Christmas Wish List

Every year, my parents have all of us make a Christmas wish list. It's kindof fun to compare my lists. Here are some of the things I want this year.

• ipod touch 4
• rip-stick
• miss me jeans
• makeup
• jewelry
• lotion
• nail stuff
• vanz
• music
• candy :)

There's lots of other stuff, but those are the basics. I love Christmas!

Our Christmas tree

No idea how my dad did this but this is a little collage/picture of our Christmas tree. Isn't it awesome? There's barely enough room for all the ornaments though! :)

Christmas is coming!

It's finally starting to seem like Christmas! We decorated our tree after Thanksgiving and even little Simon wnated to help! Here are some pics!

Thanksgiving

Well, I didn't get any pictures, but Thanksgiving was a blast! On Wednesday we went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house. They ordered a GIANT jumping castle for all the kids! On Thursday we had our normal Thanksgiving with the Alstons and the Griffiths. There were 25 pies!!! Talk about yum! At the end of the day we sang, and then Savannah and I had a girls' night with Lorraine and Aurie. Friday was Caleb's birthday. In the morning we had his party and then we went to Thatcher. There we had our Davis family Thanksgiving. That night I went to my first church dance with my cousin Mackenzie. It was fun(even though I din't dance with any boys)! Then Savannah and I had a girls' night with Courtney and Mackenzie. Saturday we went to go to Denny's, then went to see Tangled(it was so cute!), and then went to the dollar store. Then we drove home and I went to a party wit hthe 12 and 13-year-olds at my church. We played 007, capture the flag, and had donuts. Crazy weekend, but I had sooooooooo much fun!!!

Being sick is THE WORST!!! I hate it, because I seem to get sick all the time! This time it was a sore throat. And right before Thamkksgiving too! Grrr!

Editing Pictures

Here are a few more pictures I edited with picnik.

Photography

Okay so lately, it seems like everyone is into photography. Whenever everyone's interested in something, I tend not to be. When my dad and Savannah got into photograhpy, all I could say was whoop-dee-do, yawn, and boring. But my dad is getting really serious about photography. He took this picture once when I wasn't looking, and I have to admit, it is one of my better pictures. I am NOT photgenic AT ALL! Then Savannah showed me this cool website called picnik at www.picnik.com. So I messed around with the picture a bit. Now I'm kindof into at least editing. Maybe I'll try doing photography sometime and see how it goes.

Family Reunion

Over the weekend we had a mini family reunion. It was fun! My grandpa's siblings and their kids and grandkids came over. I got to see my cousin Tya again, which was awesome! Plus, the dessert was delicious!!!!

New chickadees

We got new chicks! 9 of them! Josh's two yellow ones are named Maisy and Daisy. Jonah's two orange ones are Cutie and Fluffy. Caleb's two orange ones are Annie and Henny Penny. Savannah's two Arecaunas are Star and Betsy. And my special little silver-laced wyandotte (black and white) is named Gracy (after my other wyandotte that just died named Lacy). They are so cute! Here's a picture!

Halloween

This was at our ward trunk-or-treat. Savannah was a gangster, Josh was a glow-in-the-dark skeleton, Caleb was an archer, Jonah was a vampire, and Simon was a puppy. So fun!!!

Halloween was fantastic! I was a nerd. I also got lots of candy! Yumm!!! Some people might say I'm too old to be trick-or-treating. Boo to them! I love Halloween! And actually, I didn't go trick-or-treating this year, because it was on a Sunday. But I did go to three ward trunk-or-treats, and two Halloween parties which were the best!

Hello Halloween!

It's finally here! I know all the adults out there hate halloween but I love it!

Later I'll try to post some pictures of me in my full nerd costume, but for

now I'll just stick to these. We carve pumkins every year for FHE. The one

on the right was a sad attempt of a princess. The other one made from a

stencil. Real creative, right?

NSBBFFLS!!!

My best friend's name is Kaitlin. She's 14 years old and I absolutely adore her! We do all the things normal best friends do. Take pics, do crafts, Hang out all the time, go places together, etc. But we are more than just friends. We are NSBBFFLS! This of course has a secret meaning that nobody knows but ourselves. I love Kaitlin to death! Here are a couple pictures of us.

These pictures were taken by my dad at discovery park a few weeks ago. He's getting so good at photography, and he asked me to be his model. Kaitlin can come with me, too!

Good Luck Aunt Kami!

My Aunt Kami (in the bottom right corner) is 21 years old now. Which means, for Mormons, she can go on a mission! She is going to Guatamaula for 1 1/2 years! Her calling said that she will be a "nurse specialist,'' but honestly we have no clue what that means. Boy am I going to miss her! But I know she'll be a great missionary. All I have to say is: Good luck Kami! I love you, and I'll try to write you every day on Dear Elder!!!!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXO

Performing

As you probably already figured out, I LOVE SINGING!!!

Savannah, and me during one of our singing performances.

Our biggest performance so far was in front of 400 people!

We call ourselves the Alstons, 2nd Generation, because
