Splendiforous Week

I didn't get many good pictures this week....so I will just throw some in throughout.

There were many things I did and learned this week, so I felt I should share them with you...

• Kelsi, AJ, Chris, Jenny, and I went to Logan High's Musical on Tuesday the 25th, it was Grease. It is definitely a really weird thing to see these kids who were MUCH younger than you to be performing as seniors. I laughed harder than anyone else did...I throughally enjoyed the show though.

• I would like to thank everyone who tried to make my birthday as special as possible. I still hate, and will probably always hate, when my birthday is. It really is hard to muster up any positive feelings...I tend to be forgotten. One day I may appreciate that fact but I still enjoying growing one year older.
• And a very big special thanks to my grandma Swenson who mailed me money, she was out of town, I went ahead and purchased a Blair Waldorf outfit. It made me feel SO cool all day long! Complete with red tights and a red headband!

• Thanksgiving takes a lot of preparations! I never have helped in the past but this year I actually jumped in to help my mother in law. I hope Daren appreciates getting to sleep in...
• I decided to branch out this year and try new things...I ate yams for the first time, cranberry sauce on the turkey, and I even ate some carrots....
• I'm a good proportioner on that glorious day! I was ready for more when everyone was failing. Perhaps Chet, Daren's cousin, was also ready but his plate was definitely more heaping then mine.
• I failed to get ANY pictures this day....probably because I couldn't get up from the couch to go get my camera from my purse. Lazy me...if only Julia was there, she would have gotten pictures! We missed you Julia!
  

• I will never got day after Thanksgiving shopping...Or so I always said.
• Daren and I hurried back on Friday morning so we could meet up with my sister Andria and her family to go to lunch before they left to go back to Utah County. Worst service ever...but most enjoyable lunch ever! I love my nieces!
• After lunch I went shopping with AJ and my mother. Too many people!!! But I got some great finds I do believe.
• These are the kind of pictures that happen when you give your little brother your camera.

Thanks for bearing with my pathetic post...I'm sad Thanksgiving is over. But I am trying to welcome Christmas with open arms. I feel foolish listening to Christmas music but I really am working hard and trying to make sure EVERYONE will have a wonderful Christmas. I can't wait to see my new niece Lillian...thats the thing I'm looking most forward to this Christmas.

P.S. I really can't wait to see what Andria buys me for Christmas(hahaha just kidding ;))
