Thanksgivins'

This past week was a pretty eventful one. It started off with Andrea and jeremy and their three munchkins coming into town on Sunday to stay for the whole week! best thing ever! I love love love having them here! Since they are the only ones in our family who live out of state it totally completes us when they're here. And lucky for me i hardly had to work at all this week PLUS we got out after Wednesday for the weekend at school. :)

Thursday we had our family plus some of our extended family join us in our feast. We didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but i did snag a picture of this masterpiece. All credit to my creative sis, Andrea

Thursday night/Friday we of course did some hardcore black friday shopping. i started by going to Walmart and Target with my sisters, and then at midnight me and my friends went to the Chandler mall. I had never really gone clothes shopping on black friday, but it was exactly how i imagined it. We were all crowed around a gate and once midnight struck people were stampeding out! Everyone was running throughout the mall. it was insanity! we ended up staying out until 5a.m. and then crashed until about 12p.m. the next day. It was quite the shopping experience.

(This is clearly not the best picture of us, but i wanted one that showed the crowd)

Friday night was our day date for Winter formal. We ended up having to do the day date the weekend before the dance, because of some schedule conflicts, but nevertheless it was a blast! We went to Castles n Coasters, which is a super ghetto amusement park in Phoenix, but its so fun! there was hardly anyone there so we didn't have to wait in lines. 

The rest of the weekend we laid low and enjoyed our last few days with the whole fam eating leftover turkey and watching Elf.

 Speaking of which it is now officially time to crank up the Christmas music, because my favorite time of the year has arrived and is welcomed with open, loving arms!

Now lets see if the weather will cooperate and go down at least 20 degrees so i can wear my boots without sweating.

heureuse de Halloween

 Halloween was pretty chill this year. It's weird being older and trying to celebrate Halloween. Suddenly carving pumpkins feel like more of hassle and its now socially unacceptable to go trick-or-treating (not that i wanted to anyways).  However, we did go to my first "professional" haunted house. When it comes to haunted houses, or just being scared for that matter, it doesn't matter who is with me or where we are, because i immediately go into survival mode and will take down anyone who is in my way of escaping the creepy zombie lady crawling after me. I literally pushed my friends up against a wall, then fell on them, elbowed my friend in the stomach, got back up and booked it out in the hallway, and didn't look back once. Finally a worker had to stop me. Oh, and i broke my friend's necklace. By the way this was before we even got into the actual haunted house. This was just the waiting room. So, i think we all learned a valuable lesson that day, and that is not to be anywhere near me when i am feeling threatened. Luckily my friends are all okay, and the necklace was fixed.

Anyways, on Halloween night my friends and I decided it would still be fun to dress up and go to our neighbors annual haunted house (don't worry, everyone was okay afterwards, i wasn't too violent). Our street is really fun on Halloween, because everyone dresses up and sits on their driveways with fire pits (not that its already 90 degrees) and get really into it. So, we hung out around there and then went to my friend's house to play games.

 i was going to be a mime, but the hat i borrowed turned out looking more french, so i went with that. Hence the reason why the title of this post is in french.

Hope everyone else had a happy Halloween!
