Winners of the My Sister's Wedding and My Summer Vacation Giveaway

The winners of 5 sets of Hannah Goodman's Madeline Hickman books (My Sister's Wedding and My Summer Vacation), who had to:

Write a poem about your family (any length).

...are, in no particular order:

Sholom Meyers:

Our family has six kids and 20 fish.
Every night for dinner we eat more than one dish.
The kids go to school and learn to read and write
Than they come home and right away begin to fight.
My parents punish us by giving us time out.
They make us sit in the corner and then they shout.
We sometimes have a happy home.
I hope you like my family poem.

Cindi Aylor:

My family is crazy
This you will see
My children though lazy
are sweet as can be.
My husband is handsome
And funny and kind.
The day he picked me
He must have been blind!
We thrive and we love
through thin and through thick.
What's that? I must go now.
I hear someone getting......sick.

Elizabeth Paige:

My Family is a very diverse
There is no weirder family in this universe
Though we are strange
There is nothing about my family I would change
My mysterious mom
Even when she is upset she can remain calm
She was born in Trinidad
She reminds me of a good girl gone bad
My mom's mother
Though we never got the chance to meet each other
Sounds like I wouldn’t replace her for another
My moms Dad
We don’t get along very well isn’t that sad
When we do get along I'm glad
My oh-so-loving father
2 words teddy bear I won’t describe him why bother
My granddaddy love him the most but he isn’t feeling well sadly
Born in Ireland
Everyone thinks he loony but I understand Grandpa staged this
It was what he planned
My Grandma Doesn’t like my grandpa
In Cuba she was born and raised
She loved how the hot sun blazed
My older sister
From another mister
Feels she is an A-lister
My Older Brother Mallon
He drinks water by the gallon
Touch his stuff he'll scratch you with his talon
My younger brother Tyler
He can run an eight miler
He wants to be a hair styler
My niece Alana
Typically has a friend named hannah
And both of the hate bananas
My Niece Brie
Has a happy bunny tee
And loves with the song "we're breaking free"
The on person to describe is me
There is no stranger person to be
I have neither a friend nor foe
but at acting I'm a pro
I always love putting on a show
That when I sparkle, shine, and glow
Just so you know
My family's the best
Now I can’t rest
Waiting to see if I passed your test

Epiphany:

Pass The Potatoes – My Mother Said
(She’s Still Upset Because Our Yorkshire Is Dead).
I Remember The Olden Times Way Back When – Says My Dear Grandpa Lou,
In Our Newly Furnished Den.
What Is This Mess On The Carpet – Screams Dad
Its Just Crayon - Says Cousin Phil...
Don’t Get Mad
I’m Not Mad - Says Dad
I’m Just Worried Is All
Just Don’t Get Hurt, Be Careful,
Now Where Is My Brother, Paul.

I’m Here Stu - Says Uncle Paul,
Where Is That Kid Of Mine.
-He Down On The Floor With Those Crayons
And You're Lucky Not Turpentine.
Dad - I Say - When Do We Eat?
I Don’t Know..Wait For Your Grandma,
She's Right Down The Street.

Grandma Gets Here And We Are Ready To Eat
Man I’ve Been Waiting..
CAN WE ALL TAKE A SEAT??

So We Set Ourselves Up
For A Dinner
For All
For Grandpa And Grandma
And Uncle Paul And Cousin Phil With The Crayons
And Dad With His Tie
And Mom And I In The Kitchen
Waiting To Serve And Get To The Pie

Alecia Gibson:

My brother is greedy,
my mom is seedy,
and my dad is needy
but I love them all the same.
