Fake Thanksgiving!

This past Sunday, we hosted our very own fake-thanksgiving!  Since we have a huge living room, and friends who were ready for some delicious thanksgiving food, we held a little shindig at 34 Main.  After all was said and done we had about 15 people all gathered in various chairs around our living room, and a great need to unbutton our pants after all of the food we consumed! With everyone bringing more than one dish, we were quite full and satisfied by the end of it!

Overall, it was a huge success, and everyone got very involved in the whole process, bringing lots of food and enjoying the fake-holiday.  I am glad that we had the opportunity to do it and host!

Halloweekend!

For the first time in a while, I actually went out and dressed up for Halloween!  Halloween at college is an interesting experience always, a combination of girls trying to find the most scanty costumes they can and the guys trying to put as little effort in as possible.  For my costume of choice, I went as Velma from Scooby Doo!  Simple, to the point, and for less than $5!!!

They put a lot of effort into their decorations!

We even got FOUR whole tricker-treaters at our door!  Four!  We tried...we turned on the light and everything, but apparently no one wanted to walk down our creepy walkway all the way to our porch...go figure!
