beginning of Christmas season

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. I enjoyed watching the Macy's Parade in the morning. A married couple and Andrew came for dinner. The meal was delicious, as usual, especially the sweet potatoes.
Today my family went to a Christmas tree farm and picked out a tree. Then we decorated it when we got home. It was fun! :) Here are some pictures.

We saw a "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. :)

The Christmas season has officially begun in our house. I love this time of year. :)

school

Scrooge is really coming together. We started practicing in the auditorium, so it feels more official now. Just 3 weeks left until opening performance! :)

School has gotten harder, 'cause I'm learning the names of muscles and the places they attatch to the bones. I haven't been studying as much as I should. I've been using my free time to relax and watch Lost. I need to get serious about school.

Pictures from school:








Oh, I start clinics next Friday (Dec. 2). Basically, anyone can come to the school and pay $25 to get a full-body Swedish massage from a student. I'm nervous and excited. Hopefully I'll do well.
