I just thought I'd say...


At this time I've just woken up, and it is Easter morning, and finally I can say the forbidden word! Alleluia! Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen! Let us Rejoice and be glad! I hope you all have a most blessed Easter. And let us never forget the true meaning of this most special day!
And yes, this post is scheduled, can't you tell? :P



God Bless

Just Saying...


Happy St. Pat's to you all! :D
I hope you are having a great day, and of course let's not forget about the fact there is St. Pat's day, for that amazing missionary and bishop, and snake-driver. :P
And of course, being Irish, or part Irish is awesome! :D Oh, and don't forget to wear green. :0

God Bless

CHRISTOS ANESTI!!!!

'Christ is risen. Alleluia'
'He is risen indeed, Alleluia.'

Today is the day that we rejoice in our Saviour's Resurrection!
Happy Easter, everyone! :D
Today we get to say Alleluia and today well, it has been a great day.
This is me, if you look closer you can see the babushka's
on my skirt. Aren't they great?! 
We all (meaning Dad, Mum, Kynan, Braedon, Autumn, Eden, Saxon, Vellvin, Rogan, Moran, Myffwyn, Corbyn, Arwen and Trahaearn) went to mass at the Seminary and all the hymns during mass had at least one mention of Alleluia, which was great. We all got given an Easter egg each by a family who goes to the Seminary except for me and Myffy because she gave Trahaearn her one so we shared.
This is all of us girls, as you can see I wan't looking at the camera straight as we  were sort of in a hurry.
We got a family photo outside of mass courtesy of one of the Seminarians, sang 'This is the Day' in pigeon English on the way home (actually we don't know the real version :P) and than a Donut Man song I think it was which was about one verse which we sang over and over again until we were singing it very fast indeed. It's great fun. :D
Taking photos when we got home of each of us, posing of course. Mummy made each of us girls (except Autumn) a new skirt and new shirts that matched besides Eden who had a nice blouse already
Looking in our Easter baskets and Easter bags.
Having a baked dinner
Playing Uno and Billionaire with my Grandfather and some of my siblings. Yeah, Dad's parents came for Easter. :)
Having my first ever motorbike ride courtesy of my brother Braedon who got a motorbike a few months ago and I finally was brave enough to try it. It was exhilarating even though I'm afraid of heights and stuff like that. :P
Helping prepare the baked dinner
This is me with my two beautiful older sisters. 
Riding on bikes
Sword fighting with Braedon pretending to be a Sith and me and Saxon, Jedi.
Reading Rangers Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan, I'm kind of re-reading it actually skipping a little bit here and there when I get bored of the chapter and such.
Eating Easter Eggs.
Having my eldest brother Kynan home for Easter as well as Autumn.

This is all of my family. I love you guys all so much. <3>
And that's it so far. And tonight when I got to sleep I think I will feel very happy and contented indeed when I feel glad and happy and I thank God for what I have been given.
God Bless

Anyone feeling hectic?

Is anyone else starting to feel hectic like, "Oh, my gosh! It's 11 days until Christmas and I haven't done this, this or this and I need to finish this!!" Anyone feeling like that at the moment? I am.
Always during Advent we are always rushing and trying to finish our Christmas presents for everyone before Christmas day oh, and lets not forget the St. Andrew novena. You know that one you need to do fifteen times a day and trust me, I am not kidding.
I haven't been posting much lately pretty much for those reasons. We've been doing a lot of Christmas cleaning and preparing for two guests who are staying for Christmas and one of them is Anna-Lisa :D We are celebrating St. Lucy tomorrow and Our Lady of Guadalupe today because the feast days were actually on the days we were cleaning. :P So yeah, we didn't get around to that until today.
We start doing our Christmas cookies very soon along with our Gingerbread house, shortcake and our fudge with Candy Cane on top yum!!!
Mum says she's never met anyone who celebrates Christmas like we do.
Run-down of our Christmas day each year:
Christmas eve go to bed, get woken up a while later to get ready for midnight mass, try to get there early to sing Christmas carols have mass come home take a family photo, have the midnight feast which consists of: Our gingerbread house, eggnog, fruit, and our 12 kinds of Christmas cookies and than go to bed sleep get up at the time (which we are allowed to get up at) on Christmas day sing Christmas carols outside peoples door (us younger kids) and we don't do it every year. Get everyone up, open our Christmas bags each of us taking turns, go to the tree same procedure have our baked lunch which is more of a afternoon evening kind of thing then spend the rest of the day doing whatever.

Yeah so that's what going on at the moment. Better go and do some more Christmas presents. :P
God Bless
