  2. The main thing I did was go outside and play sports, but I did play my share of video games. Don't think I just played because I didn't, I helped arund the house too. I had the best Christmas ever, because I got a phone. My new years was the greatest because my friends were going to one of their houses and it turns out I couldn't come because they had a siter so I had to be with my family :( . I just made up a resalution, I will get better grades and study harder.

  3. Over New Year's Eve my family went camping. We went to Brasstown Bald. The highest point in Goergia! Brasstown is over 4,800 feet. We walked up to the tower and went to the highest point. The first day we went there, there was lots of clouds hiding the tower but the next day there was clear skies. You could see all around the Blue Ridge Mountains. We also walked part of the Appalation Trail. We had lots of fun and hope to do it again next year and make it a tradition.

  4. 2012! Over the past few weeks I went to the mall, the movies, and just stayed home and relaxed. At the mall I bought a lot of things! At the movies I saw Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked! It was AWESOME movie! By relaxed I mean laying down on the couch and watching some TV. I also, signed up for soccer classes at a chruch. Now I am BEYOND excited! For New Years, the best part of all, I went to a resturant called Sinbad with my parents' friends and my friends. We danced,we ate, and we all celebrated! When 2012 came I was standing on a chair blowing into some horn thing. (I got a little out of control!) that was my winter break, FUN and AWESOME!!!

  5. My New Year party went great! On the 31st of December, we had a party in Creekside neighborhood. Then we partying, when the fire alarm went off, and it was annoying. The firefighters came thinking there was a fire, the quickly realized there was no fire so they left. Another truck came, but this time came inside. They made the beeping sound stop, and we all cheered for them. After that, we realized that it was 11:50! We quickly put the apple cider and said happy New Years at 12:00.
    2 days after the party,Tuesday, I saw that there is a get-together at my friend's house on Saturday. The email said that the kid had to reasearch a famous Indian, and talk about him/her for about 2 minutes. I have to reasearch about a saint that lived in India named Swami Vivekananda. I'm right now at fact number 10.
    These are the things that I did for New Years welcoming 2012 to the world!

  9. In New York was a blast because I went to many differnt places. The first thing I did was going to the a long island museum and it was a lot of fun. My cousin once had one dog and now they had two because they saw a stray dog in the neiborhood and took the dog and named it panda which was a werid name. The next thing we did was going to bowling alley and I got many strikes and A DSI FOR REAL. I already have a dsi so I gave it to my sister name Emily And was very very surprise. On the new years day we went bowling again and celerbrate the new years. The day before I go back to GA, I got lot of $$ and the the total was 300$.I had a great time in new york and now I went back and had a great time.

  17. I stay at home for the holidays and my new year was great too! I got a iPod touch 4th generation, Jewlery, jewlery box, a water bottle, and much much more. My New Year was spent with a great friend of mine. For New Years I wacht the show that the peach drops but at 12 we all celebrated the New Years and we had a desert! The next day we had a big breakfeast and then a big dinner. for desert we had Peach Cobbler. Also my Christmas was amazing because i got many many gifts and then I got to spend Christmas with my mom, dad, and sadly my brother. My dad couldn't bend twist or anything like that because he just got back surgery. The reason why he got surgery was because One of his nerves in his lower left back was messed up and his foot was tingling nonstop and the surgery said it would help but I dont think it did. After my dad surgery we went to California pizza Kichten(CPK). I had a BLT pizza and a sour green drink but i cant think of the real name. Then we left CPK and went home to watched a movie and then we had a big dinner an hour or two after athe movie.After all we had sooooo much fun!!

  18. Over the New Year my family and I went to North Carolina. On the first night we went we left late, so we slept in a hotel. The next morning we drove for 5 hours to get to our time share. When we got there it was Thursday. (3 days away from the New Year) The next day we went skiing. It took up basically the whole day. On Saturday we stayed home. We played board games and watched TV all day. On New Years we went to the pool and played mini golf. We had to go in because it started to snow. We made snow angles and went sledding. We stayed up in till 12:30 am. Every body slept in till 9:00. After that we looked out side and every thing was white and it still snowing. We went skiing again and we all were freezing to death. On the last day we were there we went shopping and got ice cram my dad thought we were crazy because it was only 5 degrees. Than we drove home no stopping.
