What does home mean to me?

When I think of home it means my family. Home is a safe place to go to. Home means a fridge full of food. Home means a pantry full of our favorite snacks. Home means having meals at the table with my family. Home means having fun and playing or gaming with my friends in the basement. Home means playing video games and drinking root beer out of glass bottles with my dad. Home means playing knee hockey with my dad and pool with my sister. Home to me is sleepovers with my cousins. Home is barbecues in the summer and in the winter!! Home means dance parties in the kitchen with my mom and we can play the music so very loud!! Home means an outdoor viewing party with all my friends during the Oilers playoffs. Home means when me and my friends are playing hide and seek that our garage is the neighbourhood home base. Home is my Lego wall, full of all my Lego creations. Home means playing with my friends with water guns and our home is the water refill station for everyone. Home means a place where my friends can come and get snacks or drinks when they are hungry. Home means a place that my friends can get help if they hurt themselves. Home means playing soccer in the backyard with all my friends until 11:00 at night in the summer. Home means being with my family and having Friday night movie nights and my mom makes us candy snack bowls! Home means warm showers whenever I want. Home means a warm cozy bed I can sleep in with my fluffy warm blanket. Home smells like lavender, freshly baked cookies, vanilla scented candles and eucalyptus. Home makes me feel happy and safe.
