Interesting things in my day

Today I did a science kit with my brother Max.  It was a make-your-own-volcano.  We mixed plaster of Paris with water and poured it into the mold of a volcano.  After the plaster dries, we are going to paint it red, yellow, orange, black, gray, and brown.   I want to paint it with all these colors because it looks more real like that.   My uncle Stan and his girlfriend Yelena gave me and my brother New Year gifts:  two scratch art pictures, and one Magic Science For Wizards Only kit.  Then I hugged and kissed them, and they left on a trip to Canada.    In the evening, we decorated our house for New Year.  We decorated a live pine tree with ornaments and we glued plastic golden snowflakes on the walls in our dining room.  We also   hung flickering yellow-red-blue-and-green lights in the dining room.
