I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited for the family reunion! CANT WAIT!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

When the year is done, what do you say? after all, what went on this year? i think i will cronicle the past month, starting from dec 1st. Well, it was not a lazy saturday *sigh* but I did get some things done, me and josiah had 4H stuff...we did: stocking stuffers for family house, toy bags for riley hospital,and a officer meeting...and we went to BC osaka for josiahs b-day.

on the second, josiah turned 17, i helped on the Lords supper, ans not much went on that day...after evening worship, we opend both of our birthday presants, Josiah got a recorder sound systom thing, and i got a drawing set,(a 124 pcs set! :D) some guiter strings, draing pads, and a "how to draw dragons" book.


on the 3rd, i turned 12 (finaly:P), all of the birthday cards came heh, we had chili for dinner (some of Dads EPIC chili) went shopping, i boght some games and a sock monkey, (named Sam) and nothing else went on...
sorry, i wont put pics in, to much of a hassle (cant spell that)

Jumping to christmas! i got: a necklace, a Star trek TOS T-shirt, sea monkeys, (which have hached) jelly beans, the "phantom of the opera"on blu-ray, a few other blu-ray movies, a game, i wall-mount fret rest (guitar holder), the next 2 "Redwall"books(4-5)and a "Calvin and Hobbs" comic book. I got josiah a eagle necklace (since the other broke). i got mom a 24-oz cup that says "nurse" and i got dad a star trek command T-shirt. and that was christmas.

REVENGE OF THE DONUT LORDS
By Ben Teel




One day in donutland a bunch of donuts were eating cheese burgers when a jar of sprinkles landed (a jar of sprinkles was considered a UFO) and a green donut got out carrying a sprinkle gun. “TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER OUTLANDER” he said,” okay, go to the temple” a donut replied pointing south (witch was the wrong way).A day later a donut was in peppermint forest and he was hunting animal crackers when he decided to take a nap then he had a dream. It told him to go to the temple and he did along the way a donut told him to make haste and he did. When he got to the temple he told the mighty donuts that the green donut fleet was coming and the grate donuts smashed the fleet







THE END
