The Christmas Countdown

Carrots and ranch dressing. Mozzarella sticks. SNL. Taylor Lautner. Ice Cream. "Friends"season 1-10. The Pancake House. All of these random items can only mean one thing. Yup- Maddison has officially returned from her trip to India. And of course, leave it to us to have a sleepover party in the midst of her jet-lag. So, it wasn't the most lively get-together we've ever had (we went to bed at, like, 11:30. Are we party animals, or what!?!), but it was quite the fun time. We talked a little about the trip- the next time you see her, ask her all about it! You won't be disappointed! Also, we watched some good episodes of Friends. Man, I have missed my Friends. And of course it was all topped off with a trip to the Pancake House in the morning. We were the only teenagers in there, which made us all laugh at what the rest of people our age are missing. I mean, cheap delicious pancakes= happiness. But anyway, it was a reunion for the books. Welcome Home Maddison!

...On another note, ITS CHRISTMAS EVE. And it is simply magical at the Hilton house. Jack is so excited he's about to bust. And Polly and I have just spent an hour making the most fantastic gingerbread house of all time. The Grinch is playing on tv, and my mom is out scrambling to get presents. Yes, Friends, this is Christmas. And then at 5:00 we have our service at Elevation. To be honest, I'm more excited about that than tomorrow...We have a ton of family coming in, and there is bound to be some amazing food. Ah, the holiday season. It truly is, "The most wonderful time of the year!"
