My Thanksgiving Break

I finally have time to update the blog! YES! So right now I'm on Thanksgiving break and everything is going very well! My parents decided to take us on an adventure today and we went to Macy's to see the "A Day In The Life Of An Elf". It was very cute! After we stayed to watch the Holidazzle parade! That was very fun as well. We also went out to dinner! That was yummy! I had Swedish Meatballs with like a jelly sauce to go with. It didn't look good but the taste was great!

Maggie and I were talking about our Spanish Speaking skills and she wanted to say She hurt her foot and she said she should say "Me duele el pie." I thought she wanted to say that her foot was hurtING like in the present tense so I was really confused for a second. I remember Mr. Challgren saying something about the -ING ending is Spanish is -ANDO and I thought Duelando didn't make sense so I must be using the wrong infinitive. Luckily there was a waitress there who spoke Spanish and my mom tried to ask her how to say "I hurt my foot", but she didn't understand so using my awesome Spanish speaking skills I asked, "Como se dice "I hurt my foot" en Espanol? And then she said "Me duele pie." ( Pie is actually pronounced not like pie but with a short E sound) Then I finally got what was trying to be said! I was so slow! haha :)But technically if you want to say "I hurt" then it would be Duelo in the "Yo" form of the infinitive Dueler- to hurt. Its kind of hard to explain. Well not hard but too long and I don't really want to give a Spanish lesson when I have a WAY better story to tell :)

Anyway, the display at Macy's was gorgeous! I loved seeing Santa The theme was about elves so after I got my picture taken with Santa I did my impression of Buddy The Elf (From the movie "Elf".) when he gets really excited for Santa to come. So I'm all "SANTA! OH MY GOSH I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM! It was really funny! It gave Santa a good laugh too.

Later we went out to dinner at this really fancy restaurant! The food was really yummy. The restaurant was decorated really fancy and Christmas like. It was really cool. For me it was really hard to order food cause some of the words were really fancy on the menu! On the menu they had how they cook their food and some of the titles of the dishes were big as well. Did I menchin it was a fancy restaurant? It was a great meal!

All and all it was a great day! I really enjoyed seeing stuff I haven't seen in a long time! I haven't seen the Macy's display since the 6th Grade! Its been a while now that I'm in the 9th grade. Haha I loved it!

PS. I can't remember if I posted something about this earlier but I went to the "All Time Low" concert! It was so amazing! It was awesome to see "Hey Monday", "We The Kings", and "All Time Low". They are all great bands. At first I was kind of freaking out during the concert cause I was so squished by a bunch of older kids I didn't know and it was kind of scary but once we were able to get through the crowd and find some people who were about our age and a little bit calmer it was very fun. I went with my friend Sarah and her sister Becca and Becca's friend Ciara. It was a fun time!
