Merry Christmas

"It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags." Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before, "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas," he thought, "means a little bit more."

in which someone gets engaged

This past Saturday (December 18), Anna and I drove up to Skaneateles. It was really pretty with all of the shops and snow and such, but we weren't there for the sights. We were on a secret mission... We scouted out a few locations, then hid in Talbots while we waited.

And then, we saw them. Jordan and Sarah walking along the sidewalk heading towards the pier. The sign said that it was closed, but I mean really, who reads signs nowadays? They're mostly guidlines anyway. ;) The short of it is, Jordan asked my sister to marry him at the end of the pier by the Christmas tree, and she said yes.

Anna and I ran out there to take pictures. We celebrated with hot coffee and chocolate, then took a few more pics in the gazeebo, then went out to dinner for more celebration.
Congrats YaYa and Chewy!!! I love you guys.

I (heart) Mr. Grinch

I have always loved the Grinch...the cartoon, the Jim Carrey movie, the book, and the song. Or songs actually, the New Song one and the original. Three years ago my friend Natalie, Anna, and I made this video, and it makes me laugh uncontrollably each time I watch it.

Welcome to Whoville

Last year Anna and I dressed up like Whos (see here) for our last day of history class. This year we recruited some help and this was the outcome: This should really become a tradition.

in which we sing a song

Mom, Anna and I were in a Christmas Cantata this year, and me and the mooches had a duet for the song "Offering". Which is technically a worship song, but it worked. Amazingly we didn't forget all our words, go off-key, or fall off the stage. Successful I would say.

I am so ready for Christmas now (oh wait, I already was) :D
