Winter Wonderland!

As most everyone knows it snowed here recently! I was really excited to have snow so early, and my first semester at Sam! My family in Houston got some snow, but in Huntsville it snowed quite a bit! I have to admit it was the most snow that I've ever seen, yes I know very sad!!! Anyways, Savannah and I had so much fun playing outside!

At first when it was still light outside it was sleeting, and we thought that was snow, yes we are from Houston where it NEVER snows! HA! Then I went to class and it began to snow just a little bit, luckily my teacher let us out early, and when I was walking home it really started to come down!! When I got home I hurried and made Savannah come out with me so that the fun could begin! We walked all around campus and it was so pretty! Our campus is usually dead but so many people were outside and it was so fun! We wish it would snow a lot so that people would be happy all the time! :) Then we got some hot chocolate and continued to walk around, we were going to go up onto of the parking garage but then these guys started throwing snowballs at us and it did not make us very happy! So then we went back home and defrosted for a while! Our neighbors came and knocked on our door and told us it was snowing even harder so we went and built snowmen and had a snowball fight and just talked with our neighbors! The snow really piled up and it was covering the grass almost completely! The grand finale of the night was when we got a cardboard box and started sledding down the hills, that was SO much fun!

This was a great addition to our fun filled semester! I'm really sad that this semester is over, but I have to say it was one of the best experiences in my life so far! Savannah is not going to be my roommate next semester because she has to go student teach(I'm not bitter I promise!!!) but I can only hope and pray that next semester will be half as much fun as this semester was!!!

Gingerbread Fun!

So, I've never made a gingerbread house so Savannah and I decided why not buy one!!! We found one at Walmart for only 10 dollars! So we came home put some Christmas music on and got creative!!! It's a lot harder than you would think to make it look pretty, so I went for the just snowed look on my side, Savannah was a bit more creative on her side! Yes we split it into sides and then surprised each other when we were finished!!! So now we have a really cute gingerbread house on our counter(half eaten though), even the maintenance guy was impressed with out abilities :)!! I think I'm going to build gingerbread houses from now on!
