Business!

   Saint Nick's Day has come and gone and I haven't posted in a while! Well......I have plenty of things going on. This Saturday was the craziest though! I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to babysit for a couple going to the temple and played with their girls until about 12 in the after noon. After getting home I helped clean the house with everyone else till being picked up to babysit again at 1:30. We also had the Ward Christmas Party at 5:30 that night. I helped out allot with the human nativity and clean up before going to my friend Olivia's house to try on some clothes. She surprised me with an early Christmas present of scented body lotions and candles! I love them and use them regularly.
   
    The next day I woke again at 5:30 to get ready for choir practice at 7:45. We planned to sing in Sacrament Meeting that day and got there to find that it had been canceled due to tired throats from the party the night before and not enough people showing up to practice. After church, I went to my cousins' house across the high way to help them knock doors. Kyle(13), and Page (11) were in the musical of The Night Before Christmas and were needing to sell tickets. I got home and had a wonderful lesson from our home teachers before going to bed. 

    I woke the next morning with a bad cold and cough.After taking some medicine I was able to walk to my Spanish class with Ty in tow. Nothing really happened after that. Tomorrow I have another choir practice during mutual and Thursday I'm babysitting for my Spanish teacher. Her two little boys are adorable and love dancing, playing tag, and making forts out of their bunk bed. Saturday is another early morning as I have a Temple Trip at 6 a.m. to do baptisms for the dead! So exciting! Sunday we will be singing in Sacrament and we will sound awesome!
 
    The 24th is Christmas Eve and my cousin and friend Kaylee's 14th birthday is soon after! Yay! Christmas is obviously the next day and my Nana and Papa Peterson will be arriving the day after. So excited! According to my Dad we will be taking a tour of the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory while they're here......Yum! New Year's Eve is my Papa Robert's Birthday and then it's 2014! My 14th birthday is in Feb.and my friend Zander's is a couple day's later. My Uncle Hammy and Uncle Sam's birthday's are right after that in Feb. and March.

   In June I'll be visiting my home town Fallbrooke, CA for as long as I can. I can't wait to go to the beach and smell the salty air and feel the ocean spray against my face. I hope to spend time with both pairs of Grandparent as well as friends Kaylee, Zander, Gunnar, Audrey, Trent, Mason, and plenty of others.Kaylee will be coming back to Texas with me to spend to rest of the summer swimming in the Texas humidity and heat.

    I hope to hear from you all soon! ~ Kaile Peterson
