Happy New Years eve eve! : )

Dear Blog,




                This is Nkiyasi again.  Our family is different we don't celebrate Kwanza Hanuka nor Christmas we just sorta have this tradition were we just hide presents around the house and find them its not that we don't believe in other holidays its just that we like doing different things together we had so much fun! My sister and I got A lot of dolls.  Some people think it is weird that I still play with dolls at 11 but I want to have as much fun as possible playing with them before I loose interest in them.  I was watching the Cosby Show for hours today I was watching the episode A Touch Of Wonder . It was hilarious, it was the one where Denise and Theo got into car wreck with Stevie Wonder at the end Claire got to sing with him. What I love about the Cosby Show is what a great family they are, I mean like I really love how they love their children so much, They remind me a lot of my family!  I would love to meet Stevie Wonder, my favorite song by him is I Just Called To Say I love You. Well that's enough good news for today.  Bye!

            Today I had a great day.  My sister and I started a project called, Sister Fashion.  Its a project where my sister and I have a blue notebook that we label by what we are going to draw for that week.   For example one of the labels are, Fashion by Seasons, meaning different fashions for fall,winter,spring and summer.  Yesterday was my moms birthday we had a awesome time.  She turned 38 years old.  My Father and I baked a triple chocolate chunk cake with Hershey chocolate cocoa cream filling and frosting not to mention that we decorated it with chocolate candy, (my mom loves chocolate).  All I have been doing this is week is watching the "Cosby show" I love that show very much and I have watched every episode, even the bloopers!  I would really like to meet Bill Cosby one day! 

This year for Christmas I am getting a tablet PC and Just Dance 4. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Dear Blog ,

                                                 Today i had a wonderful day.  My sister and i have this thing called, Sisters Day its when her and i play outside and watch movies and play dolls and draw pictures we just do things together.  I really do love hanging out with her although sometimes we do fight i really do love her. I know she looks up to me and i like that.  Today in Lansing it was the first day of more than 1 inch of snow, my sister and i went outside and threw snow at each other and made snowmen. When we came in we had tea and muffins, and tonight we are going to watch movies and eat popcorn together my parents really do appreciate us hanging out together because sometimes we can be annoying when we fight. But i love each and everyone in my family!

This is Nkiyasi again, guess what, i had an amazing dream last night i had a dream i was on the Ellen DeGeneres Show we were talking about how i became an author, while we were talking i told her how much i love John Legend's music. Right at that moment she told me to get on the stage and sing. I sang Ordinary People, and got a standing ovation!  Then John Legend came out from behind the curtains and sang with me i screamed my lungs out!  That was probably the best dream I've had!
