christmas eve.

 

 

christmas eve was full of christmas pj's, christmas treats, christmas songs, and some healthy competition, provided by spouses wrestling and a ping pong tourney. we were having so much fun we didn't realize how late it was until we went to bed at two in the morning. sorry not sorry.

gina turns twenty one.

it was georgina's birthday on sunday. we had church and jade's famous indian chicken and renn's famous brownies and my famous picture strings. jk they're not that famous. but they are awesome.

happy birthday george. this was only part one. part two is coming up soon....

friendsgiving 2012.

friendsgiving was a hit.

in conclusion: friendsgiving was a hit. my roommate becca owned that turkey. we were able to catch the macy's thanksgiving day parade and dance it out to neon trees. a new turkey trot tradition of bright socks and blue eyeshadow was born. georgina surprised me and turned on the waterworks. i was kind of obsessed with my tablescape, hence all the pictures of mason jars and the lacking pictures of people. we had twelve people total and it was so fun talking and discussing all the many blessings we have to be grateful for, eating and hanging out and watching everyone pitch in to do the dishes. i am excited for more friendsgivings to come!
