1. By: Ethan Verwers MY WINTER VACATION

2. THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT For Christmas my parents got me the best present ever, an Iowa Hawkeye bowl game ticket! To get to the bowl game my family and I had to drive three days to get to Arizona. When we got to Arizona we did a lot of things. Before the game we did lots of activities that were set up outside of the stadium. On our way back we had two hurry up because we only had two days to get back. I loved my present from my parents.

3. MY GRANDPARENTS’ HOUSES During Christmas break I went to both of my grandparents’ houses. Two days before Christmas I went to my dad’s parents’ house to celebrate Christmas. On Christmas Eve I went to my mom’s parents’ house. I got lots of awesome presents at both houses. I had lots of fun with my cousins at my grandparents’ houses.

4. THE BEST DAY The best day over Christmas break was by far Christmas Day. My favorite part of Christmas was opening my presents. In my stocking I got three PSP games, a T- Shirt, and candy. For presents I got nine PSP games, three PSP cases, a golf club cover, clothes, and an Iowa bowl game ticket. I had a lot of fun on Christmas Day.

5. WHAT I MISSED AT SCHOOL I missed a couple things at school over break. What I Missed the most hanging out with my friends. I also missed advanced math quite a bit. Also I missed school lunch a little. I really missed school over the break.
