Daily December / Winter Memories

HEY THERE!

 

Today for the Daily December is Christmas Memory. Honestly, I don't really have any Christmas memories so I thought I'd just do like winter memories. I typed in December today on our computer pictures and all these pictures rang up of us and family. So I thought why not tell some memories.

 

In January 2013   was when my grandpa died. My dad got to spend his last time seeing him at the hospital all night with him. He and my grandma lived far away so we didn't get to see him that much. Even though I didn't have a very close relationship with my grandpa I love to look at the pictures of him. One thing I remember about him is one day I was playing piano for him and I am the kid who is always criss-cross-applesauce (I don't know it you spell it that way). So, I was playing the piano criss-crossed and he said something like, "Why you sitting that way." I just laughed and put them on the right way. Sometimes when I'm not sitting like I should at piano I think of him and what he said. It makes me laugh and sit up the right way. hehe ;P But as I saw these pictures they made me happy. It had been a long time since all of my dad's siblings were all together. The picture made me happy. And seeing my grandpa in the hospital with all of my aunts and uncles and my dad and my grandma made me sad, but I know he is in a better place. I know all of his pain is gone forever. And that makes me so happy. My Dad tells a lot of funny stories about my Grandpa and it makes me laugh.

 

I also remember having snow a couple years ago. Snow happens two or three times around where we live. But we love it! I just love the days when I get up, look at the window, and scream, "IT SNOWED!" lol and the call saying my dad is off from work makes me jump in the air saying, "Let's go sledging!" Snow is awesome guys. Really. I saw this picture of four snowmen. All  of them were different sizes and had some kind of cool accessory on them like a santa hat or a ball cap. And my dog was in it. He was fat then. He's soo much skinnier now. hehe. Anyway I love snow! And I'm going be looking in the window for some more every single morning.

hehe just some Christmas photography from last year. Thanks for reading! :)

What are some of your Christmas memories?
Do you always look in the window for snow in the morning?

When I went to the concert!

Hello Everyone!  So might of you might have heard that I went to a concert last Sunday! I couldn't believe I heard SIU Arena on the radio. The tour was called The Roadshow! Jamie Grace, Group 1 Crew, Matt Maher, MercyMe, Tedashi, and David Crowder were there. It was AMAZING! The lights were amazing! It amazed about how much the place was lit up and decorated! My favorite performances were of course Jamie Grace, Matt Maher, and Tedashii! Here are my pictures!

                         Right here is Jamie Grace performing White Boots (one of my favorites)

 One reason I loved Matt Maher was just getting to hear thousands of people sing along and say  Lord I need you, every hour I need you. It was awesome!

                                      This piano was so worn down though he played it fine

    While we were watching Tedashi suddenly I looked over you the lights rising up over my head.

 

    In one of his songs Britt Nicole features him though she wasn't there so Jamie Grace did that part! Also in one of his songs Group 1 Crew and some random kids jumped up the stage and starting dancing.

                                                          WE MET JAMIE GRACE!

                                               This is the poster we got and she signed it!

       This is the shirt I got. It says DO LIFE BIG! She signed that too!

These are some of the songs I really liked when they preformed them!

He sounds way better live.

Gotta post this.

He sounds way better live too.

 

Peace and Love,

SNOW, SLEDGING, AND PHOTOGRAPHY!!

Brrrrrrr........ It's so cold out. Comment if you got snow! I did! Yay! As some of you might know I was dreading the January weather we were having. Everybody was talking about sledging and really cold air when it was about 40 or 50 out. IN JANUARY! Though don't feel sad for me yet cause last Sunday night is snowed! IT SNOWED! THANK YOU JESUS! 7 to 8 inches. Though here's the bad part. It might rain this Saturday. School's have been out for the whole week! It's been freezing! I've been sledging like crazy. This is what I wanted! This is what I was waiting for the whoooooooollllleeeee summer. THIS IS IT! THANK YOU!

We went sledging. It be creative we also used sticks for skiing and went snowboarding too. Our hill is almost two hills it's long and kinda bumpy too. IT WAS SO FUN! Today, we made a ramp with a log and some board. I have a picture of me jumping off it! It was epic! So, here's some photos! Some pictures were the same as last time except last time it had no snow. So it's like a before after thing! AWEOSME! Anyway, hope you enjoy!

 

I took more but sadly they won't download. So, that's it! If I can download the others I will post! Hope you had a great week like I did!

 

Peace and Love,

It was stressful sometimes but I was with my family! I was with my favorite people!
