christmas extravaganza

today i'm posting pictures from last night. we had a bunch of young life girls over to decorate cookies and watch elf. it was great.

end note: yay cookies. yay young life. yay christmas time.

baking galore

today we got our bake on at the mcmansion! we're having a bunch of young life girls over tomorrow night for a christmas gathering with cookie decorating and other fun things, so we decided to go ahead and bake the cookies that we're going to decorate along with other cookies that'll we'll have just to eat. syd decided we should throw a cake in there too that wished jesus a happy birthday... so many sweets! so excited for tomorrow night!

end note: i cannot wait to eat all of this tomorrow!

unc v wisconsin

today unc played wisconsin at home. when we got to the dean dome, literally the only seats left were the last row in the entire building. but, there is no bad seat in the dean dome! of course, unc was victorious!

end note: hello basketball season!

post bible study picture

today someone had the idea to take a group picture after bible study since it was the last one for the semester. sadly, no one was extremely thrilled with the idea except jess.

end note: so sad this semester is ending.

wallace girls

today i got to take christmas card pictures for some friends. i've been wanting to pictures of the three girls - kelsey, alyssa and carley for a while now, so i snapped some of them after taking pictures of the whole family. this one is my favorite!

end note: it's beginning to look a lot like christmas!

hello black friday

today has been quite the day. this morning i got my hair cut, and then mom and i headed to southpark for some black friday shopping. it was a productive trip aka good shopping spoils. this afternoon i went and saw tori and mac. he has gotten so big and is the cutest. as tradition dictates, i went to casa grande for dinner with sara and tori. then we headed to see twilight, which was actually pretty good. my night didn't end there. next was waffle house with janel - one of my favorite things to do when i come home. waffles, tea and talking. so good. here are a few pictures to sum up the busy day!

end note: if i had had a blog this time last year, there is a good chance that pictures eerily similar to these  would have been taken one year ago today.

mcmansion cookie fail

today the mcmansion cleared out except for elaine, jordan and i. we decided to spend our last night here baking cookies, doing crafts and watching television. sadly, no chick flick. we stuck with the usual - criminal minds. our cookies were slightly a fail. they crumbled apart and weren't the prettiest, but they sure did taste good! and, they didn't burn!

end note: so excited to go home tomorrow!

blank canvas show

today the mcmansion went to the blank canvas fall show to support jessica! jess danced in 5 different numbers, and is one of the best out there if i do say so myself! she had quite the crowd there for her tonight too! here are a few pictures from the show. the lighting wasn't the best, but you get the picture - literally!

end note: where has the weekend gone?

house pictures

today we took pictures at the mcmansion. we've been meaning to do so all year, and finally took some in time to use for our house christmas card...

end note: shout-out to cameron for taking our pictures!

taylor swift, take III

today i got to see taylor swift in concert again! 3rd time! savannah, abby and i went. sadly, they didn't let me take my camera in, so i only have a picture from before!

end note: i love taylor swift. the end.

two elves

today i found two elves, i mean jordan and seth, in our living room. their red and green decor reminded me that it's little over a month to christmas. ah! it's so soon!

end note: now i want to watch the movie, elf.

ron-a-thon

today was adpi's annual 5k, ron-a-thon. every year we hold a pre-race spaghetti dinner and 5k to benefit the ronald mcdonald house of chapel hill. we had a good turn out today. as always, i was super impressed with how good the times were. also, please check out this precious little boy (4th picture down) who finished the race sprinting - cutest thing ever!

end note: maybe one day i'll enjoy running.

neon young life club

today we had neon club! i really do believe that this whole neon thing is something that got popular after i graduated high school. you say neon, and kids now will show up all decked out. i think it's safe to say that i probably owned one neon thing back in the day... anyways, club was great - minus the boys and bombs and crazy neighbors!

end note: on a random note, pancake night tonight at the mcmansion!

halloween at the hill - part II

today you get more pictures from halloween! this week is extremely busy with midterms, presentations and papers... professors don't understand that college isn't about school; it's about fun. or, maybe it's me who doesn't understand what college is really about. :)

end note: so much work, so little time!
