Happy Birthday,Kenz!

Kenz and her boy.  Kenz went over to Jacob's house for dinner then came back home for cake and presents.  Her family sent her a package of gifts. 






We made her a four layer cake that alternated between white and red velvet with cream cheese frosting and raspberry jam in the layers. Rach was the official photographer of the evening.  She was very serious about her work.

Snow.
Its finally snowing.  There is a layer on the ground.  Its been so nice for so long.  Now it must end. I've been working on school lately.  Trying to be an Art History major and all that jazz.  I still feel conflicted about it.



I'm going to learn how to drive in the snow tonight since I keep almost killing myself.

Today Grant and I celebrated Chinese New Year with Chinese food! Woooo

Home for the Holidays

Christmas was a blur of family and of hiding from said family.  It was pretty decent.  I got to cook which is always fun.  I didn't get any Christmas presents.  I got to open presents, but they were for the kinect my family got and since I don't live at home they aren't really for me.  I got myself j'adore by Dior though(:  Woot.
Yesterday I woke up and went to my friend Grant's house for breakfast and a movie. It was The Illusionist. Soo good.  I've never seen it before, but it was really good.  It was so pretty!

Then we went downtown so he could shop for important things.  We got some coconut water with chunks and aloe with mango.  The aloe was good, the coconut water... not so much.  The chucks made it bearable.




















Then we went down to the beach.  The water wasn't that cold.  The tide was really low, so we went and looked at all the pier leg things.  They are covered in muscles and barnacles and snails and something we don't know.  It was cool.  I got to see the animal inside a barnacle.

Ward Christmas Party/Last Social of the Semester

So we went to our ward thingy.  It was cool and all that jazz.  They served Mexican food and so many types of cheesecake! We also did a white elephant exchange.  I got a religious book),: It was fun anyway.  I wore my green and gold heels!  It was awesome.

I just realized I have 5 essays to do... I guess I'll go do that...

Gingerbread house
Kenz and I made a gingerbread house!  We thought it would be fun to make a gingerbread house in honor of Hanukkah which is later this month.




And now I need to do my homework and study for finals.  So sad.

3 Weeks Till Christmas Break
So my parents decided to fly me down for Thanksgiving.  I got to see all the kids.  They are all getting so tall.  For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of family over.  I made homemade cranberry sauce which I only got a little of because I was at the kid table. Kid table = lame. Anyway. I don't know why I got stuck there.
I went to In-n-Out while I was there.  I even had a hamburger.  I know so many calories.  But I did it anyway.

Of course I had to go shopping at a good mall while I was home.  I bought so many things and now have a list of things I want still.  It felt amazing. I even went to Zara<3 Day complete. I did not compete in Black Friday though.

On Thanksgiving day, my brother, dad, aunt, uncle, and I all went to visit family members' graves.  I'm named after my great-grandma, so its always kind of weird to see my name on a headstone...


My brother Ben and I(:

 My little sister had me put make up on her one day.  Usually I have softer,easy to remove make up for her. I forgot it of course.  So we used mine.


On Friday I went on a bike ride with my friend.  We went all throughout the Central Park in my area and looked at all the ducks.  It was super fun!

Saturday night I hung out with Dane.  It was the last time I will see him for two years.  He's been called to serve a mission in Colombia.  We had a super fun night.  I'm going to miss him.  A lot. 

The night I had to leave we went out for sushi.  I miss fish and sushi so much.  I ate wayyy too much though. My brother and his friend. 



It was my 9 year old brother's first time.  He didn't like it... haha

And now I am home.  Back in the frozen wasteland.  Its very cold here. Not snowing.  Yet.  My apartment is freezing though! I feel like the cut off the heating for the break.  Rude.

Costumes and roller blading
Tonight we had our Halloween ward party.  Kenz, KD, and I dressed up in our onezies.  I am a child and I am proud of it.  It was a lot of fun!  This is my first time in a roller rink and my first time skating since I was probably 10. It was fun(:

Halloweeeeeeenie
This morning Kenz and I woke up and made pancakes with pineapple!  I bought a pineapple this week with the intent of learning how to cut it.  I did!  It was super fun.  Kenz twisted the top of for me.  Action shots!



 Okay now we are getting ready for the halloween dance(:  My costume is super last minute.  I am either a "real housewife of Idaho" or a housewife gone wild or the morning after.  Whatever.  Its super comfy.  I wanted to be Beyonce from her new music video where she wears a pink button up shirt.  Shes so cute. But it got lost in translation.

My dad sent me a picture of my little sister(:

My brother's face is adorable  He IS Cap. America

I am infected with sparkles.  They are EVERYWHERE.  Haha its awful.  But so good.
