Decorating the tree was fun.  It brought back good memories of decorating with my family.  It was hard not to think of why I can't spend Christmas with them this year.  The reason I'll never spend another Christmas with them again.  They're dead.

Once we finished decorating the tree, we watched some Christmas movies.  I drifted off to sleep on the couch with a smile on my face.

The sun filled the living room awakening me.  I reached over an grabbed my phone.  9:54. 

I went on my phone for a few minutes.  Then I got up.  I took a shower and changed into a comfy outfit.  A sweatshirt and fuzzy pajama pants.

I went in the kitchen in search of something to eat for breakfast.  I found some Honey Bunches of Oats and ate that.

Then Aunt Jennah and I started the cookies.  We took the dough out of the freezer and rolled it.  Then we took the cookie cutters and cut the dough into Christmas trees, candy canes, sleighs, gingerbread men, snowmen, and snowflakes.

We carefully placed them on cookie sheets and put them in the oven.  Then we took them out and set them aside to cool. 

Once we finished baking all the cookies, we made some frosting.  Next we frosted and added sprinkles to the cookies.

I tried a cookie and it was delicious.

"Well that was fun, but I should probably go do my homework now." I said as I ate a cookie.

"Ok, I'll be in here making dinner." Aunt Jennah said.  I grabbed a few cookies and headed to my room.

*the next day after school*

"I'm back from school!" I said tossing my backpack on the floor.  I grabbed an apple from the fridge and got in the car.  I have to go to my therapist today.

"Hi Chloe, how was your day at school?  Did you get a lot of homework?" She asked as she got in the car. 

I told her a little about my day, and a few minutes later she was pulling in the parking lot.
