Today is an wondrous day for today we are going to Canterlot for Hearths Warming Eve I can’t wait to see grandma and aunt Twilight Flare along with my brother. When Spike and I saw them we smiled. “Twiley.” Spike said as he galloped over like a little colt he is a colt at heart after all.

“Shinny.” I said as I embraced my older brother.

I then went to embrace my grandma and Aunt Twilight Flare. “It’s so good to see you how you’ve been girl.” Aunt Twilight Flare asked.

“Oh I’ve been just wonderful my friends quite enjoyed that Hearth's Warming Play we were in.” I said happily at the memory.

“And I enjoyed being the narrator.” Spike said proudly.

“That’s wonderful to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed being in the play just as much as we enjoyed watching it.” Grandma said.

“Well I’m glad you enjoyed our performance.” I said happy and with appreciation that they were there. 

“Come on let’s make some hearts warming dinner.” Grandma said excited.

Spike and I helped her in the kitchen we prepared yams as well mashed potatoes. As well as the fish that Spike and I would eat.

We enjoyed our dinner Spike especially loved the mash potatoes because there was goat cheese added to it. It’s a recipe grandma’s friend gave her and it’s quite delicious and any delicacy is perfect for the occasion. 

We then went and sang Hearths Warming carols as well as other later classical Hearth’s Warming songs. We then went to bed happy for the coming day.

The next day we had Hearth’s Warming breakfast pancakes, fruit, and some eggs for Spike and I we do love eggs after all. My brother doesn’t mind, he's used to it now that he realized that many of his fellow guards eat meat for protein and energy. I am not surprised for such a job people would need their protein after all.

We then opened up our stockings I got a few cds as well as a dvd of a movie that recently came out called Mare Going on 30 its pretty good and I appreciate and love the gift. We then opened up our presents I got a few books and dvds as well as a 3ps one for me and one for Spike as well as some games we’ve been wanted to play we were like little foals with how excited we are but we still remembered to thank them. My brother already had one but he also got a few cds as well as a new speaker for his apartment which he really acted like a little excited colt when he saw it. We also got grandma a few new cook books she’s been wanting as well as a poster for my aunt showcasing her favorite jazz band. ]

Afterwards we began to watch a very good newer Christmas movie called Elf it was quite entertaining as well as heart warming. Spike and I were glad that we had such an amazing time and such memories will stay with us forever.
