Life Update

Hellllloooooooo out there!

I can't believe it's only 1 week and a day till Thanksgiving!! The year is going by soo fast.  

A few days ago, I went to a friend's birthday party and the theme was Phantom of the Opera!  It was really fun to dress up for!  Since I didn't have a prom dress are anything that fancy, my mom and I used what was in my closet and came up with something!  Here a couple pics:

The mask and gloves were at Michael's, but we glued the flower and feathers on the mask ourselves.

It was fun getting all dressed up! :)

So, what are you guys doing for Thanksgiving?  This year my family is going to have a big feast (as usual), decorate gingerbread houses, play games, and just have a really fun family night.  At dinner we say one (or more) things that we are thankful for about each of our family members!  I, also, LOVE watching the Thanksgiving Parade! 

Do you guys go Black Friday shopping?  My parents usually do for Christmas gifts and such.  This year we are all going as a family.  Somehow we will have to hide our gifts for each other!

I'm thinking about hosting a winter writing or poetry contest!  What do you guys think?

Enjoy!
