Christmas with Burtts / New Years with Curtins

Mom, Dad and I are going to Aroostock county to see my grandparents and cousins for Christmas. My Mom just finished making truffles to bring. It is going to be the best Christmas ever because I don't see my relatives often.
Next week we are going to New York to see my grandmother and cousins for New Years. That's going to be fun, too. Yay!

Christmas Party in Freeport

My mom and I went to a Christmas party at the YMCA in Freeport. We swam for an hour in the warm pool. Afterwards, we had some pizza. Then Santa came for a visit and gave the kids presents. I had a good time. My favorite part was swimming.

Survival Class

Yesterday I took a survival class. It was about living in the wild. I built a fire with a match and kindling. I also found some fox and rabbit tracks in the snow. I ate some red berries and pine needles. You can also eat cattail tubers, but you have to dig them up from the ground which is very tricky.
The survival class was the most fun I ever had in the woods.

Favorite Holiday

What is your favorite holiday? Mine is Christmas. I love snow, the colorful lights and decorating the tree. I enjoy setting cookies, carrots and milk for Santa and the reindeer. Most of all, I like spending time with my friends and family.
