Gingerbread Houses!!

A few days before we came to Mesa, Aubree, Amy, Carissa, and I made gingerbread houses (out of grahm crackers of course). We made some frosting and made our houses and decorated them using lots and lots of candy! It was kind of messy, but it was so much fun! And these are the houses that came out of this fun night!

This one was built by the one and only... CARISSA!!! Who else would put one random yellow M&M among the reds and the greens?

And this creative little house is by non other than... Aubree!! She was finally able to get a house to stay up!! Yay!!

And this beautiful... well it's not exactly a house... but it's Amy's!! The reason her's is a snowman and not a house is because Amy was also having troubles keeping her house up, and so Carissa told her to make a snowman out of grahm crackers. Amy graciously accepted the challenge and this is what she made!

And this one is my beautiful house! At first it was staying up really well... but that didn't last long. I was able to get a picture of it while it was still up. I was lucky. But I liked it while it lasted!

It was such a fun night! Thanks guys!

IT'S OVER!!!!!

I'm done with finals!! To be precise, I finished this morning at 11:00. I made it through my first semester of college!! It's official!! College isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but they do let you adjust before they throw you into all of the really hard stuff. That could make a difference. But hey, I made it and am so proud of myself! Now I get to go back home to Mesa and spend a good month there where I don't have to pay for groceries, and I can have a car to drive again, and a while bunch of good stuff like that!! But then it's back to school after that... It never ends...

(This is how I feel sometimes in college, like I'm really really little...)

There is Christmas in the Air!!!!

So last night we made a trip to Dollar Tree and bought Christmas decorations! Kylie brought up a little foot and a half tall Christmas Tree, and we decorated it with necklaces and earings. (Yes we are poor college students)

And we bought plastic flowers and Aubree and Kylie made them all pretty and Christmas-y!!

We also cut Snowflakes out of paper and hung them up by our kitchen to add to it.

Putting up our Christmas decorations made me so happy!!! It feels like Christmas now!!! I hope evryone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I love you all!!!
