My home is the best place ever. It's the only place where I can be myself. I have made many memories in the only house that I’ve lived in for my whole entire life. I find it really fun to play cards, especially with mom and dad. We play a chinese card game that’s really fun. Whenever we play together it’s funny, because most of the time dad is aiming at mom, and often my mom says that she has really good cards. In the end, dad loses, and we all start laughing. Mom just says to dad “ Hun? I told you that my cards were good.” In all the other matches, mom seems to be gaining on dad. It makes me laugh a lot. Playing cards is one of the only things dad will agree to do, if he’s not at work. I really like playing cards. My house is built on a hill, so beside my house is a hill that me, my sister Raeleen and my dad play on. It’s short, but it’s still quite steep. Last year, my sister got a snowboard, so she is nonstop trying to get better. Dad will join us some time, but the times when he isn't there is not as fun. Mom will also take pictures, because she loves taking pictures. Once I built a tiny bump on half of the hill, and Raeleen got very mad at me. She did go off of the bump once, but she didn’t fall. After that she got even more mad at me and told me to destroy the bump. Going down the hill is fun, especially in the winter. My house can never be replaced by anything. Having a house is the best gift. Everyone should have a place to call home.
