Jan. 1, 2009 - An Amazing Christmas, So Far!
Wow. With all of the presents that I have recieved this year for Christmas, so far, I feel spoiled rotten! I am excited to tell everyone about them, because they are all so cool.
This first item, is not a Christmas present, but a graduation present, and I just got it yesterday. This may not mean anything to you, but it is a Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera. If you look at my avatar, you will see the camera itself. I am an incredibly indecisive person, so it took me a little while to decide which camera. When we first started looking at them, though, the SX10 really stood out to me, and my Daddy. It just looked nicer, and the features sounded good. So a trip to the electronics store was made, and though they didn't have the camera in stock, they had one to look at, and look at it we did. It was larger than I expected, but the whole thing was rather impressive. Using both the optical and the digital zoom, I was able to look about half way across the store and read large print on the boxes on a shelf. Since they didn't have the camera anyway, I decided to think on it. I know that this isn't really a good shopping practice, but after we looked at the SX10, it was hard to look at anything else. It was almost as if I was just looking at the others just to say that I did!
So far, after having it for only one or two days, I really like it. I am going to have to learn a lot about how to use it, because there are so many features that I know nothing about.
Now, onto my Christmas presents! All four of us children were pretty surprised to find that we had a Wii game system! Since it is still pretty new, we play it almost everyday, but I am almost certain that stricter limits will soon be put into place. At least I hope so! For my sake as well as the the rest! My favorite game that we got is MarioKart. I love racing with my favorite character, Toad.
Tonight, we opened presents with my Grammy. She hadn't yet given my birthday present, and I was very surprised to find that I have a new piano keyboard! It plays, I think, 100 songs, and while it is playing the songs, the keys that are being "played" light up to show you how to play the song. Also, I think it has more keys than my old keyboard, although I haven't checked yet. So that has got me excited about playing the piano again, and I need to find my teaching DVD.
I also got some books. My Antonia, Pilgrim's Progress, and Jane Austen, An Illustrated Treasury. Socks and pencils, candy, a journal/sketchbook, and yarn are some other things that I recieved.
So, like I said, it has been a pretty amazing Christmas. So Far!

Thanks for stopping by! Those presents sound too exciting! Especially the Wii game, for I have heard a lot about them but never had the opportunity to play one. My time will come:)
Have a Great Day!
