  1. This year I hope a water proof phone is invented! It would be so cool. You wouldn’t have to worry about water splashing water on it in the pool or having your phone get wet in the rain! Think of all the missed calls and texts you get while you’re in the shower! What if all of those missed texts and calls could disappear? They could with a water proof phone! Also what if you go underwater in a swimming pool and can’t hear your phone ring? That could’ve been the most important call of your life! I think a water proof phone would be another positive thing in our world!
    A place I went over break was to my friend’s house for a New Years Eve party! It was so much fun! There were a bunch of snacks and even a chocolate fountain. Yum! A lot of people came! I think there was a total count of 27 people! At exactly midnight an adult set off fireworks! It was so cool! Some things we did there was make up dances, we did skits and even had a video star contest! It was the best New Years Eve party yet!

  2. Holiday break was great, but my favorite part was the New Year’s Eve party I went to. It was awesome because instead of going to bed I got to party till twelve. But when it did hit twelve I was pooped I couldn’t have gone any longer I was, “let’s go got to wake up early tomorrow morning” overall it was pretty good but that night was awesome. Over break I went to a lot of places but the one I remember the most would have to be the hotel I went to with my cousins. It was a great time we got to swim and watch TV almost all night. But we had to go home at one point. But the next morning we got to go out and eat with them at Perkins. Then we parted they went to The Mall of America and we went home to clean up, but then we met them at Don Pablo’s and totally chowed down. But then we had to go but not without a goodbye hug. And that is what happened over my winter break.

  3. The person I spent most of the time during break was my sister. The reason I love spending time with her is because she likes all of the things I like and we get along with each other. My sister is fun and outgoing which is great when we do snowball fights. She always gets me a Christmas present even if we fight she still is whiling to give me one. She is always the last one out of the house door because she is so slow at getting ready. (Especially on Christmas because she wants to look extra good). For New Year’s our family went to a hotel and while we were swimming me and my sister started throwing basket balls at a boy, it was so fun.
    The best present I gave was to my sister. I gave her a rhinestone phone case. The reason I thought it was special because I tricked her into picking it out and it was the one she really wanted. I always give her presents but I never listen to what she actually wanted and this Christmas I asked and I think it was the best present I have gave her. Me and my sister are cheap because we usually only spend five dollars on each other but this time I spent fourteen dollars on her.

    1. I take the dog on more walks
    2. I exercise more
    3. I do better in sports
    4. I spend more time with my brother before he goes to collage
    5. I help my sister with her homework more
    6. I get my braces on because I want to get them over with
    7. I spend more time with my friends
    8. I spend more time with my family
    9. I read more
    10. I can go to my aunt’s house more because I want to see the horses



    This year I hope that wireless headphones with a built in ipod get invented because I hate having to hold my ipod. Ialso hate having the wires hanging down. I think this would help because it would be a lot easier to bring places you don’t have to bring the ipod and the headphones. I think that the headphones should come in lots of different varieties. The should come in BIG, medium, and small. The colors include red orange yellow green blue purple pink black brown and white. I think this would be a great invention.

  5. This year will be the best year ever because Bioshock Infinite will be released and I have been waiting for that game to come out science 2010. I also have a new quote to say “have I ever told you the definition of insanity? Insanity is when someone does the same thing over and over and expects it to be different and that’s what I see all these pricks doing the exact same thing every day. They go to their jobs work go home and repeat and hope something will be different.”-Vaas Farcry 3. When Bioshock Infinite comes out you will be able to use zip lines to get around fast. Your daughter Eleanor can also be able to raise the dead with her powers and she can change the scenery.
    My new year’s resolution is to finish a giant pile of unfinished games I have just waiting to be finished which includes MW3, Call of duty 4, Assassins creed, halo 3, and etc… One I finish the games I can take them and sell them to the game store (High score games) and they can sell them to their customers as pre owned. I can use the money to buy more videogames and repeat the process over. It’s a fun circle but a vicious time eating pattern that takes skill to complete (not real skill but skill games talk about). I think it will be a good new year’s resolution even though it is about what I consider hard.

  6. An invention that I hope will come out in 2013 would be a touchscreen television remote. I fell that it would be nice if it was like an iPod; small and can fit in your palm. It would be able to control all settings on the television and perhaps even more. For the fun of it- it would cool if it could create holograms!
    This year will be the best year ever because, I am hoping to spend lots of time with my friends/team in DI or Destination Imagination. It will be the best with them because we have put a lot of hard work into making our team stronger in 2012 I want all of our hard work to pay off in 2013 during competition season in DI and hopefully make it to Global Finals!! Cross our fingers! This will be a fun year… and I am sure of that!

  7. 1. This year I hope that someone will find a stable element that has an atomic number bigger than
    110
    2. This year I hope that I can get a 24+ on the AMC 8
    3. This year I hope that I can get 100+ on the AMC 10
    4. This year I hope I can get an A in UMTYMP
    5. This year I hope someone will discover a quick cure for Bronchitis or Pneumonia
    6. This year I hope the U.S. debt can be payed
    7. This year I hope there will be less fires and car accidents
    8. This year I hope I get a 700+ on math SAT
    9. This year I hope my mom won’t ban me from minecraft
    10. This year I hope I make it to mathcounts state

    I hope someone will be able to discover a way to go at light speed or near light speed. If we can do that then we can possibly find a new planet like earth elsewhere in the galaxy. They can possibly use light to propel the spacecraft and have it speed up faster and faster until it is almost at light speed. I think launching it at the star would be very difficult because it they miss by one degree they might end up a light year away from their destination. I really hope that wouldn’t happen because we would be in more debt.

  8. What I Did With My Family Over Break… My family Hosted 2 Christmas parties! The First one was with my dad’s side of the family! My Aunt and Uncle came whom I haven’t seen for a long while; came! That was cool! What probably was the coolest thing I got from my dad’s side of the family Christmas was a Android Tablet, “The Trio”... That was cool!! Also for Christmas day my mom’s side of the family came! She has a, kind of, bigger family so it’s always longer and crazier! Also the kids… They go Crazy! One of the things I got from my Mom’s side of the family Christmas; that was very, intriguing was a Rocket that went over 600 feet in the air!!!
    A place you went with your family… For the day Before New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, and part of the day after; my family stayed at the Double Tree. My aunt, uncle, and cousin from my dad’s side of the family, stayed with us. We had joining rooms with them!!! Also my grandma, uncle, aunt, and 2 cousins stayed over too… their room was nest to ours too, three rooms together! That place was AWESOME!!! I stayed up past 1:00 am both nights! Also on New Year’s Day, for most of the day; we had the whole pool area to ourselves! When the bell wrong 12:00am the whole pool place erupted with cheering and screaming!!!!! It was soo loud!!! I wish I could go back and stay there for a few more nights! Hey, maybe I will some time!

  9. The best gift I ever gave someone was a gift I gave to my mom. It was a glass Hersey kiss that was hollow on the inside and you could take the top off. I got a giant real Hersey kiss and put it on the inside of it. It was special because it was pretty expensive and I usually get her homemade gifts. It was the best one I have given her and she liked it.

    One thing I did with my family over break was take down all the Christmas decorations. It really doesn’t seem like a lot until all of them are in boxes on the kitchen floor and all over the dining room table. After all of them were gone it seemed so much less cheery in my house and everything looked so boring. Taking it down took a lot of time and we went room by room. My brother dropped one behind the T.V. and had to stick has arm threw the T.V. stand for 10 minutes until he got it. Not even one decoration can be left behind!

    This will be the best year ever because for Christmas I got an iPhone 4s. I also have a lot of awesome friends. My dance season is going good I think my team will score a high gold maybe even platinum. My mom also said I could probably get a guinea pig for a pet because my pet rat snow ball died last year. So this year I think is going to be okay for the most part. But this year also may be bad because later in the year I have to spilt schools and not see my friends for about three years until we come back together. Also my parents are getting a divorce so that makes my life header. I think in the end this year will be a mixture of good and bad.

    I think I brought joy to my cousin’s daughter this season. I think that because I gave her a frog toy that has always been mine and now she can enjoy it. She also came over to our house with her mom and I watched Diego go with her because she’s 1. I think she enjoyed when we colored or looked at the pretty Christmas lights. I loved playing with her and she loved it to. I know she liked it because she refused to leave.

  11. One of the best things I gave to someone… It was a One Direction watch and iron on label for a sweater. It was one of the best because my friend and I, love One Direction and I thought it’d mean a lot to her if I bought her some 1D merchandise. Another best present I gave was to my mom. I gave her a small basket filled with Ghirardelli chocolate, ice breakers, more candy, and a pair of hoop earrings. (I always get her earrings- because that’s what she likes.) It was special because I like to give my mom gifts. Especially gifts she likes. She gives a lot of things to me and does a lot of things for me so I thought it’d be nice to give to someone that gives so much to you.
    This year will be the best year ever because… My cousin will be graduating the class of 2013. Plus, it’ll be summer! I’ll be swimming all day with warmth instead of coldness. I’m also getting money… to save for the One Direction concert! That’s another reason why this year will be the best year ever, because my friend and I are going to see 1D perform live at the Target Center. It’ll be so much fun, it was my dream to go to one of their concerts. I might even be going to Florida or California, depending on what amusement park we’d like to go to- Disney World or Disney Land. I would prefer to go to California which is because I think it’ll be more of a vacation spot and sight-seeing place. But then again I think that I would want to go to Florida because their Disney World seems bigger and better. Or I can just go visit my Grandma in Arizona. This year will be my golden birthday too. I’ll be thirteen on Friday the 13th. Cant wait…

    I hope a machine that helps me with 6th Grade life will be invented in 2013.The machine rolls around the school on two wheels and has a programmable locker system. You bend down and type in your locker combination on a pad, programming the robot to open your locker by itself. When you need to open your locker, press the “open locker” button. A small sticky arm will be released. Sticking on to your locker, it will spin in the combination for your locker and open it. Then it will say “open locker order completed successfully. “The machine can be programmed to tell you exactly what your homework was for each class every night, having a reaction to the word “homework” and being able to record the teacher telling you your homework. You can also write down any notes or other important things that you need to remember and scan them. The robot will then beep if you forget something, and words will scroll across its small screen .After the robot opens your locker you will see a list of the books you need for all of your classes. It will carry your books in a small metal bag attached to its back. The robot is approved by the district and the school.
    The best gift that I gave this year was a small paper coupon book for my parents. It was extra special because I spent hours sewing the small paper pages together, decorating the front with intricate drawings and messages, cutting out small coupons, and pasting them inside. Then I made each coupon expire at the end of every month. Every month the coupon was for chores such as bringing out the garbage or making the beds. One coupon was a double coupon. You could make a double of your favorite coupon in the entire booklet. My parents think that my present is very special, not only because it is handmade but because it is very useful.

  13. A person that I spent time with over break was with one of my three cousins, for now let’s call her “Coco”. I didn’t exactly ENJOY the time… Where ever I went I saw a Coco following me, I remember walking back and forth in the store trying to get her off my tail but she was constantly beside me or behind me, Coco has two little brothers and I can kinda see why she was following me because her brothers played with each other while she was alone looking for maybe an older sister like me. I was okay with Coco following me until she started putting her nose into my things and CONSTANTLY asking questions every 30 seconds, silly questions too! Like “Should I drink water now?” or “Can I go to the bathroom?” who asks those type of questions?!? I don’t OWN her or anything! Anyways, on Christmas we went to a party and I wore a dark blue dress, two seconds after she sees me wearing the dress, Coco went up to her mom and says “I WANT A DRESS LIKE iNeedaDonutNeow’s DRESS!!” she was SUPER mad when she found out she doesn’t own a dress like me but for me when I found out I did the happy snoopy dance.
    Something that I hope would be invented this year would be “The Camera Watch” I’ve always wanted to be famous and that very invention would help me, the idea came to me in a dream, where I stole the watch from a store and taped my life, I became famous after that and it was the BEST DREAM EVER… During my study hall, I drew out how it would look and all the features it would hold like the plug in for you to upload the video and an editor feature… The only problem is, imagine how much it would cost! I have the dream to be famous one day and have my own show, and then I would publish my diary, like in diary of a wimpy kid and have billions of dollars…. And of course after that I would become a celebrity and meet One Direction all because of “The Camera Watch”.

  14. In the next year I hope they invent Iron Man and all of his gadgets. I think it would be amazing if we had the midair tablets and the projection thing. The midair tablets are like giant ipads that are as thin as paper and can float in the air. The projection thing is when you take a picture off the screen and it blows up in the air and it’s all used to help him with work. The iron man suit would make me fly and I could blow up stuff with my hands my life wish is to fly without having to be in an airplane, I think it would be very thrilling and exciting. The Iron Man things could make the world possibly a little safer!
    One way I would like to change my life is by expanding my horizon and trying new things. By exploring new ideas I think I think I could become a much more well-rounded person. I would like to try new and different sports so that different parts of my body are used and I don’t always get overworked. I would also in the future maybe like to try some new activities after or before school. When I’m older the different classes I could take could help me with figuring out what I want to be!

    This year I hope flavored tooth- paste is invented because I don’t like mint tooth-paste. I don’t like mint tooth-paste because after you brush your teeth your mouth is minty and then later it’s still minty and then everything you eat tastes bad.
    This year I hope
    1. Flavored tooth-paste is invented.
    2. I can hang out with friends more.
    3. My tadpoles I got for Christmas don’t die.
    4. I can get a horse.
    5. I can go to the horse races with my family.
    6. My friends and I can make a lot of money at our lemonade stand.
    7. I don’t get cavities.
    8. I can go fishing with my friends.
    9. I get braces just so I can get them over with.
    10. I hope my parents will let me have a pet other than a fish.

    The gift I struggled with this year was for my older brother. He is in swimming, I had to get him a present and I remember last time I was at his swim meet he didn’t have a swim cap. So I went to the sports store and got him a red swim cap because that was one of the two team colors. It was only $5.00 so I got him a $15.00 ITunes gift card. I got my other brother a $25.00 gift card to a near -by tackle shop. A little while before Christmas I went with my mom to one of his swim meets. He was wearing a swim cap! It wasn’t the one I bought him so I started worrying that he had got one from his coach. Later I figured out he borrowed it from a friend just for the swim meet. WHEW!

    This year I hope……….1.) I will get a pet hamster
    2.) I will get a Sharp Award
    3.) I will get to go skiing
    4.) I will get a birthday party
    5.) My brother will pass his driving test in March
    6.) My basketball team wins in our first basketball game
    7.) My neighbors buy the house so they don’t move (they rent their house)
    8.) We will get a snow day this year
    9.) I will start piano again soon since Christmas is over
    10.) I will read more books

  17. Something that I want invented is the Xbox 720. I want this invented because it will be compatible to hold 4 discs at 1 time. Also you can hold 2 screens of games at the same time. A bad part about it is that Microsoft won’t release it until 2015. Another bad thing about the Xbox 720 That since it will come out in 2015, nobody will want it because it will be glitchy and something cooler would have been created. But overall I’d rather have it invented this year so I can have it now and not wait 3 years for it.
    My New Year’s resolution was to have an opinion on things. I wanted this to be my new year’s resolution because my parents make me do a lot of stuff that I don’t want to do. Also why because when my parents ask me what I want I usually just say that I don’t care. Usually I’m pretty easy going but when my parents make me do stuff like band it makes me mad. I ask my parents but they say I have to finish up band but then I can’t go in general music, I have to go in choir which is just as bad as band. I think this resolution is perfect for me because my parents need to learn that I can do what I want.

  18. The best gift I gave to someone was probably “The three Stooges” movie set that I got my brother. The movie pack has 7 DVD’s and up to 11 hours all together. I think that this gift is special to my brother because he always wants to watch them and when he does, he laughs hysterically. Even though it was a gift for my brother, it feels like a gift for the whole family. And it is always fun to watch something that is black and white and from the past!

    My family and I always go down to my grandma and grandpa’s house for Christmas. My mom’s brother and sister’s families are also there. We always have pork chops, mashed potatoes, and grasshopper pie. A minty flavored pie with a Oreo crust. After dinner or (lunch) we open presents from all of the relatives. All of the kids play outside in the snow for about an hour. Then we all have snacks and cookies for supper. We normally always have a great time!

  19. The best gift I gave this Christmas was to my mom. I gave her a softball charm for her bracelet. It was special because I love softball and the charm is like a reminder to her of me! My sister and my puppy also got her one. My sister, Ashley got her a charm that has a heart on it and says mom. My puppy got her a little dog charm holding a bone. Even though everyone got her a charm I still think the one I gave her was special.

    The day after Christmas my family went to Michigan to see my cousins, my Aunt and my grandparents. Since it was snowy we decided to meet at a hotel and to exchange gifts and swim. The hotel we went to was the same one we went to last year. We got there after everyone else was settled in and as soon as we were settled in we opened gifts. After opening a ton of great gifts we went swimming, which is what I’ve wanted to do. We only spent two days there but I had a blast with my mom’s side of the family.

  20. During break I went to my grandparents house. They live up north by Lake Superior. My family and I were the only people there. We had a blast while we were up there! My siblings and I went snow shoeing, sledding and snowboarding. When we got cold, we came inside and had hot chocolate. It was delicious!!! My grandma helped us make cookies. They were chocolate chip. I ate one right when they came out of the oven. The chocolate melted in my mouth and they were gooey. It was really fun at my grandparents house!
    The best gift I ever gave my grandparents was a book that had pictures of all the memories we had in the past year. They just had there anniversary and we went to Maddens, in Brainerd for it. When we were there, we went on a pontoon ride to go fishing. We also went swimming in the lake. My mom’s whole side of the family was there. We also put pictures of our cabin including when we went skiing, tubing and fishing. The book is special because my grandparents will always have it. They will always remember the year of 2012.

  21. It’s the New Year! And this will be the best year ever. Because I have a resolution to become smarter and raise my grades up. This year I am going to really try to make my resolution come true. And that’s what’s going to make this the best year ever. I made this goal because I would like to change my life this year and expanding my knowledge is one of the most important things I want to do. One of the other changes I would like to happen is how hard I try to get things done. I do give effort in things I do but I feel that I can do better than what I do know.

    This New Year I plan to make a big change from past years. I plan to really give it my all. And I plan to follow my new year’s resolution. Because I want to get better at everything I do from now on. And I will give all my effort to make that happen.

  22. • This year I hope that the Hobit #2 will be in theaters.
    • This year I hope to get all A’s and have a great rest of the school year.
    • This year I hope to not get Poison Ivy.
    • This year I hope to play football in the fall.
    • This year I hope to read the last book in the Maximum Ride series.
    • This year I hope to pay more attention in class.
    • This year I hope it will snow more.
    • This year I hope to learn how to do more tricks on my new Ripstick.
    • This year I hope to get a better grade in math.
    • This year I hope to even read more books than last year.

    Something that I want to be invented this year is… A middle school where you don’t have to wake up so early to go to. Lots of people aren’t doing their best in school because they wake up to early to school. If there was a new middle school that started at something like 9:00AM students there would be getting better grades. This school would also benefit for the teachers. They could grade more papers in the morning and not have to do so much grading during the weekend.

  23. One thing I did with my family over break was that my Dad and I went over to his friend’s house to watch the football game and watch the Viking Win and get into the playoffs. While I was taking a break from watching Football my friend and I went on the laptop playing games. As we were playing we could hear my Dad and his friends yelling with joy as Adrian Peterson made is move and ran the ball over and over getting closer to getting a touchdown with every step, while also getting closer to breaking the record of reaching 2150 yards in the regular season. But he wasn’t able to break the record that was set in 1980’s, but he was able to make it to the playoffs with the help of the Viking players and fans watching the game. On the way to my Mom’s friend’s house, my Dad and I were talking about football like the whole time and my brothers and mom didn’t even know what we were saying.


    A place that I went over break was to New York, Manhattan with my cousins and family. The trip was paid for us from our aunt because it was our Christmas present from her and she wanted us to have fun. We left at 12:00 and stayed at the airport until 2:45 where we started to board the plane. We landed at 6:00 but for Minnesota we had landed at 5:00 since New York was an hour ahead of us. We stayed at a hotel named POD it was a really fancy hotel and our room had a TV, Two Beds but something was missing…….There was no Refrigerator I said to myself ‘What are we going to eat and where will we put are food if we buy some, where will we put our water!’. My Mom told me we would go eat at McDonalds for Breakfast and Lunch; luckily we were only staying there for 3 days so I wouldn’t eat fast food all day. The main reason we were here was to go to a party at Trump Towers because my aunt was really good friends with the Wife of the husband (who is rich) and was invited to there to a party. The party was at the party was at the top two floors where we could see the river and buildings. But they had only 2 daughters so we were entertained by fake princesses and princes that dressed like pirates

    My family went to our cabin over winter break. The first thing we did is see the movie Les Miserables it was horrible, because they could not say a single word without singing so it was boring and very hard to understand. We also went to see The Hobit and it was a lot better, because it was filled with action and no singing. However there wasn’t as much action in The Hobit as the other movies in that series. We went ice fishing as well and to get out on the ice we used the snow mobile. I didn’t care about fishing, but tying the sled to the snow mobile and moving was really fun. That was my trip.

  25. I had a very winter break. Starting out on Christmas Eve I went to my Grandparent’s and Great grandma’s for Christmas it’s always fun there. But this time I had such a bad migraine I ended up throwing up, not because I was sick, just because of the pressure. About an hour later I woke up to talking in the living room so I walked out and said, “I feel like a million bucks!” Everyone had opened their presents. They were just talking and chilling out while I they waited on me to open my presents. I got a really cool Minnesota Gopher sweat shirt, a 410 shotgun and about $200 dollars in gift cards from everybody. I was pretty cool. After I opened my presents me and my cousins just played around, wrestling is something to always expect when you go down there on any big event. The 410’s we got were pretty awesome, we had to share them between me and my two other cousins Cole and Brody, probably Wyatt when he grows up, he’s only 2 now. Then the next day was Christmas only my two other grandmas came over, not the ones when went to on Christmas Eve. We had a fun time we cooked a lot of food, Ham, green bean casserole, some sweet potato dish and Mac-and-Cheese, always the best. The day after me, my sister, and her boyfriend all went to MOA, and spent our gift cards. I got a bunch of hats, new clothes and a wallet. Then the next day we went to EP Center, and I bought myself a pair of Sperry’s! I think it was one of the best besides the ones with lots of snow.

    A place I went over break was my grandma’s house for Christmas. Every year we go there she hires a photographer too professionally take our pictures. After we got our pictures taken we went to the Hubble house. The next day we opened presents and exchanged presents. What we do if your over 12 you have to make a “homemade” gift for your person. How you choose your “person” is we put everyone’s name in a bucket and everyone draws a name. If you got your name you had to draw again.

  27. I`d like to change my life this year by setting goals and trying my best to reach them. I have to admit I’ve been doing the bare minimum and just sliding by life. Honestly, that feeling sucks. Even personal goals I`ve set for myself are just left alone and untouched. Teaching myself to accomplish my dreams in life will defiantly help me in my future years ahead. I keep complaining how life sucks right now but, I haven’t been doing anything to help myself. But this year it`s all gonna change.

    The best gift I’ve ever gotten was an iPod. Music is such a big part of my life and I couldn’t imagine going a day without it. Music wakes me up in the morning and closes my eyes at night. It`s helped my understand life. Even understanding myself better. Being able to take music with me wherever I go is an amazing feeling. I know I`m very fortunate to have these things… I wish that someday everyone will understand the importance of music.

  28. One of the best gifts I got for Christmas was a necklace with my birthstone inside. The Topaz is surrounded by real Silver. The Topaz is real also. The necklace can break really easily, and I would know because I almost broke it already. My birthstone is a Topaz and its light blue. My mom said she has been saving it for me for a long time, and decided to give it to me on Christmas. I thought it was one of my best gifts. I can’t believe my mom spent that much money. Plus, that necklace came with matching earrings. There the same as the necklace. Topaz, Surrounded by real Silver. I really like my necklace and earrings.
    Something me and my family did this winter break was, we had a HUGE dinner on Christmas Eve. It was so good! There was, Shrimp, Crab Legs, Prime Rib, Potatoes, Asparagus, Corn. Even more. There was so much food, I couldn’t even finish what was on my plate. At the table it was, Me and my family, then my Grandparents. Right after dinner, we got to open presents. I got really good presents. I got almost EVERYTHING on my list. I had a lot of fun that Christmas Eve. I hope the same thing happens next year.

  29. The best gifts I got this year on Christmas was my PS3 from my parents. I also got Black Ops 2 from my step sister. I also got Madden 13 from my other sister. I may not get along with my family but when it comes to Christmas I do get along with them Christmas in my family brings us closer together.

    This winter break I mostly spent it with my step sister because I barely get to hangout and talk to her. She’s 15 now and She lives in Brooklyn park with her mom. My sister and I hung out at her house and we went to the mall we went to that new Forever 21 store it is huge. I also spent my winter break with my cousin he’s 16 he has his driver’s license meaning he can take me anywhere. I also went to the mall with him and his friends. It was really fun we went to the Nike store and I got a lot of stuff.

  30. I spent a lot of time with my dad. He’s tall ,a good cook, and very, very, very sweet. My dad is probably my favorite person on the planet. My dad is always so kind and loving and caring. My dad is always there for me. Over break we would sit on the couch together, drink water or hot chocolate, and watch a Christmas movie. If I didn’t have him in my life, I don’t know how I would survive. I am definitely a true daddy’s girl and I couldn’t be prouder to be one.
    The best present I probably got for Christmas was my Kindle Fire HD from my grandparents down in Florida. I was so happy when I saw the box (with the smile on it) I looked on the side and I saw the 3 words “KINDLE FIRE HD” I was squealing like a little girl getting that new doll she’s been wanting all year. My brothers, step-brother, step-sister, and I all got one. Once we were done opening all our presents and cleaning up all the wrapping paper we called our grandparents and thanked them. We all got nice cases to keep them safe in. But it didn’t end there. Our parents and grandparents bought us tickets to take a plane and go to Florida!!! We were all screaming like CRAZY!!! We were leaving for Florida early in the morning to get to the airport around 6:00-6:30 a.m. on January 13th. And we were coming back January 20th. Those were the two best Christmas presents ever!

  31. A place that my family and I went to is a hotel In Bloomington for New Year’s Eve. We went with a couple of friends. First the kids swam in the pool doing belly flops, Front flips, and dives. We found out that the pool had way too much chlorine because our eyes were very red. We went back to our rooms to eat pizza. I ate a lot of pizza. After that the kids and parents split up kids in one room parents in another. We kids were running around the hotel playing tag while the adults were playing board games. Than we all came together to watch the ball drop. After that we all went to sleep. That’s my story of going to a hotel.


    For Christmas this year I got Beats by DR. Dre. They were red studios that have amazing sound. I wanted them so badly and I got them. For Christmas I also got an ipad for music to listen to with my beats. The Ipad was the latest and greatest version. For my ipad I got 90$ in itunes so I got a lot of apps. I got subway surfers and bike race were my favorite.

  32. 1: Over winter break, I got to go to Sky Zone, the indoor trampoline park. In there, almost everything is trampolines. Even the walls! I got to bring one of my friends to come there with me, and so did my sister. We were there for a little after an hour. That may seem short, but you can get really tired and exhausted really quick.
    2: Then, some gifts I got for Christmas are, an Xbox I helped pay for. But I got 2 games for the Xbox. I got, Dance Central 3 and Epic Mickey 2 the Power of 2. A pair of Uggs. They are the ones that are all gray, and then have a button on the side. I got a Hollister lace shirt, and a pair of Miss Me jeans. And then, the best gift I got was from my parents. I got a dog! Well, really a puppy. A real one! He is still only 2 months. We all agreed on the name Willey. His breed is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is the Ruby colored. But on his chin, down his stomach, it is all white. And that is some of my favorite gifts! :)

    The best gift I got this year was a Kinect for my Xbox 360. It was special because I always wanted one and now I have one. It was also special because it was a present from my mom. Also it was special because I thought my mom wouldn’t remember that I wanted one. It was also very special because my mom put some special things in and on the Kinect when I got it.

  34. 1. Something my Family did over Break was, go to The Mall America. We went Two days after Christmas Day. Mainly to spend Christmas money. Also to just have a Lot of Fun. I had Eighty-Six Dollars to spend with Christmas money and Allowance added up. We went to many, many stores but yet only bought a few things. I bought some Clothing and quite a few pieces of jewelry. I really enjoyed bonding with my family, and the Shopping part too. When the skies darkened and Night fell, we ate dinner at this restrant called iHop. Then a wonderful day came to an end.

    2. The best gift I got for Christmas was my Zayn Malik Autographed picture and my iPhone. These were the best because they are the two items I wanted most. The Zayn Malik Autograph was cool because it was an Autograph from ZAYN MALIK!!!!!!!!!!!! :D My iPhone was pretty neat because I have been wanting one for years and now I have one. c; This was by far the best Christmas by far. (NotBragging) ! But yeah, the reason I wanted an iPhone was because all of my Friends had one and I didn't. But, I hope everyone had a really good Christmas like me! Happy New Year! :P

  35. I HOPE IN THE YEAR 2013 FLYING CARS WILL BE INVENTED. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT INVENTION AND I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY HAVENT ALREADY. THE HAVE AIRPLANES AND HELICOPTERS, WHY CANT THEY MAKE A FLYING CAR? If they had flying cars they should take a Ferrari and put little wings on the side of the doors and thrusters under the back lights. And under the car should be a solar panel powered hover device. They should be able to go fast and have a glass dome for a wind shield.

    Over winter break I and my family went to our lake cabin. It was really fun. The lake was froze over so we shoveled away some of the snow and then we had an ice rink. Yaaaaay! :D I went fishing with my grandpa to and we caught seven fish I caught 6 he caught on but we lost 3. Dangit. Then one Monday we came home from our cabin and I hung out with my friends and watched the ball drop on new years evev.

  36. My new year’s goal is to stop drinking loads of pop. It all started after a visit from my grandpa. He always preferred water or milk and I respected him for that, so he told me the pop would eventually get to my brain and make me super crazy. That’s when I heard a news story about how pop can make you eat more and more food. Time to stop I said in my head. That’s how it all started!!!!!!!

    The best present I got this holiday season was my I Pad Mini. It is so fun to play with plus most of my other presents add into it. I have so many apps right now it’s hard to count. I love the camera so I can take pictures and draw on them to. I love it so much all my friends love it to. Thank you mom and dad!!!!!!

  37. Over brake I went to my grandparents. When we were there I was outside on the snowmobile. My grandparents live in the country, so there is a lot of land to ride on. I normally go around the farm by myself but when my fingers get cold I ride with my cousin. It’s really fun to ride with someone but it’s also fun to ride by yourself and control the snowmobile, go as fast as you what hit the bumps or not. I loved riding the snow mobile.
    For Christmas I got lots of cool things, but my favorite was seeing my uncle. Some of my family lives all over country and my uncle happens to live in Florida. I don’t get to see him that much unless we go up to Florida but not this time he came to us. I really got to hang out with him, he told me stories and stuff about him when he was a kid. I’m glad I got to talk to my uncle this Christmas.

    My family and I watched a bunch of movies the best was the hunger games, my favorite part is when Katness has really good aim with her bow and is really good I love seeing her play Archery.
    The movie I did not like at all was my sister’s princess movie and I had to watch it with her so I did and that at least made my sister happy.
    We also played bored games and I almost never one accept for one time my sister almost always won.
    The best game was hedbanz you have to were a headband an put a card on your head without looking and you have to guess what is on your card. Hedbanz is the best game in the world it sounds boring but it is really fun and enjoyable.

  39. 6) I think this year is going to the best year because there were people in the school that bully and know they don’t because of the courage retreat we went to. I think this school really changed. And there is probably going to be A LOT of new things that people are going to make it would be really cool to see the new things people are going to make this year. And my new year resolution will help[ me with things too! I just think this year is going to be different from the rest of the 12 years I’ve been in.

    1) The best I ever got was this one robot dairy it was really cool it had a magic marker and no one could see the writing I wrote but me. You can talk to it and stuff all you had to do is say the password and it would open it had a secret compartment in it and I can put this in it was the coolest present I ever got . Until I lost it but, it had legs too. It could walk around like a dog I wish I had it stil.

My family and I stayed there for 2 days. My family and I had to pick up a stranger that my grandma knew and we were in our car for 7 hours with the man. It was a great Christmas because everyone was happy.

    Over break me and my mom made a surprise birthday party for my dad, he was turning 40. Everybody that my dad knows was there. My dad got a 40 year old kit, an hour cloak and lot of wine. My friends’ dad made a slide show with mostly all my dad’s memories that was when he was a kid, my dad didn’t even know about most of them. My dad’s sister helped get all of the pictures and she lives in India she is the best. He was so surprised and had a very good time. I hope next year we will throw an even better surprise party. SHHHHHH don’t tell him it will ruin it!!!!
    For Christmas I got a phone and the new diary of a wimpy kid book. I am really excited about my phone. I am always on it and I get in trouble for using it to much. My brother got a mini fools ball table, a mini basketball hoop, a huge basketball hoop and a toy truck. I know that is a lot of stuff for my brother but I got a phone and that is bigger than anything in the whole world. Ok not anything but most of the stuff in the world.

    10. All of my teachers like me.

    I brought joy to someone this year during the holidays. It was my mom. See me and my brother wanted to do something nice this holiday season and do something to cheer my mom up, so that being said my mom drove me to Burnsville mall and dropped me off with my brother to go inside. We checked out the Pandora® section of the Jared store we were in and bought a few charms. I held on to my portion of the gift and he held on to his. Then on the 23rd of December we met him at his apartment. Every five minutes I kept saying, “Can we give her gift to her yet?” when finally we did and her face lit up with joy and happiness. Let me tell you THAT was a sight to see. My brother got her a camera and a bible charm and I got her a charm that said “mom” on it with three jewls right next to each other in the shape of a flower.

  43. I wish they would invent a game system that you can go into the game. When you die or leave you would go to where you were when you started. If you want to play with friends or without because it is international. So you can play with people all over the world. And you can play with people right next to you.


    I got a Polaroid tablet it is a 10in. It has bubbles in the screen so I had to get them all out. Then I had to get an app store downloaded. Then I had to download all the games I want. But, after all the work I got to play my tablet. I downloaded Skype to chat with my friends.

  44. One thing I got over break was a new iPod. I already have one but it was getting old and cracked. I don’t have many games on it yet, but I got some cool ones. I also got a new case for it too. The case black and blue and it is waterproof and shockproof. The iPod is really cool and addicting. I play on it a lot.
    Over winter break I went to Mankato for a hockey game. It was a long and boring drive to Mankato. The game was really long. At the end they scored and it was a tie 1-1. When the game was over we went home and then straight to my grandma and grandpa’s house to open gifts. I got cool stuff for Christmas. I hockey related stuff and a video game at their house.

  46. The best thing I got for Christmas was a sketchbook with colored pencils. So now all the things in my head shall be painted, and ever thing, although my sister uses it more than me.
    Something my family did during break was watching a play at church about Christmas. And my sister used my sketchbook to draw my favorite games.
    Something I wish would be invented would be a flying car because you could go anywhere at all, want impale the moon, stick a javelin to your car and drive.

  49. The thing I got for Christmas that I liked was an apple gift card worth 25$ I was asking for the gift card or something like it is because there was a game that I really wanted the game was Plants VS Zombies. On Christmas when I finally got it. I was really happy, I bought Plants VS zombies and bought some other things with my gift card. I was asking for the gift card for about 2 months. My mom was getting really annoyed because I kept asking I was expecting just a 10$ gift card but my mom went over the top. She bought me a 25$ gift card. The other things that I bought were songs and a movie for me to watch on my long plane ride to NY. When I was at NY I went to a lot of places. I bought some chocolates for my mom and a new watch for my dad. My mom and dad were planning a surprise present for me. When I came into the hotel my mom and dad surprised me with a new iPhone 4S. I didn’t really ask for one because I had an old iPhone. The first generation, But I didn’t care when I got the iPhone I was really happy because they managed to surprise me with a present I didn’t even ask for. At New Year’s Eve the was at time square for the ball drop. There were a lot of guards to keep anyone from getting out of line. There were a lot of food stands. We bought a hotdog and some French fries. After the ball drop we came back to our hotel and relaxed until morning. After we woke up we went to the airport to get back to Minnesota and just relax for the free day.

  50. This year I hope I get, an iPhone for my Birthday, Uggs, Braces (so I can have nice teeth), and a kitten (even though I already have two cats, a pool and a hot tub, my family gets our basement finished. I get a bigger house and I get a flat screen TV in my room even though I already have a TV in my room. A lot of these things probably won’t happen because I kind of made up random things but they would be nice if they could happen though.
    I hope that someone will invent something for girls and how they use boots. The invention would be a Velcro that would wrap around your pants and then you can just slide your pants in your boots and you don’t have any of your pants sticking out of your boot. (That really bothers me). My mom said in her free time she will try and invent that because she really wants that and hopefully she could make a lot of money from it. Because new inventions are on TV all the time and my mom thought that would be a good idea.

  51. I went with my family to hyland to ski. I started on a medium hill, and then went to the bunny hill with my friend that came late. Cause she hadn’t anywhere in her life. So I helped her but she stayed on the bunny hill she didn’t want to go on any other hills. So I went with my parents to the train park and skied there for a little while and then we went to a hill on the other side and it was a black diamond.

  52. The coolest thing I got for Christmas was ether my new skateboard or my kindle fire HD. The kindle fire HD is cool because it has a really cool game called basketball shoot, which I’m the king at, also my skateboard because it is an actual skateboard and it is really light so doing ollies is really easy now and getting easier to do kick flips and pop shove-its.
    What I really want to be invented is an Xbox portable because they already have a PsP and a PS Vita, Ps3, Ps2, Ps1 but for Xbox they have just have a regular Xbox and a Xbox 360 and no Xbox portable and I am a Xbox freak so that is why I thin k they should have a Xbox portable.

  53. One thing I did with my family is go to nickelodeon universe. I went with my aunt and my little cousin. We had a great time, the only ride my cousin did not like was this one that went into a cave by the log ride. She did not like the machine lumberjacks, but she otherwise loved it.after lunch I got a little sick and did not go on many rides after but I still had fun.
    One other thing I did over break was go over to my neighbors they have a big ice rink in their back yard that they build every winter. We went over ,it was only the second time I’ve been on skates but after a while I got the hang of it we played a game of hockey we lost but we still had fun doing it.my sister just got here skates so this was her first time she still needs a little practice.

My cousins came down from Texas to see us we played all day every day they were so happy with us that when they had to back to Texas they both cried. I was upset that they left because we won’t see them for 6 months

  56. Over winter break my family and 2 other family’s went to the cabin in Crosby. We played games rode on the snowmobiles and slide on the snow with sleds. We go up to this cabin every year 2 times a year. This year we got to drive the mini snowmobile, and pull people on the sled, It was so fun! After when we got home we were all pooped out!


    For Christmas this year I got a camera. This camera is a Nikon, and it is white, all touch screen, and it is super tiny. I love this gift because my old camera was just a camera that my mom had. It was old and was not cool, but this camera is the latest thing ever. I was so surprised when I got it, I don’t think anything could top that present!

  57. The best gift I got for Christmas was my I phone5. My dad got it for me. It is special because my dad thinks I can handle a phone now. My phone has a blue and green case. It has games on it like, doodle god. I spent most time on my brake with my mom. I spent most of my time with her because she is in Wisconsin. She has a job there and will be living there for a year. I got to see the place she lives not far from my cousins. My cat sela is living with her in the apartment

  58. Something I did over break was hanged out with family and friends. I went over to my friend Amanda’s and went to her birthday party and hung out that night after. That night my mom came and got me and we went to Ashley’s house and hung out, while are moms and dads watched UFC. Then the next night I went to Laurens house hung out with are two families. Then on Monday night witch was New Year’s Eve I went over to bells house and had a huge slumber party and had lots of girls over. That week we were off I was really busy and had lots of things to do!
    Something I got for Christmas was an iPod. My family had just gotten done opening all of our presents and my dad asked” are you sure there isn’t one more under there?” so I looked around and found one. Then I said” there’s no name on it!” my mom said “just open it.” So I did and there was an iPod in it!!! I was so happy with all the stuff I got and love my family for all my things.

  59. This year on Friday I was at the community center and I wanted to stay there for dj night and it cost $3 to get in there. So we went in there and we stayed for like 40 minutes and we like play jumped this dude named Jordan Snelling. He started to cry but it was supposed to be a play jump and then the people that worked there saw him crying and ask him what happen and he told them that we jumped him. So the people came and got Tobby first and talk to him and they ask him who’s the other dude that jumped this kid and he said it’s Ako. So they took us in the back of the counter and ask us to call my mom so we did and we gave him information he talked to my mom and told her to come and get me. So she did and it turns out that I wasn’t the one getting in trouble Tobby was the one so I could of stayed but my mom was on her way so I could stay. On the Christmas day I was just so happy to get my box because my step mom was send me presents. So I’m just waiting the Christmas day was kind of boring and we all made a gingerbread hose it was kind of fun trying to make it and it turned out pretty good. The next day I was just looking outside the door and I still didn’t see it so I was mad that it didn’t come yet. So I went outside for like a hour came back it still wasn’t there. Then went to go change into different clothes and next thing you know it’s out there I hurried up brought it in grab a knife and it was dre beats and new shoes and $50 that was kind of the happiest day of my life.

  60. One thing I wish was invented in the year of 2013 is the I pad ten and it would be like the clap on clap off light switch and it would turn off all you’re light at a push of a button to save money. It would also automatically turn off you’re lights when you leave the room. It would also create anything you type in for example if you typed in “I want a cheese burger “it would count down from 3 and poof there is. Or you could type in “I’m lonely” and poof a person would appear. Wouldn’t you want this, because I know I would. I would like this to be invented because it does all your needs and saves money. I’m sure this will be invented in like three hundred years.
    This will be the best year ever because I’m going to California. I know this doesn’t sound like that big of a deal but it is for me because I went to California when I was five and I’ve been begging my mom ever sense. Last time I went there I had the time of my life. We sat in hot tubs we slept in a tent and we got to bring it home! I am going there for 4 days and we might go to Disney land. I can’t wait for the warm weather. My mom, my sisters, my little brother and I are going on a plane for three hours witch is funny because my sisters hate flying.

  61. Over break, I went to my friend’s house. It was a lot of fun. I haven’t been to her house in a long time but I have seen her at school a couple of times. She opened her Christmas present before Christmas and her mom didn’t notice because she was sleeping. She said that she was really scared to open her present because she didn’t know how her mom was going to react but I recorded her opening it and we showed it to her mom but she didn’t care, she just laughed. After that, we played with her two year old sister for a little bit and then I left. And that’s what I did over break.

    This year I hope:
    -I can get a phone this month
    -I can earn and save money
    -I get better grades than last year
    -I do better in sports and physical things
    -I can travel somewhere I’ve never been before
    -I can go on a road trip to Chicago again
    -My aunt can come to Minnesota for the summer because I haven’t seen her for two years
    -I stop being addicted to staying on my iPod all day
    -I can spend more time with my little brother
    -I can spend more time with my family

    Over Christmas break my uncle was working as a garbage man and he was on the bake of the truck and the driver slammed on his breaks and he flew of the back and slammed into a big tree. So he went to the hospital the doctors said that they don’t know if he’s going to make it. So they were going to do what they could. When he came out of his first surgery they said he will make it but yhere will be more surgeries and long recovery time. And for right now he is in the hospital. And his next surgery is Thursday.

    I spent time with my family doing some fun activities like we ate and cooked dinner together and played games. We had all of our aunts and uncle and cousins come over and open presents. We ate for a really long time and my favorite was the pie and dessert. One of the games we played was sequence. My little cousin would always win and she’s only six. All the girls went shopping together and that was really fun. I slept over my friend’s house and we made hair bows. I had a fun time over break with my family and friends.

  64. Describe a person that you hang out a lot over break.
    A person that I hang out a lot over break was my sister and she is 19 years old and she is a smart, loved person that has a lot of sisters and brothers and she is also fun to hang out with but she also smokes but is still fun and I been trying to make people stop smoking because it’s not good for you. She has a job and goes to college and she works full time and has a full time boyfriend and he likes to come over a lot and play video games and my sister likes to play video games and she is pretty good at it too. She is just a kind a person that’s wants to set back and relax after a long day.
    My sister and I were at her job and we had to walk five blocks down the street and it was cold and freezing to death and when we got home we played video games and so me and her started to play and after 20 minutes we ate raw shrimp with melted butter and it was good so we started to eat that until her boyfriend was here and it took him forever to get there so me and my sister played Uno a card game she beat me twice and I didn’t win once until her boyfriend was there and we all started to play and that game took forever again and then I won. We started to play video games again and we were doing so well. The next day I had to go home and I took black ops 2 with me.

  65. A couple of days before charismas I felt bad that my family members got me presents that I decided to get present too. So I asked my mom if she could take to Wal-Mart so I could by them present. When we went to the store we stayed there for like an hour thinking of ideas because they didn’t have what I was going to buy them. When I finally finished I go my mom a scarf got my uncle that lives with me a piggy bank that looks like Mr. Potato head my step dad a coin counter that talks and I got my real dad s pocket watch that says (The Greatest Dad). When I gave my presents to my family members I felt good inside do ill probably do it next year.
    This winter break I went tubing at buck hill it was fun because all my cousins got to come with me. My favorite part of buck is that there a conveyor belt that connects to your tube to bring you up to the hill but I would have to say the fun is on the way down. The thing I liked about bringing my cousins was that we always race down and I always win. I love the hot chocolate because it’s always good when your face is in the snow.

  66. This year I got a pair of Beats by: Dr. Dre. They are lime green. They are 199.99 dollars they are the least expensive Beats . I got them from Santa on Christmas day. They have amazing sound you can hear every- thing. They are one of the best headphones that I have ever heard or seen. I was so amazed and exited to use them. They were the one thing I wanted for Christmas. Almost every day I want to Best Buy. I also got a new iPod case that matches the headphones.



    This year I hope….

    • For some more snow to make some big snowboarding jumps and forts.
    • Win state tourney in basketball
    • Going to Buck hill at least once.

    During winter break me, my family, and my cousins went tubing. It was great but my little brother kept slipping while we were going up. And it wasn’t that safe either because you had to walk up an icy hill, at the top it was very slippery, and there weren’t any lanes, and there wasn’t a railing or steps at the part you had to climb at so you could slip and go all the way to the bottom in one false move. But it wasn’t that bad it was fun on the way down it was kind of like Buck Hill. I liked when we all went together because it went really fast and it was really fun.

    This year I hope that I will become a better person. This year I hope that I am kinder to my siblings. This year I hope that I make my mom happy instead of mad. This year I hope that I get good grades. This year I hope that I use my I pod less and study more. This year I hope I get my work done on time and turned in on time. This year I hope that I make more friends. This year I hope to be more creative. This year I hope that I learn how to cook my favorite types of food. This year I hope to improve my personality.

  68. We drove to Illinois to my grandparents’ house. We were there for the whole brake. I was riding the four wheelers, trapping, and skinning beavers. We got some snow there. We pulled out an old giant sati light dish. We hooked it up to the four wheelers and drove it around my grandpa’s land. We hit a tractor and it bent the side of the dish.

    I got a new phone but it does not have games or my old contact list. Because it got shorted out by water. So it does not have my music on it ether. I have put new music on it I like heavy metal so I put dethklok. On my phone I can text call it is also a slide phone.

  69. Over break I wondered about the things they will make 2013. Maybe another star wars movie, Jurassic park IV, Xbox 720 maybe another version of the DS. Lets talk movies, could they make more star wars movies maybe even Indiana Jones 5, maybe even some more video game movies like Mario, legend of Zelda, Call Of Duty black ops, another James Bond film, maybe a Pac-Man movie. Video games, maybe some more Nintendo systems, an Xbox 720 or a PlayStation 4. Phones, tablets, computers, maybe Apple will make a giant Ipad, maybe a new windows computer, iphone 6 or an iphone 5s. Books, some new books about stuff like music, presidents, animals, poetry or movies, even video games.


    We went to Texas to celebrate New Years, and it was really fun. We went to Golden Corral a lot and the food there was delicious, that chocolate fountain was the reason I liked it. We also went to the mall a lot and I managed to buy some new shoes, a phone and a drum set. Our grandmas house was really fun because of the huge party that we had on New Years eve. My cousin Alan brought over his Xbox 360 and we played it all night long. We had a huge dinner at our uncle’s house and he showed me his big Beatles collection. That was the only place that actually went to over break, that was my highlight of 2012.

  72. Over winter beak my family went to my Dads family’s Christmas party and that was when the Vikings played the Packers. Oh yeah did I forget to mention my Dads sister lived in Wisconsin? She was a Vikings fan but her husband wasn’t. She has 4 kids which are all Vikings fans except the youngest one who is a Packers fan just so her dad wasn’t the only one cheering for the packers. He came up with this game that had to do with nuts. Not just any other old regular nuts, but spicy nuts. And when I say spicy, man do I mean spicy. One was called “100% PAIN”, and the other was “THE BOMB”. “100% PAIN” were habanero peppers which you think would be spicy. “THE BOMB” on the other hand, oh boy. That was the ghost pepper. The hottest pepper known to man on EARTH! The game was for each field goal scored, the other teams fans had to eat 3 “100% PAIN” peanuts. When a touchdown was scored the other team had to eat 3 “THE BOMB” peanuts. It started off that the Vikings were doing pretty good and my Dads sister’s husband had to eat a whole lot of peanuts. Then the Packers started scoring. All of the Vikings fans (almost everyone there) had just as many. It came down close at the end. There was 2 seconds left and Blair Walsh kicked a field goal leading the Vikings to Victory. In the end we all had stomach aches but it was a pretty good Christmas.



    This year I hope…
    • My sister’s husband stays healthy and keeps fighting his lung cancer strong.
    • I don’t get hurt even more than I already am.
    • I stay as healthy as can be and don’t have to visit the E.R. again.
    • I get good grades in school.
    • I turn in all of my late work and get all my work done on time.
    • To make a lot more friends.
    • Make the best team for sports.
    • I grow and gain weight.
    • I make it safely to Florida for spring break
    • I pass 6th grade

    When I got my fist deer I was hunting with my dad’s friend kile. We woke up at 5:30 and we hoped on to his four wheeler and drove into the woods. By the time we got out to the stand it was 6:00 and when we wear walking through the cold sticky mud I started to sink so I pulled hard to get out and I did. Later once we got to the stand we climbed up it and we waited my stomach started to glowed and I got tired.as the sun started to rise and you could start to see things more clearly. I saw a sudden movement in the brush and I looked and I could see the rack. So than I woke up kile and he said we should wait till it comes closer. We waited 30 minutes and the deer got close enough to shoot. He looked threw the scope but could not see anything so he turned the gun sidewise and shot but it wasn’t a good and it ran away. So we waited 30 minutes and then went to go look for it. It traveled over one mile and ten we saw it the 8 point buck. I showed all my family my buck the end.

  75. Broken Arm

    I was playing in my backyard with my friends and my mom walked outside and said we were supposed to be cleaning up the back yard. Then she walked back inside the house to go talk to a daycare parent. So I ran to go pick up and was looking the other way and turned around and I had to jump over my fire pit and tripped on my shoe lace, fell over the fire pit and my arm twisted around and popped out it hurt REALLY BAD! Then I ran inside and my mom called an ambulance to come pick me up from my house and bring me to the hospital.
    When they pushed me out on the stretcher almost everyone on both the blocks next to me were at my house or in my yard. When we got in the ambulance they asked me if I want my mom in the ambulance too and I said no. they waited to get to the hospital to put my I v in but they made me straighten my arm out in the ambulance and it really hurt. When I was out of surgery I found out that I had nerve damage in my nerves in my arm so it couldn’t even move for three weeks.
