10. Favorite Holiday memory as a child:
All four of us kids were in the basement, TRYING to sleep. I got a lot of slack for not believing in Santa that year, so I thought I would listen extra close for footsteps and jingle bells; but really that christmas was the best because we lost a lot that year. We were paying house payments and eating by the generosity of grandparents and the use of credit cards. A neighbor gave us a fake christmas tree, that had very little branches, but the fun and challenge of helping that tree become beautiful was so much fun. All of our special ornaments were ruined in the fire, so we made our own ornaments. I knew that if we got any gifts that year, we'd be lucky; we prayed a lot and drew together as a family; Still, I was young and the excitement of recieving a gift was fun. So maybe I hoped santa was real so I could get something. Santa did come, but it wasn't the magical man everyone talks about, it was members of our ward, and thoughtful family members, and my mother's creativity. That year, i learned more what christmas was all about, and it wasn't the gifts!
11. Can you ice skate?
nope. I love to pretend. i can stay up for longer than 10 seconds, does that count? Acutally, I miss going skating
12. Do you remember your favorite gift?
I recieved a pink teddy bear from my grandma from my mom's side. I actually thought it was sorta ugly at first, I didn't like pink for one, but people kept giving it to me. Anyway, I still loved it instantly because it was from my grandma; She died the next year. I carried it everywhere. We went on a vacation and i lost it. I was devastated, and all I wanted for Christmas or a birthday was a bear like it to play as a sub for it. Then one year, I thought I was going to get it, but I didn't, but when we all got up to have breakfast, my sister pointed under the tree and said, "Laura, there's one more gift for you" It was Teddy; I still have her, and now she's one of alli's favorite stuffed animals, but she's renamed her "pink bear".
