a BIG surprise

Sorry that we haven't been on much recently, there's just SO much stuff going on, and even more to tell so let's see if we can catch up. Here we go:

On November 24, the day before Thanksgiving break me, Lil, Ella and Vivien went to one of our friends house for a few hours. When we got home we had a GINORMOUS surprise waiting for us. . . the GORNICHECS!! So, Uncle Isaac and Auntie Megan, Ashley (11), Hailee (10), Reese (7), Evan (5) and cute baby Blake (1 and a bit) were there. Over the time that they were there we had seen Tangled, (awesome and cute movie by the way!) went Ice skating and then me, Ashley, Lil and Hailee made a new Bob Jr, made parodies on The Climb by Miley Cyrus*, and Bad Romance by Lady Gaga* and posted them on YouTube! We stayed up late every night (3-4 a.m. the longest and 12-1 a.m. the shortest) We had TONS of fun doing what girls do like makeovers watching movies walking to the bakery alone (me and Ashley did that) talking about stuff. . . Thanksgiving dinner was definitely one of the bests. We had the best turkey (soo moist!), orange rolls which were amazing, stuffing, corn combo, this amazing cranberry sauce (I accidentally put in a little too much cinnamon but I think that was just what it needed), mashed potatoes and amazing gravy, pumpkin pie and ice cream, and we also got to frost (and eat) sugar cookies! It was sooooooooo good! The best part was that we got to do it with our cousins from Nevada that we almost never get to see!!! How was your Thanksgiving? Another thing we got to do was go to Sacrament Meeting at this one church that my Uncle Isaac served his mission by. It is HUGE! And beautiful too, there's this big dome at the top of it and amazing paintings and designs on the walls. This church was really cool.

School's the same. Homework, drama, more homework and then more drama. On Friday, apparently too many people were going home sick or had called in sick. They were thinking the Nora Virus (which is sort of like the flu, usually milder.) Which has been going around quite a bit lately. So, they let us out early, just at 1:30, but still! Early is early! YAY! The valley after this mountain is that we will probably have school Monday, which is tomorrow. Darn.

Well, now that Thanksgiving is over, it's CHRISTMAS TIME!!! When you comment, let us know some things that you want for Christmas, what you want to do for Christmas or what your favorite part about Christmas is. (Or all three!) Adios!

P.S. Did I mention that the Gornichecs are our cousins? (And Aunt and Uncle.)
