Thanksgiving!

Now, for the first time ever, I get to celebrate Thanksgiving! Just as I thought it's all about food. Even thought you took the smallest you could imagine of everything, I got so stuffed! Turkey, stuffing, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie (ew) and cherry cheesecake are only a small part of it! After eating so much, Nikki, Patty and got really impulsive, ran into town and bought a playstation two and DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). We danced probably for 5 hours hopefully worked off all that food we had eaten! It was very nice to meet Nikki's half brother David and his fiancée. She's a real nature child, all about organic products, very very little make-up etc. She's realy skinny but eats like a horse. She also rocked at DDR.

Black Friday!

Black Friday is the biggest sales dayof the year in America , and always occur the fiday after Thanksgiving. Nikki, Kayla (Nikki's brother Ryan's girlfriend) and I went up at about 3 o'clock in the morning (remember that we had stayed up for long playing DDR the night before) and we drove to the mall in our Pyjamas's. Some stores opened at 4 o'clock allready. At first we went to JC Penney's. We found cute shoes for Patty fot Christmas. Then, waiting for Kohl's to open, we went to Starbucks. I officially love Starbucks, and it makes me mad that we don't have ANY of those in Sweden. I hade a Peppermint White Chocolate Mocca. Heaven honestly. At Kohl's a found the cutest Vera Wang dress, and had to stand in a line going through the whole store forever before I could buy it. Actually.. Nikki and I sat down :) At TJ Max a found a pink knitted shirt and a black/grey/purple wonderful dress. After our shopping trip we went to Kayla's housefora while before we drove back. At night Brittany came and colored my hair. Kaleb came too ( her boyfriend).

Nikki's Birthday!

For a long long time, me and Patty had planned a surprise birthdayparty for Nikki. Patty felt bad for her since she had to celebrate her birthday at her Grandparents's house last year, so now we were going al out. As most people here know, Nikki is obsessed about Zebra-print stuff. We decided to have Zebra and black/white theme. Everyone were supposed to wear black and white, and in my manipulative manner I was going to get her into wearing hot pink so that she would stand out at her party and be the center of attention. At the day of her birthday she was freaking out and didn't know what to wear, so we went to Rue 21. I, proudly to say it myself, persuaded her into hot pink tank top with gold straps. After that we took her to Applebee's. I was the one who kept track of time, andI got nervous because we had to come to the party atthe exact perfect time, so I had to make sure we got the bill in time, and started driving in time. We told her that we were going to Hastings, but that Tarryn had to stop at the Town Hall to get money from her mom who was at a meeting there. She told Nikki that she should come in too, cuz her mom wanted to say Happy Birthday. When the light ot turned on, Nikki got so surprised that she turned around and walked out before coming in again. The party was really fun. We had hired DJ's, I had invited Nikki's friends Cameron and Tyler from Kansas, she got a Zebraprint cake, and I had made a big poster with facts about Zebras. I was really proud that everything turned out the ay we wanted it, that everyone had fun, and that she actuallyhad no clue about it!

Before Nikki could attend the party for real she had to go out and repark her car; she had parked in a handicapped spot.

The day after, Sunday, the whole family went t Witches bridge to take family pictures bfore David and Allison went home to Colorado. We wore the colors brown and creme.
