So Much to Say!

Hello everybody...I don't know where to start!
Well my last post was about me hoping for a white Christmas. We got one downpour of snow on Christmas, at church, but that was pretty much it. We had a great Christmas day! My mom has a tradition to make a chocolate ice cream cake for Christmas, and for as long as I can remember she has made one for Christmas day. Usually we have the cake in the afternoon which is what we did this year. Also I think it was either last year or the year before that that my mom has made a cheese cake also along with the chocolate cake. (By the way she loves cheesecake. : )
As soon as we had finally caught our breath, New Years appeared out of nowhere! Our friends, the Templeton's, from North Carolina, joined us at my Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate the New Year.
There were a bunch of kids there...banging those pots as hard as they could, (some even broke some of the spoons that they were banging the pots with), so we must have been pretty loud! They even had those party poppers that you pull, and they BANG!
We had one week to settle down before...back to school again! Whew! What a schedule!
But it was a great time to celebrate with both friends and family, to bring on the New Year!
