My Easter

I had a fun Easter. First, I went to Church to give Jesus love for his resurrection. Next, when Church was done, I went home to take pictures. The pictures were good but it was sunny. After pictures we hunted for Easter eggs. I hunted the most. It was fun, and I got lots of candy and 50 cents. Last my aunts and uncles came over. It was a nice time. We had dinner together and played games. Easter is one of my favorite holidays.

My Life as a Christian

There are many things that I like about being a Christian. My favorite church is St. John The Apostle Catholic Church. I like that church because of my priest and the parish. My baptism was on November 23, 2003. When I was baptized I became a child of God. My First Communion was on May 8, 2010. When I took my first communion I received Jesus in my heart. My Patron Saint is St. Therese. I like her because she teaches me to be happy. My favorite way to pray is to pray a whole Rosary. I just started to like praying it. Being a Chistian is terrific.

What I disliked in 2010

My 2010 was good, but it was a little bad too. First, it snowed alot, and the power went out. Playing in the snow was fun but not with the heater out and no lights. Second, I didn't like moving, because it was sad going away. Third, I had a friend move to Canada. I miss her, because I like playing with her. Even though all these sad dislikes have happened, they are over now.

What I liked in 2010

In 2010 I did fun things. First, I liked living at Aunt Judy's because I like Aunt Judy. I also had a girl next door I liked playing with. Second, I started art class in 2010. I liked learning new art skills like painting and sculpting. Third, I liked my birthday. I had an art palette cake and I liked opening my presents. I liked most of what I did in 2010.

My Christmas

Christmas is a time of giving. Every Christmas I make gifts for other people. This year I made square keychains and one round keychain. It took me a long time to finish the keychains, but they were pretty. The colors of the keychains were purple and sparky white. I also made crosses out of pipe cleaners and beads. They were pretty. All of the people liked them.

Tell me about a time you ate an orange?

One morning I was eating an orange at the kitchen table with my breakfast. I saw that it was big so I thought it looked juicy. It tasted sweet and not sour. My tongue felt the cold and juicy orange. I liked the orange because it was tasty. I can't wait to eat an orange again.

Horses!

I like horses. Horses eat oats, apples, and carrots. I like it when they run. Horses have pretty colors. Baby horses are called ponies. A pinto horse is a horse that looks like a cow. I call the pinto horses "cow horses". I want to ride a horse.

What is Advent?

Advent is the time when we prepare for Jesus to be born. We light candles on a wreath. The candles are pink and purple. First we light two purple candles. Then we light one pink candle. The last candle is a purple candle. We also do a Jesse Tree. A Jesse Tree is the Old Testament stories that tell us how Jesus was coming. Advent reminds us that Jesus will come again.

What is the Immaculate Conception?

The Immaculate Conceptions is when Mary was born without original sin. Mary is the new Eve and Jesus is the new Adam. Eve disobeyed God and Mary obeyed God. So Mary became the mother of Jesus, and then she became the mother of all of us because Jesus is our brother. Mary loved God very much. We should be like Mary and love God too.

Why do you like Art?

I like art because of all the colors. At my art class I do lots of fun things like paint my self portrait, a landscape, and a color wheel. I like art class because it is fun. I can't wait for the art show. I am going to hang my self portrait. At the old house I had an art gallery in my room.

Who was St. Nicholas? How do you celebrate St. Nicholas Day every Dec. 6?

St. Nicholas was a boy who was the real Santa Claus. He saved people from slavery by selling a horse and giving away gold. He became a Bishop. He was in prison for a long time. He gave people stuff. On St.Nicholas day we open stockings. We also color a picture of St. Nicholas.

What is your favorite animal? Why?

My favorite animals are cats. I like cats because they're cute and pretty. My cats' names are Peter and Tom. Peter and Tom purr alot. Tom was funny today. He cried at the front door. Peter is my cat. He is lost.
