Merry Christmas

My family and I had so much fun decorating our Christmas tree. We watched the Jets VS. New york Giants. The only problem is I’m a Patriots fan. All those other teams stink.

On Christmas Eve lots of our family came over to open presents and eat lunch. My nanny bought me a football. I broke a snowglobe. My mom broke a plate a glass and another plate. She also got a ninjago guy his name is whiplash she got whiplash for my birthday. My dad and I play with the football every day. On Christmas  I got a ninjago set called the SkullTruck and a remote control car. On that day my brother broke a wheel from my car.The only guy I need now is the green ninja and Samukai.        

Most of today I spent writing on my blog. My brother is watching a show called Pair of Kings. My mom is addicted to Plants VS. Zombies. Shes been addicted sense September in fact she is playing it now.                                                                  

Today my dad took me out all day. Most of the time I was playing Mario Kart 7 and Madden NFL 12. For lunch we went to a place called Chipotle. My dad has a friend there she is the cashier. I got a soft taco with chicken, tomato, beans, guacamole and rice. After lunch we went to Monster Golf. You can win prizes by playing games. I got the high score in a basketball game. The high score was 92. I got 97. I had 200 tickets. With those tickets I got 2 goopy snakes. 1 red the other blue.You can stick them to walls like goopy hands.

Getting to know Paris (where I was born)

Waiting on the plane
We have just boarded the plane. My parents brought me here for my birthday. We are in the business lounge. That means we are lucky people. We have no windows because we are in the middle. There is a right,left, and middle. I was born in Paris. I am more excited then ever,even more then I went to China but that was awesome to.

Bonjour!


The plane is flying

It is night time. I wish my class could come with me but that would be like $5000000. Now it is dinner time. I am having beef ravioli and salad. The ravioli was good but to salty. I didn't eat the salad.


At the appartment

We are spending 2 nights at our friends parents house. I kept slipping of the bed so I moved to the couch that was much better but only 3 feet long.

Going out

Red, white and blue
There is a famous road called the Champs-Elysees. They always light that street up beautiful. Tonight they had circles and mini circles hanging on the bottom of them. It lit up any color you could imagine. They are supposed to leave it up for the whole year.

The best view in town
The ferris wheel

Paris is known for two things the city of love and the city of lights. We went on the ferris wheel and saw a bunch of things like the Eiffel tower, the church with Jesus’s thorns from the thorn crown, and the famous river that cuts Paris in half, called the Seine.

Jet lag

I always wake up at night and can;t get back to bed so I look at my iPad for the time so I know how long I have to wait. My brother snores that is why I wake up and play with iPad. I took pictures of him sleeping but he hopefully wont care.

iPad dead

My dad bought a thing that was supposed to charge our iPad. We tried it out and Paris doesn’t have 3 things sticking out it has 2 circle ones and a hole. That didn’t work out too much. We bought 1 more that worked but not for iPods.

Shopping

We bought an Eiffel tower that is bigger than usual. We have zero euros so we have to get more at a bank. Euros are worth a little more than one dollar.

The restaurant

We saw my aunt Nina at a restaurant called Angelina. They are famous for their desserts. They are in the top 3 dessert restaurants in Paris. We had a chocolate éclair and a mille-feuilles and some sandwiches.

Learning French

My dad taught me a couple of words in French like bonjour means hi and au revoir means bye and merci means thank you and last but not least, téléphone means telephone.

Inside a pyramid
Baseball

My dad and I played baseball in front of the Louvre. They have lots of gardens surrounding it so we had to play on some sort of sand or dirt. It used to be the king’s garden and he would let his friends play and walk around in it. I slipped a lot on that dirt because it is not like what we play on in our back yard.

The Museum

We saw lots of famous pictures but the most famous, #1 in the world, the Mona Lisa. I couldn’t see so I went on my dads head and got caught by a cop so I came down and I kicked someone in the face. I hope the lady was not hurt, she did not seem too mad at me. The cop brought me to the front of the crowd so I can get a better picture of the Mona Lisa.

Yum!!!

When  I was sleeping at 7:30 am my dad got like 10 pains au chocolat. I woke up the first thing I did was eat eat eat.

The cave

When my dad was little he lived in Paris in front of the Eiffel tower. There’s a old pond, sometimes they used to drain the pond and my dad would ride his bike in the pond your not supposed to do that but he was only 9. The cops used to chase them a lot through a restricted cave and saw poor people and they threw twigs and rocks at my dad and his friends. My dad took me to the pond at night and we saw a shadow in the cave. I wonder if it’s the same people who threw rocks at my dad.The we saw something huge that jumped in the pond. It was too big to be a fish but it was too small to be a person.

The hotel

We just arrived at our hotel called the hotel Keppler. It is on Kepler street. I wonder why hotel Keppler has 2 Ps and Kepler street has 1. Our room is small but nice. Have you ever seen black soap? I have in our bathroom.

Noura

We’re having brunch at a place called Noura. On the way we saw a famous TV star that my dad liked when he was young. I played my iPod most of the time until my battery died. Then I started to eat our food. It was Lebanese food.

Under the tower
Eiffel tower

At 9 pm when my mom was sleeping my dad took me and Eli to the Eiffel tower. At the top of every hour they make the Eiffel tower shine and when I say shine I mean shine.


Diep

We saw a restaurant called Diep. We saw a friend of ours, uncle Karim. He showed me a game called A Breaker. Hopefully my parents will let me get it. They have no wifi so I could not download it at the restaurant. I had dumplings, noodles and wraps. When I went to the bathroom I saw a tank of fish and lobsters. My brother fell asleep and it felt like he slept for 20 hours.

Night

Tonight I slept like an angel. While  my brother played the iPad for some reason he talks and moves in his sleep. My dad is sleeping on a couch that is 3 feet small because he snores. The only time I woke up was when my dad snored in my ear.

Hotels breakfast room

We just came down for breakfast. We had hot chocolate and lots of things they even have fruit salad and they had lots of pains au chocolat but not even half as good as the ones we buy at Ladurée.

Got to learn more French

We are at our friends house but it turns out they only speak French so I have to learn more to communicate with them. They have 2 kids Thomas and Ella. They have the biggest apartment I ever seen. Ella has a lot of dolls especially Barbies. Now we ate dinner, we had pasta and proshooto. We are playing iPad and I am playing Sonic 5 Run. They don’t have wifi so I cant get A Breaker here either.

Not understanding

Hanging out at the Louvre
My mom had a meeting so I had to stay at Thomas’s house for a long time. To think that I watched a TV show in a language I couldn’t even understand. I was born in France so I should know how to understand all these words but I don’t.
