December, 2000

Well to start off the last month of the year on Christmas Eve Mark, Jenny, and I got to open up the presents from each other. I got a mechanical pencil from Mark and I got a Garfield book and some candy from Jenny. I gave Mark a book light and CD case for computer games and I gave Jenny a thing with two dogs and a duck on it. On Christmas morning we all got up but we had to wait till the sun came up so we could go downstairs and open up all of the presents. Finally we got to open them. All of us would take turns opening presents. My favorite present was my remote control truck that has working headlights and it is made for rough terrain. It can go faster than 500 feet per minute. I also got legos and lots of candy. Mark got a robot that he had to put together and then he can program it to do something with the buttons on the back of it. Jenny got a cotton candy maker that will make cotton candy in about two minutes. Later that day we went to our grandmas house to have Christmas with them and our Aunt and Uncle. I got a camera, a rechargeable battery for my remote control car, clothes, card games, and candy. After we did that we went to my aunt Joyce's house to spend Christmas with some other relatives. There I got candy and some gift cards and just regular money. My cousin Luke was carrying around a one hundred dollar bill that he got for Christmas. He also had a Game Boy with pokemon gold and silver. On new years eve our family got together again because we were going to have a dinner with the Spencers but they canceled it because the roads were slick and half of the people were sick. Everyone stayed till 11:00 but during the time before they left we did a lot of stuff. we had lots of snacks like shrimp, spicy chicken, chips, and cookies. We played Chill Out which was a card game that I got for Christmas from my grandma and we played UNO that is another type of card game. After everyone was done playing the card games all of the adults played Blurt! While they played that Mark played Chris a multi player game on the computers over the network then after they were done I played Chris that game that Mark just played him. Pretty soon everyone had to leave. We got to stay up till 12:00 (New Years!!). Right after that we had to go to bed. That was a bummer.
