My Christmas break was really fun. I did a lot of cool and fun things too. Well this is my Christmas break...
On the first day, which was a Friday, I was still finishing wrapping presents for Christmas. Then on Saturday, we had a basketball tournament in Central City. We won two games and lost one. When I got home it was like 6:00, so I just relaxed and watched TV. On Sunday my family and I just got ready for Christmas, really nothing else. Monday was kind of a boring day too, there was nothing exciting.
On Monday morning, when my sister woke up she went out to the living room and sat down. Then I woke up. I went out to the living room. I noticed something on top of the tree. I looked closely and there was an Elf On The Shelf on top of our Christmas tree. It was a girl, and we named it Ella. Tuesday morning when we woke up Ella wasn't on top of our tree anymore. So we went looking. I went in the bathroom and Ella was hanging from the bathroom ceiling! Well, that's our elf Ella!
Finally Tuesday came! I couldn't wait. I started getting ready for church around 2:30. We went to church. Church seemed like it took forever! Then we finally made it to the restaurant (that's where we have Christmas for my mom's side). My mom's side was there and so were all the presents! So my cousins and I sorted down all the presents by name. While we were waiting to eat supper my cousins and I played a present game, and all my uncles and brothers played cards. My present was a little paint kit. After that, it was time for supper. We had tenderloins, fries, fruit, and for desert we had cookies and a Hershey's pie that my aunt brought. When the kids were done eating, we had to wait for the adults to get done eating, so we just played some games. Finally, the adults were done eating. So then we watched the 2013 family slide show. My Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff do a slide show every year. They are really good too. Then the slide show was over. It was present time then! So I brought all my presents over to where I was sitting. We have to go in order by age. So my cousin Keanan was first, then my sister Emilee, then my turn, then my sister Adrianne, then lastly my cousin Austin. From my Aunt Cheryl, I got a pair of Nike slip ons and the second Pretty Little Liars book. My Aunt Amy got me the first and second season of Pretty Little Liars. My Aunt Michelle got me a black and white Nike sweatshirt. My Aunt Angie got me a turquoise American Eagle sweatshirt and a little Christmas ornament that is gold and says Erika and has a number 11 on it. That was all I got from my mom's side. Then all the adults opened their gifts. Finally, it was time to go home and set out cookies and milk for Santa. Then I went to bed.
Christmas morning I woke up at about 7:30. Emilee was already up. So we went to get my mom up. My mom got up. Then we went downstairs. I looked at all my stuff. I got a Kindle Fire, pink and brown cowgirl boots, a pink camera, socks, iTunes card, yoga pants, and Iowa Hawkeye flannel pants. My sister Adrianne and I got some Nike sweatshirts to share. So after that I got on my kindle and started downloading games.
Later that day at 10:30 we had our family Christmas. My brother Aaron, and his girlfriend Jessica came out. From them I got an Iowa Hawkeye lawn chair and a gift certificate to a Rough Rider's game. Then everyone else opened their gifts. After that Aaron and Jessica had to leave to go to Jessica's Christmas.
Then after they left it was like 12:00. So my mom started making lunch. Then it was lunch time so we all sat down at the kitchen table and ate wings and fries. After lunch, my sister and I went sledding and played in the snow for about an hour.
Later that night at 5:00 my other brother Marcus, and his girlfriend Marissa came to our house. We opened our gifts and I got Just Dance 4 and Just Dance 2014 from them. Then my mom brought out the gift she got for my sisters and I. She got us an Iowa Hawkeye tie blanket.
Then at 6:00 we had to go to my great-grandma's Christmas. That is a huge family of about 75 people. We ate supper. Then we did a gift exchange, and I got an iTunes card from my cousin. After that people just hung out and talked. Then it was all over and we went home.
Well, that was my Christmas. I had a lot of fun spending time with family and friends too.
