through fall

Pemberley + other ladies gave the ole cinnamon roll + waffle maker thing going around the internet a go.... and we sort of got obsessed with it. If you haven't heard of this and you have the capability to make them, I recommend doing it asap. Basically just put em on (after spraying with non-stick stuff) and cook for a few minutes and then devour. 

Then we had a late night cookie baking sesh to cure Susy of her whiny sads. :p

Molly had a hot chocolate disaster...........

And regular-style orange rolls. Didn't even plan that same angle thing going on ;)

Thanksgiving was pretty dang great. My mom always hosts and all the extended families bring stuff, including their children. (Mom is one of 7 so lots of people and food.) Just missed Donimic who was at dad's a lot.

love my backyard <3

best mashed potatoes in the whole world

We had more hangs with my mom than with friends which was just fine with me because she's one of my best friends too, and we laughed a lot. It's weird growing up, instead of hanging out in someone's basement all break, you end up at a bar that feels more like your hallway in high school and trying not to grimace outwardly. Shout out to Catie for buying me Sprite to deal~

Rosie was really sad when we were getting ready to leave. She wouldn't even play with me. 

Then Catie and I came back for three more weeks of school before winter break. Get sad.

Frank's still hangin tight.

fall this far

Pemberley started out the season with some rearranging of furniture and some new decorations, a bunch of maps from the U.S. Geological Society that Catie got for me for our birthday and are just the coolest. And trusty software detecting the frames accurately.

We made a legitimate meal once.

Best friends Nora and Matt came to visit to see Good Old War / hang for a few days and didn't want to leave.

Then Stephanie and Jenna came to visit us. Catie and I went to meet Steph at the international terminal at O'Hare and lo and behold she didn't fly international.... but then we found her.

I forgot my camera when we went to pick up Jenna (no donuts / shitty coffee / kids running around / double-takes) but soon we ended up back home with One Big Bed.

Then we went to see TBS TAYF tour (taf) and had a blast.

The next day we were joined by Rachel and went to eat pizza.

Dreamy eyes, much? Million miles away in Pizza Land~

Brother Matt came to visit too and then we went to see Titanic at the IMAX on Navy Pier. Died.

FAM 

The next day was Catie's radio show and we had fun.

Then we ate more pizza.

Then Matt left that night. :(

Then Steph left the next morning. :(

Me and Jenna went to Ann Sather for last breakfast.

Then Jenna left too.

I don't want to talk about it because it was one of those too good for words to even start, so.
Susy bought an apple pie.

 I went home this past weekend to shoot for a photo project, and my good friend Jessika came with. It was really great. Like super great. I'm not sure why all of these are so light but whatever. S/o walgreen's.
