marguss sent me a gift!

thanks, mom!

yayy

we took this before our ward christmas party! i was going for elvish...

i went to arizona for thanksgiving.

i spent time with my sweet family.

i got to hang out with my best friend.

i made my jakey a blanket for our six month.

i also went to prescott with my cousin cheyanne to visit my dad and brian. and i got to spend time with chantry and jayden. i went shopping on black friday. it was a nice trip, and i look forward to going back in a couple weeks.

jake picked off all the nail-polish from my right thumb last night. we saw the blind side tonight and i liked it.

christmas is coming...!

and urban outfitters reminded me in my inbox. thanks, UO, for making me want everything that you have.

like these marbleized ornaments. so pretty. they're almost like easter eggs! but i'm getting ahead of myself.

also, this diet coke ornament is calling my name. loudly and repeatedly. jacqui o gave me one my senior year, and then regis, my fat (and rude) wiener dog, stepped on it and it broke. i actually cried. really.

this cardboard fireplace is so cute. i have the perfect spot for it in my living room.

a glittery owl ornament. need i say more?

and this crochet panda ornament is so cute. it looks like the pet that i have on my ipod named jin su shi.

it snowed today for the first time. well, the snow stuck for the first time. i wish it would stay warm. i don't get along with the snow and the cold. they are rude because i get along better with the sun and heat.

however, the good thing about cold and snow is that it gets me in the christmas spirit early! i've been listening to christmas music all day. and jake and i have been watching holiday movies for weeks. these things are good.

nobody said it was easy

last night i went up to park city with amber and julie and some of amber's friends. we watched accepted and had fun. i drank a ton of diet coke, as usual.

tonight i went with kit to the "freeze fest" where there was broom hockey on the ice and ice skating and gingerbread house making and dancing and other activities. we played broom hockey and my initial strategy was just to keep standing, considering i don't have much balance or coordination on dry ground. so i kind of just pretended to follow where the ball was going while still keeping a safe distance. the second round that we played, however, i hit the ball a couple of times. once i hit it pretty hard, and my feet flew out from under me and i ate it. hard. i didn't cry though, i laughed!

the last two nights have been fun because abc family has had the harry potter weekend. i am a great big fan of this.

we have blue christmas lights in our window, but they look more like hanukkah lights. i plan on creating some art involving a menorah and the star of david. i hope this isn't wrong of me. we also have a small christmas tree, so we represent the major holidays.
