We had been planning the journey for several months, but we had no idea of the excitement waiting for us! We were headed to Whitefish, Montana my hometown. I missed my Nana and Grandpa dearly. I hadn't been to Montana since I was little. It took us three days to get there. It was a long drive, but it was worth it when we got there, finally. We didn't want to walk in right away. We wanted to surprise them because they didn't know when we would arrive. Instead, we sang Christmas carols until my Nana, who was in the kitchen, heard us it took her a while but she heard us. My Mom and Nana were crying because we hadn't seen them in such a long time. I was just glad that the family was all together. It was a great Christmas, we went sledding an awful lot that year because where I live there are no hills.  I got to see my other cousins that live in Montana we had fun with my older cousin, Breauna, we got to see her room and it was beautiful she hung up twinkly light and she had a lava lamp. As you can imagine my sister and I were children at play that Christmas even though we are a little old for that stuff it doesn't matter because you are never too old for anything at Christmas time.

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."
