Christmas Day in Baltimore

By Alex

Christmas  Day in Baltimore was  so fun! Aunt Karla stayed over for the night.  I was so excited when we opened presents! I was very very happy when  I saw what my presents were! Some of my favorites were the stuffed skunk, a stuffed goose, a few other stuffed animals, a snowy owl kite, and our new bikes. Many many other people came over for Christmas Day. I thanked a lot of people for my presents. After supper we played a lot with our cousins, Lucy and Eric. There was pie for dessert! Now I am going to stop because I want to play my new game, Ten Days in Africa.

We had a very fun day today! First we went on a hike .Then we went to the Little French Market  for pastry! Then we went to buy a Christmas tree! Then we went back home again . Me and my brother played a bit . I had a lunch of Pink Lady Apples ,Cheese ,Popovers ,and some leftover pastry. The hill was steep ,but the thought of pastry kept me going.  I was so pleased that I got to take the pictures . I really liked taking pictures of all different kinds of things .
