Holiday party

(Me and Allison) (Me and Lauren)

Tonight it was Christmas Eve! Which called for our annual Christmas/ holiday party. My friend lauren came out from the valley, and most of my family came over. Even though it was christmas most of the people were Jewish :) We had salad, pasta, meatballs and tons of deserts. Then we had glugg, which is a swedish alchohol drink that for the first time i tasted(see picture above). It made the room spin for about 10 minutes and made me all giggly with lauren.

I got a blue ipod nano. It plays all my songs, and makes me so happy. I also got a Wicked sweatshirt and ornament from my aunt and uncle. From my cousin and family i got giraffe earrings(be jealous) and from my grandma i got Mary Poppins tickets and a pink snuggie!!

Today i saw Mary Poppins. It was my Hannukah gift from my bawbbi. It was AMAZING!!! I loved every minute of it.

Hannukah!

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah! My grandma is in town and was supposed to go to her family friends Bar Mitvah, but my mom got sick, so we stayed at home all day and watched musicals.

HAPPY HANUKKAH!!!

P.S. I'm sorry i have not blogged in a while, i'm in the process of finals, and its STRESSFUL.

Swedish Fair

Today I went to the Swedish Christmas fair in downtown la. My dad is swedish and his grandparents came here from Sweden. On the 13th of December St. Lucia comes and welcomes christmas, by wearing candles on her head(see above picture). The doll is from American Girls Kristen, she is from sweden and when i was younger i had a dress just like hers. At the fair they had lots of goods from Sweden and then they had a st. Lucia crowning(its a big deal) where one girl is THE st. Lucia and little girls go behind her. The Crowned girl happens to go to Santa Monica college and also wants to be a teacher.

Happy 21st birthday!!

Today it is Lauren's Birthday.

She is 21 years old(yes she is older than me)

I met her freshman year at CSUN and we have helped each other through countless problems.

Lauren loves One tree Hill, Wicked, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight series, and hanging out with friends. Lauren was a girl scout and received her girl scout gold award(like me)

She wants to be a pre-school teacher, and we worked together at Sleep-away camp.

She is the oldest of 3 and loves purple.

Happy birthday Lo! Hope it was amazing!
