Hey! Sorry we weren't able to chat much last night. That is soooo awesome that you got an Ipod!! It's so new and fancy!! Next time we see each other we can show how our new devices work to each other. I'm definitely getting the hang of having my flip phone. It may be annoying as heck, but it's something. Btw, are you going to be allowed to text on your Ipod? Because maybe if I can convince my parents to get me unlimited texts on my phone we could text each other.

Lemme tell you about the HOB Holiday party real quick! Okay so my dad dropped me off at American Legion (that's the name of the place where the party was) at 5:00 so that I could help ML set up. Miss Maggie was also there and she helped set up also. Katie got a little too excited when she was helping me decorate... One of the things she did was there was this fabric snowman decoration thing that was on a table and it had two halves, the top half with the head, arms, and chest, and the bottom half with it's butt and legs... Well, Katie ended up putting the bottom part on the snowman's head😂 We ended up finishing setting up at 5:30, which gave us 30 minutes to wait around until the party started.

Can you remind me to not melt next time I see Jonnie wearing my favorite color? He was wearing this cobalt blue t-shirt and he looked adorable. He also looked like he might've been a little sick or something. Parts of his face were a little red.

Since everyone in my family was still sick, I was the only one in my family at the party. I sat near the Lombardos so I wasn't totally alone while I was eating.

Okay so here's who was there: Benny, Timmy, Jaina's family, Anthony's family, the Smiths, the Lombardos, Billie and his mom, and the Jones. I feel like there were definitely less people than at the Potluck.

There was an ugly sweater contest! There was an adult group and a kids group. I probably would have done an ugly sweater myself if I had known that the kids were also having a contest. I thought it was just the adults. Somehow or other, Billie ended up winning the kid's group contest. I was really surprised that Alyssa didn't win the kid's group contest because her sweater was a sweater with glued on jingle bells on it (it was ugly and loud!). I can't seem to remember who won the adult's group though.

While everyone was eating, Jonnie randomly went into the closet with the microphone and he made all kinds of hilarious jokes and noises😂 The most memorable thing he did was he ate two pretzels with the microphone by his mouth so everyone could hear very clearly that he was eating😂 When he was done he said that was the best meal he ever had😂😂😂 If you don't get it, it was way more funny if you were actually there.

When the party died down and all the tables got put away, Jonnie,Anthony,Adam,Katie,Jaina, and I played Monkey in the Middle. It was kind of hard because there were so many people, but we made it work. I feel like I was definitely the one in the middle the most. But anyway, there was this one round when I was the monkey and I was going after the ball that we were using, but Jonnie was right behind me, so I decided to quickly fall to my knees and slide to the ball, but like I said Jonnie was right there so we ended up getting all tangled up together on the floor fighting over the ball. While we were fighting over the ball, I accidentally hit my head on the concrete floor which hurt really bad so Jonnie ended up getting the ball. That was pretty epic though😂 Btw I now have bruises on my knees from trying to get the ball. Once Adam and Jaina left, Jonnie,Anthony,Katie and I played Keep the Ball in the Air. Whoever wasn't able to catch the ball and let it fall on the floor would be out. It was hilarious when I would hit the ball too hard at the boys and they tried to hit it back but it was going too fast so it hit the floor😂 Jonnie and Anthony eventually started trying to kick the ball as far as they could through the building. Miraculously, they didn't end up breaking the ball. The ball we used was very light so it was perfect for doing all the games we played... except for kicking it. I'm honestly almost surprised they didn't make a hole in the ball.

Anyway, so how was your Christmas?
