10. Favorite Holiday memory as a child:

Oh, there are so many. I loved the Christmas when Blake came to see us, before we moved to Alaska. We rented video games, movies, and just had so much fun, and there was a great snow storm, so everything was so pretty, and it was such a peaceful happy Christmas. I also loved the time that I got this huge barbie house, that we were all trying to put together, and there was 40 some pages of instructions, and we were trying to put it together (I say we, but really it was everyone but me), and we finally took a break, and played the tape Blake got for dad (Hank Williams Jr.).

11. Can you ice skate?

Yeah, I guess I can, but I'm certainly not that good, it hurts my feet too bad. I can do it though.

12. Do you remember your favorite gift?

I got this cool little table and chairs, and a little kitchen when I was a kid, and those were so cool, but there have been so many. I just love presents, so they're all great! I got a cool stuffed sharpei dog (from Blake) that was cool, he still stays on my bed most of the time. In my cowgirl phase I got a really nice set of cowgirl stuff. But the list could go on and on and on and on....
