I also like having a break from school. Sometimes school gets very stressful and I like a break to collect my thoughts. My family and I didn’t go anywhere over the break. My sister went up to her husband house for Thanksgiving so it was only my mom, dad, and I for Thanksgiving. In the first time ever we went out for dinner for Thanksgiving. I love spending time with my family all the time and it was a nice day. During the break I was able to hang out with some of my friends that I usually can’t hang out with because we are usually very busy during the school week.

The holiday cards were a lot of fun to make. The first design that I made was kind of simple. When I heard that we were making these cards for this class that design came to my mind first. Then the other card I made was a little harder to make because the hair on the dog took a lot of time to get right. The second card is a drawing of a husky with a santa hat on. I always like to have a challenge and the second card was like that. It took me more time to make than the first time. The second card was my favorite card that I made. I liked how it turned out and I love huskies.

I am very glad that people are writing cards to our military. Sometimes forget that some families aren’t all together because they have a family member that is over seas. I just thank them for their service that they are doing for us over the holiday season. I have a family member that is part of the Navy and it sometimes hard on his family when he isn’t  home with his family. He has three younger kids that he is not with sometimes. They are the ones that protect us and we should give them thanks for their services.

The one thing that I’ve learned this week is that when you don’t stretch for a full week and don’t exercise my body starts to become very sore for a whole week. Since I’ve been dancing for 15 years and my body is used to be moving all the time when I take a week off my body hurts a lot. Since I have dance class everyday and I take dance on Wednesday and Thursday it make my body sore so much.
