Christmas Eve

Ok. So today I went to the Christmas Eve family service with the family and had a blast. Then I went on over to Luli's house, had a blast and ate some awesome food (tried mole and menudo for the first time) and unwrapped some awesome presents:

Haha DC is very clever. She just taped all of the presents together! No hassle there! =)

And every year on Christmas Eve, we get to open one present from under the tree. This year i picked a present from my grandparents in Maine. My grandma always gets me the most interesting things, so I enjoy starting off the "present opening" with one of theirs. Well, this year they sent the following:

A brush and comb set (Mid-sized, for travel) and personalized stickers with monkeys, giraffes, ect.

I love them, so much. =) Hope you all have an awesome Christmas!!

Say what?!?

Ok... I was at Wal-Mart today (I know... no surprise there..) and I was walking down one of the aisles and saw the following:

(condoms and what not...)

Kids activities?! Say what?! Wal-Mart is promoting some provocative stuff!!
..goodness..

Reminiscing the good ol' days..

I was over taken by boredom last night and decided to skim through some old VHS tapes we have. I found some super old home videos of my first steps and what not... Crazy how time passes so quickly eh? Here's a snapshot of one of the videos:

Haha it looks like I was stoked to walk... awesome. =)

Yes.

This week I:

Baked and frosted sugar cookies with my mother on Tuesday (snow day).

Was given a chocolate penguin.

..and some massive chap stick. no lie.

What a week. I finished my finals and I am super stoked for Christmas!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

So I woke up to some wonderful news. School is cancelled for today. God is awesome!!! =)
..I looked out my window, only to see the following in a short amount of time:

well, snow of course

Footprints on the ground, meaning my dad WALKED to the train station... brave man.

and this guy. Driving up and down the street... at a high speed... there is always that one person who has to do stupid things on a beautiful day.. goodness!


Hope you all have an awesome day!

The Christmas Tree

We put together our tree yesterday. Woo Whoo!!
..we've had this tree for about 16 years... so yeah. I've decided to name it Jeffery. I'm not sure why, but yes. So here it is.

not assembled yet.

1/3 assembled.




woo whoo

2/3 assembled.

3/3 assembled!! woo whoo!!

..just tilt your head a bit..

I forgot to turn the pic it right side up and I don't want to go through the hassle of re uploading it. haha

..I have to decorate it now..

Ah Environmental Science...

..you entertain me, oh so much. Ha-ha. Ok, so we went on yet another walk to the Rio Grande yesterday... and here is what we experienced:

A fish in the ditch area, possible Trout.

..we named him Nemo..

..Lucas and Carl, attempting to "spear" the fish with tree limbs..

haha Lucas... battling the fish.
Now, he did smack the fish out of the water, yet only for a moment. All of the girls in the class, including me, did not want Nemo to die a slow, painful death... So he put him back in and walked away like a gentleman...




Beautiful

Under the bridge graffiti

yessir.

Well, it looked somewhat "browner" to me...

Haha Santi and I enjoying the senic route.

Myself with Santi, Gabby (middle) and Shay (right).

Haha it looks like Gabby is creeping up on me.

Good times.

Blood!

Is what I donated today. Woo whoo!
..they ask you the weirdest questions before you can give blood..
well it only took 6 minutes to get a pint outta me, yet I still had to entertain myself somehow... so here are some pictures of my experience:

The draining process...

the beautiful view that I had..
