FRIENDS CHRISTMAS PARTY 2008

..... 18 years and counting! I am a girl who love her traditions and this is one of my most favorite! I look forward to this weekend all year long. We eat (thanks Julie for the amazing dinner!), we exchange gifts, we laugh (until we make some cry), we talk and share all that has happened in our lives over the past year, we reminisce (that can get very embarrassing) this year we pulled out some videos from our high school days. That was funny! Really people ... I was NOT very cute!, and then we eat and laugh and talk some more! No one wants to go to bed because we don't want the party to end! But then we remember how old we are and that 3AM is just too late for us these days! I have mentioned many times on my blog how blessed I am go have these girls in my life, to have have such wonderful friends! I love these girls with all my heart!
all the eating and laughing and lounging and picture taking and talking!

Some are shy and some ... are not! Ok, none of us are really shy! Hands down the picture taking is the most hysterical part of the night. For some reason it is just pure entertainment!
Part of what I look forward to the most is Beckie coming to town for the whole weekend! After the friends party our party keeps going ... pedicure, shopping, dinner, movie ... you know, the usual! It really is my favorite weekend of the entire year!

Merry Christmas everyone! I will start the countdown for next years party!

We missed you Holly and Sandy!

Thanksgiving Beach Week

It was a week of family, beach, relaxing, food, games, walks, movies, and love! It was such a great week. There was no agenda which made it a perfect week for us to just relax and enjoy being together. It was sunny and warm and perfect for being on the beach.

Thanks to mom and dad for the great week! We all had such a good time and will treasure our memories!

Rupunzel

This is just to show the progress of my hair growing out! The first picture is from one year ago and the second picture was taken last week at the beach. Can you believe how much it has grown in just one year! It even has a little curl to it ... who knew???
