Holiday Party

These are some pics of a holiday party me and the Maxine had a couple weeks ago. We kept it pretty simple and laid back since it was the weekend before finals and we knew everyone would probably be studying their butts off the next day. Enjoy the pics!our yummy food spread. haha yes those are tostinos pizza pockets..idunno this is stuff we randomly found in our fridge (it was finals week okay! :P). and that white dip next to the strawberries was probably our friend's fave thing (1/2 a jar of marshmallow whip and a package of cream cheese) SOO amazing with strawberries.. or even a frosting. YUM!

no it does not say make UR an ornament. it says make US an ornament haha. we had all our friends make us a cute little ornament for our small tree because we're too cheap to buy real ones..plus it made for a really cute favor for everyone to take home.

the love of my life. hehe Dree. i made her pose like a reindeer in front of our xmas wall.

it took us around....30 minutes? to figure out how to turn on the fireplace. and when we finally figured it out we turned it off because the room was soo hot.
maxo and i making ornaments!
bestie
kristine and i. her hands are awk here but she still looks cute.
all my friends think this pic is so awk. one of my friends said it reminds him of American Gothic by Grant Wood...=/ but i still think it's cute =).
some boys showing of their ornaments
some of my fave girls <3

maxo and i set up a poker table in our study room for the boys. they seemed to appreciate it =)
we played about 1038430 board games that night. cranium, pictionary, catchphrase, taboo, poker....yeah it was probably the best night ever :)

Dear Santa,

*ssigghh* I love the winterbreak and the holiday season. I've missed Irvine terribly and it's so great to be home and see my family. It's even better when I don't have midterms/homework/finals to study for :). I made a small list accompanied by my crappy collage of some of my xmas wishlist :) (Emphasis on the WISH):



1. Rainboots (Target): If any of you guys live in socal you know how incredibly rainy and freezing it's been this past week! I have this weird habit of wearing flip-flops in the rain (I know I'm asking for pneumonia) because I hate it when I wear shoes and they get soggy and wet--it's seriously the grossest feeling in the world to me I can't explain why. I don't know why I haven't figured out that I need a cute pair of rainboots to solve my soggy-shoe dilema. Waterproof and warm! How perfect =)
2. Mama Mia! Dvd: I just might be the biggest ABBA fan out there. no joke i've been singing "thank you for the music" since I was in diapers. haha anyways this movie is so cute and fun I've seen it a bunch of times already so it seems pretty fitting for this movie to be in my dvd collection.
3. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI: hehe..yeah I'm wishing REAL HARD on this one. I've been looking for a nice camera for a very long time now. I mean, my little digital canon powershot has been very good to me over the past two years..but, it's always nice for a little change ;).
4. Influence by Mary-kate and Ashley Olsen: I've been fawning over this book for a while now at Barnes and Nobles that I've already read most of it. But it would be a really great coffee table book at my house for all my friends to look at.
5. Elizabeth and James Snake Ring: I just love this ring. I'm trying to build up my jewelry collection and I think this pretty little darling will make a very nice addition.
6. Red Monkey Studded Leather Watch (Ronherman.com): Wow. I can't explain to you guys how badly I need this watch. It's just perfect.
7. Fixed Gear Track Bike: I've been wanting a cute little track bike for a little while now. One reason is because I'm probably the least fit person in the world and can barely walk from one side of my school's campus to the other without practically passing out from exhaustion. A bike would be a cute way to get to where I need to be fast (and also save money on gas which is always good).
8. Lace Tights (Topshop.com): I'm in love with tights and leggings, especially in the wintertime. Lace tights are so feminine and interesting and can make a really basic outfit into something oh-so-chic. I need.
9. GHD IV hair straightener (Sephora.com): My hair is strange. It has strange cricks and indents that make my hair frizzy and uggggly. My friend has this hair straightener and she loves it so I would really like to give it a try.
10. Dolce Vita Birdcage Heel (Urbanoutfitters.com): I'm usually too chicken to buy shoes in a non-neutral color. But I have to say these beautiful shoes look like they could match with a lot of things, and not to mention they are AMAZING.
