzzy kitties on (they are really cute!).
• The other Sarah (they are both Sarah L.'s, so I can't say who exactly they are. [Internet safety, I don't want to put my friends in danger]) - a craft kit called twirled paper, really cool! I looked at it a bunch afterwards.
• Brooke - the book "Fairyopolis", a very good journal book (whatever you call it). Amazing pictures and stuff.
• Elise - an ADORABLE colorful poke dotted bag, so cute...oh, and there was this garden stone making kit inside it, can't wait to start decoratin'...
• Katie - a GIANT BOX WITH 40 FLAVORS OF JELLY BELLIES INSIDE, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???!!!???!!! Oh, and also a pack of freakin' awesome magnetic stones (always wanted them...).
  
• Annie - a craft I really would like to do with her, I don't know exactly what it is, but I should find out soon.
• Rachel - an adorable fuzzy bear I named Truffle.
• Kathrine (a.k.a. Kit Kat, as I like to call her) - a webkinz, which I have wanted since I heard about them (about three weeks ago). It's a white "lil'l kinz bunny, and she's so cute! I named her Pearl. Also, Kit Kat gave me a Christmas Count Down, but I have to wait till December to start eating the chocolates. Once a day, as usual...
• Shannon (last but not least) - a bunch of little things, including: a headband, earings, a stuffed penguin, and a box o' butterfingers. Yum!

I got presents from other people too (boy, I still don't understand why I'm not a spoiled brat, I get so much...[maybe I am!])

• Alicia (our good friend Alicia...see back on "Vacation in CA" for more about her) - 11 dollars (man, she is so kind) for my 11th birthday (and my golden one as well), and a little stuffed bunny from McDonald's, but it's still cute, and a box of Lint Chocolates. Yum again!
• Aunt Kirsten - she took me shopping at the fashion place mall and got me a bunch of cute clothes. It was a while ago, but it was a great birthday gift!
• Aunt Bonnie - she gave me a gift as well as fly out to spend my birthday with me! I guess it's because it is my GOLDEN birthday...anyway, her gift was a real gold charm bracelet. If you look closely at the chain you'd see that there are hearts on it about half a centimeter away from each other. And there are also 2 charms on it, one that says Love and the other a heart. She got it for my Golden Dad especially.
  
• Grandma & Grandpa B. - a blue lunch box, a pack of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans (which I won't eat), a state quarter (of which we already had, but oh well), and a lovely skirt. The skirt has a zebra pattern on one part of it, butterflies on another, and red on the rest. It's a very pretty skirt.
• Grandma & Grandpa Wright - 35 buckeroonies (love gettin' those; they are so useful in life)
• My cousins Serena, Monica, David, Sophie, Aunt Sunny and Uncle Nate - an adorable "fairy catching kit" that includes: glitter, an ADORABLE little cage, a sweet, puny net, a sweet, puny magnifying glass, and an information book. I haven't read it, but I will sometime...

Well, I think that's all. I'll update if I get anything else sometime (which I probably won't). Overall, it was a great Birthday!
P.S. Sorry, this post took quite a while to make!

BTW...

My B-day wish list is the same as the Christmas one!

My Golden B-day is So Soon...

Sunday is my Golden Birthday...I can't wait...it's gonna be freakin' fun...♥

5 Things

This was inspired by my Aunt Mish; who just started her blog. Congrats!
Well, I couldn't think of what to write on my blog. I know, that's kind of stupid, 'cause there's a million things I could write about, but I couldn't think of any...so she gave me some ideas. These are the light bulbs:

• 5 things I'm grateful for: My family, my friends, my belongings, my leaders and teachers, and all my other blessings.
• 5 things that embarrass me: Hmmm...hard to say...well, I guess saying wrong answers in class, forgetting my viola on days I have orchestra, thinking I'm right but being wrong, crying in front of other people besides my family, let's see...um, being rude (accidentally, never on purpose).
• 5 memories I want to remember forever: getting to state competition in creative pursuits in 4th grade, going to Hawaii, the fantastic trip to CA, 4th grade (wonderful; the best year and teacher I've ever had), all my B-days (they are fantastic!)
• 5 favorite things/toys: My fairy tree, my swan, my playmobil things, my pink baby blanket (blankey), and my art supplies

I'll add one more to make 5:

• My 5 favorite peoples: My family (including cousins, aunts, uncles, and Grandparents), my friends (I love you all ♥!), President Hinckley (a wonderful man, I tell you), and my Savior. I love them all, and they are very special to me! ♥
  

My 2007 Christmas Wish List

Okay, there kind of is a lot, but I'll name some. Here goes:

• Anything to do with fairies (but must be modest if it's a picture, statue, etc.)
• I like crafts, but be warned: I have six drawers full of 'em, and don't have room for much else!
• Something special, like always
• Playmobil things, including: the rock temple (expensive, but beautiful! Want it...), crystal cage (would be very useful in games - believe me!), um...let me see...well, there are many I would like but those are the main ones...
• A webkin cat; don't ask me about them, I don't have any so I don't know anything, but my friends have told me they are really cute and I'm dying to get one
• Another special thing that I'd like; I ♥ surprises!
• Cute clothes; man, I need more of those!
• Cozy things, like blankets, super soft hats, pillows, etc.
• Anything you guys think I would like! ♥
