"The Christmas Shoes," by New Song, reminds me of my granny who always bought sparkly slippers for Christmas. When she died, 3 weeks before Christmas, they played this song at her funeral.

My Weekend

This weekend I had 1 baseball tournament, 2 baseball practices, and 1 book to read. I had 4 games in the tournament, 1 Saturday and 3 today. Sadly, we lost in the championship and ended up 2nd...... My first practice was at Chukchansi Park (Grizzlie Statium) and my second one was at Figarden. I haven't finished my book so far, but I think I'll finish by tommorow. I just got up from my nap with my grandma's dog, Harlie. I was so tired from my awesome weekend of sports and reading!!!:)
