I got to spend time with my cousins because I went to my aunt’s house for a week to help them. I loved getting to see my cousins because they enjoy playing hide and seek along with many other games. I played hide and seek with my cousin until we had to go inside. Getting to spend time with them is amazing because I never get to see them. I had spent most of my Christmas day with my family.
Over Christmas break, at my grandma’s house, not many of my cousins were there even though they usually are able to make it. When I had arrived at my grandma’s house I had noticed that both of my aunts are having a baby. By the time I knew that my aunts were both going to have a baby, I realized that I would have two new baby cousins. I never actually get to see my aunts, uncles, grandmas, or cousins that often because they live in different states, so every time I get to see them I always play games, and make crafts with them whenever we can. I enjoy spending Christmas time with my family and friends. I got to help my mother wrap presents. While we were wrapping the presents, I ended up having tape in my hair. Wrapping presents with my mother is fun because it gives us a chance to bond.. Even though my father never helps us wrap the presents, it's still a bonding experience. Every year I get to wrap presents with my sister and mother. I love getting to wrap presents with my mother every year because it’s like a tradition we have, so to sum it all up I had spent wonderful times with my family, and great memories with my family that I will cherish and remember forever. I had loved my Winter Break. |
