I <333333333 My New Camera!!!!

As the title says, I LOVE my new camera that I got for Christmas yesterday!!!!!! It's a Canon PowerShot. Here are a few of the photos I took with it yesterday:

Have you ever wondered what I look like in the middle of a cart-wheel? Talk about a one-in-a-million shot!

This is my cousin and I running round our grandparents basement. Self timer is a beautiful thing!This is the same cousin and Aidan right after opening their gifts.

Same cousin. She was twirling around the support pole in our grandparent's basement and I snapped it at just the right moment.

Me twirling around the same pole, except, I took this picture of myself. If you haven't noticed already, this is also my profile picture. This is my favorite out of all the photos that I took.

So, that's my camera...I'm waiting for a better memory card...one that holds more than 7 photos...(my memory card literally holds only 7 photos at a time!) Here are some of the other things that I got:

From Mom and Dad:

• A clip-art computer program
• Some wooden letters (my initials) and some paint to decorate them with. (this was really picked out and 'from' Aidan but I opened it with the rest of my gifts from my parents)
• A really cute heart, cubic zirconium, pendant
• A Tri-ominoes game (for those who don't know, it's a dominoes game but it has 3 sides on each piece instead of 2)
• The Divine Dance. Let me just say that this book is amazing. Period. I've only read one chapter but, by the end of the first page, I was in tears. It wasn't because the book was written because somebody who spent their life looking at studies and finding out what trends there were in teenage girls. It's because a 20 year old girl, who, might I add, had no experience writing books, felt like God was telling her something profound, so she wrote it down. God is totally working in and through this book. Isn't it funny how He knows exactly what we need and how we should get it? I totally recommend this book to any girl, but especially those who are ages 14-early 20's+. I give this book *****+ (If that's possible!) READ IT!

From my Uncle and cousins:

• Complete works of William Shakespeare. He figured that since I like acting...
• 3 books of monologues (YES!!!!!)
• A $50 American Girl gift certificate

From my grandparents:

• My camera, as I said above
• Some money (Thank You Grandma and Papa!)

Well, that the gifts I got, but it can't begin to describe the fun that I had. Praying that you all had as enjoyable a Christmas as I did! Please pray that I remain grateful to Jesus for all the blessings that I've been given this year! (it's soooooo hard to remember the real reason we celebrated the day after Christmas!!) That all for now. Bye
