The Mystery of the Christmas Code

Our parents put a code on the Christmas gifts each year. Instead of a sweet little sticker with Santa Clause with his presents and big sack and little labels saying From and To there is a series of black numbers and or letters. Last year I knew one of the presents . . . Mom had told me about it. From that we built off of it. The code has not yet come out this year but I will tell you as soon as it does. 

Now for a mystery to keep us busy. I know!!!! In the beginning of this school year, our Aunt from New Jersey sent out her children's used science supplies. MJ and Eowyn needed them for Science. We waited for ever. They did not come. Aunt Karen called later saying that she had insured the mail. She tracked it to the lost and found in Ohio. It ended up that it had gotten from New Jersey all the way to Kent in Washington. That is about 15-20 minuets from our house. Then the label fell off and it was sent to the closest lost and found . . . in Ohio. The mail men apologized and told our Aunt that they would send it in overnight mail. It came a week and a half later. A few things were broken. Not much. Just a few science slides. Why did it take a week and a half instead of two days? Was it a hidden burglary? Why were a few slides broken? This mystery must be solved by the one and only Blog Detectives!!

Friends, Cousins, and Prince Charmings

Have you just sat down and thought about all your friends. Especially around Christmas time when I am getting gifts I think about all the gifts I need to get. Then I realize how many friends I have. And let me tell you, getting gifts for all my siblings and cousins is no easy task. I have 14 related people to get gifts for. And my friends! But I love shopping. Christmas time is one of the best times to thank God for all your Friends, and Cousins. Why did I put Prince Charmings in the title? I do not know. It just seemed to fit. :)

I meant Mom and Dad's bathroom :) 

Christmas Time!

I love Christmas time. Mom and Dad got a Christmas tree which we are putting up today. Our neighbors put up Christmas lights. There are three big bags filled with presents in Mom and Dads birthday. I have asked a lot of people what they like better, Christmas day or Christmas time? What do you like better? I looked forward to Christmas break and the days after Christmas we get off. I am extra excited because this year I have gotten a lot of gifts for all my friends and family. Christmas music though is one of the best parts. Every year when we first start listening to Christmas music for the very first time I instantly think of all the Christmas past, the laughter, the family, and the friends.
