I love Christmas time at Disneyland! It's so magical! The castle looks amazing as always!
The Christmas parade at Disneyland was so fun to watch! Below I have a video from my YouTube channel of the parade...
This is a video of the Marching Band playing Christmas music right before the parade. They actually did a little ballet dance to the Nutcracker song! It was funny!
This was my third time being at Disneyland for the Christmas time and I hope I get to be there again for Christmas in 2019!
I am one of the runner ups for my state and I'm going to Nationals this year for National American Miss! I can't wait! It's going to be so fun!
I'm so excited that after three years of NAM pageants I get to go to Nationals! The State Queens go to Nationals for the title of National American Miss and the runner ups for the states ~ the City Queens go to Nationals for the All American Miss title. So there are two pageants going on at the same time.
I have below two videos I put together. One video I'm showing my crown and banner and the other one I'm showing the opening number dress that all of the girls will be wearing.
Serving others and helping out anyway that we can is important! I love serving my community! There is a non profit place that helps out families that don't have a good environment at home, so I thought it would be fun to buy the kids some things to play with.
My mom and I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of things like little slinky's, bubbles, little note pads, colored pencils and stencils. Then we found mini play doughs at Best Buy. We also bought the bags to put the stuff in at Walmart.
If you have a place in your community that helps out families or children then you could make kits like this too. You could do something completely different than this, but this just gives you an idea of what you could do for a kit.
Here is a little video I put together of the kits...
My mom and I recently went to Disneyland on a really fun vacation! We went to Mickey's Halloween Party! Here is a little video of the Halloween Party at Disneyland!
Before Mickey's Halloween Party I always go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get a magical transformation by the Fairy Godmothers in Training! It's so fun!
At Mickey's Halloween Party there were a bunch of Trick or Treat Trails throughout the park. To explain the trails ~ you walk in line and the cast members give you candy. It's nice to know that I never have to grow up and stop Trick or Treating! I can always go to Disneyland to go Trick or Treating! Thank You Disneyland!!!
My mom and I have yearly passes to Disneyland because well... it's awesome and it's the best! Yearly pass holders had a Trick or Treat trail so that was fun!
In the middle of Trick or Treating we stopped to see the amazing parade! Disneyland always has the best parades! It had Mickey and Minnie with the Disney Villains!
For the first time I got to meet Cinderella's Step Mother and Step Sisters! It was awesome!
The Fireworks were amazing! I'm glad we watched that!
I love getting Disneyland balloons!
This is how much candy and snacks combined that my mom and I got from Trick or Treating at Disneyland! This is how much candy you get! Super awesome!
There are so many things you can do every day to feel happy and think positive. The number one thing is feel appreciation for everything in your life. Be thankful for everything. As you go throughout your day say to yourself that you are thankful for this and for that. That you are thankful for this person and for that person. Be thankful that you can do the things you can do. Be thankful that you have the opportunity to go to school and that you have great friends and kids at school. If you are older and reading this, be thankful that you have a job. Be thankful for the home that you have. Be thankful for the food you have to eat. Be thankful for all of the simple things in life. Once you appreciate the simple things you start to feel really happy and love life. At night write down what you are thankful for and why you are thankful for those things. When you write out the reason it makes you appreciate the thing you are thankful for more. Another thing to help you feel happy every day is to focus on thinking positive. Just try to think positive and that will work. If you catch yourself thinking something negative, then stop that thought right then. After you stop the thought think of three positive things to balance out that negative thought to make yourself feel better. Do one thing a day that you love. Doing something each day that you love will bring joy into your life. Even if it's something little. Maybe it's watching your favorite movie or show, eating a treat, going for a walk, calling up a friend, or going shopping. Anything that makes you feel happy. If you try to focus on positive things in your life, things that you are thankful for, the good things in your life, and things that make you happy ~ then it will make a difference in your life. I hope everyone can feel joy and be happy! ~ Rachel
My mom and I went on a fun trip for the summer! This blog post will have the Vegas part of our trip. We love the buffet in the Paris Hotel and we love to stay there in the hotel as well! Every time we go to Vegas we like to stay at the Paris Hotel. It's a really nice hotel, plus they have the best buffet ever ~ Le Village Buffet!
My favorite thing there is the crepes! I get a bunch of crepes every time!
For our first night in Vegas we did stay at a different hotel ~ the Circus Circus hotel. We stayed there, because we wanted to do a lot of things at that place.
We love watching the performances that they have there and play the arcade games. At one of the games I won D'lish Donut! I love shopkins!
This is one of the performances we watched. It was amazing!
The picture above is our room at the Paris hotel. It's so nice!
We are taking care of kittens! A couple of months ago a stray cat had seven kittens in my grandparents garage. It was a big surprise to us! My mom was feeding the mother cat and another stray cat that would come and go during the day.
We have never taken care of kittens before. We had baby bunnies a few years ago. This has been a very fun time with these kittens!
I love this picture because of the kitten in the middle! He is sleeping with his hand up in the air! He does that a lot!
This one is one of our favorites! Her name is Sabrina because I'm currently watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch and I wanted to name her after that show.
Sabrina is a very pretty kitten and she loves to pose like a model!
