5. Going home for Christmas!

6. Going back home in January for a Momma birthday celebration!

Prepare yourself.

This is the day I met the best slide ever. I was having a Charlie Brown dress up day (hence the blue beanie).




At a teacher training in Clarkdale (the cutest small town ever), Heather, Em, and I found the best slide. IN. THE. WORLD.




I seriously rode on it 100 times.



Even face first!









I think Em liked the slide too.




But not as much as me. All I can think about is going down this slide. Next weekend!!!

I love fall.

party!

Last night, ten of us went to the Veronese Cafe in Fullerton to celebrate Shannon's 21st birthday, two weeks early! We had tea, dessert and fruit and cheese.

The atmosphere in the outside garden is so lovely and eclectic. We sat by a wood burning stove and a fountain!

Here is Shannon's mom, Shelley. She was so fun!





Shannon had some friends from high school there. Lindsey wrote this sweet message on her present:





Sweet Denise! I think she is the most photogenic person I know. Lovely!




After the party, Hollie, Shannon, and I came home with our friend Rachel and had an inpromptu photoshoot!!!

I'm not sure about this one, but I think it should be our apartment Christmas card.

What do you think?




Hollie, the business woman:





Rachel, the diva






Whoops! Back to the party, Shann got some AMAZING presents, like bird plates, owl salt and pepper shakers, and love slug art from Ann Francis.




And Blythe gave her a boot pencil holder. Clearly, Shannon loves it.





Shan, your party was fabulous and I am so glad we are friends and roommates!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING, folks!
