Grown up Christmas

You can tell you are all grown up when you get a vacuum for Christmas and it couldn't get any better than that!!!!! I got a purple Dyson vacuum and I love it more than anything else!!! Not only is it so pretty but its amazing to vacuum with and all the dirt and crap it picks up... OH MY GOODNESS!!! Its actually entertainment for me to empty the canaster and see what it picked up!!! If you don't own a Dyson I would start saving for one!!! I also got other great stuff like sewing sissors, sewing needles, a purple North Face vest, socks, treats, GLEE season 1, a cd from Ryan, shampoo and conditioner and a costco gift card. Christmas was a blast and I enjoyed everything I got!!! Thanks Mom and Dad and Siblings!!! Oh and the best part of Christmas was that we got to talk to BO!!!!!!!! I only got 5 minutes but it was a great 5 minutes!!!

*also thanks to everyone else for a great Christmas... including Grandma and Grandpa Palmer and Grandma and Grandpa Evans

Merry Christmas...

Glad I don't have a Chimney on my apartment :) ha ha...

Thanksgiving in Cabo

Every year we take a big family trip with the Palmer side. It is such a blast because we all get along so well... This year was to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico... The weather was perfect... the water was refreshing and the all inclusive drinks and food weren't good for me :) ha ha!! But I lived it up and enjoyed every moment of it. While there we did a zip line tour where there were 8 different zip lines one being as long as 1/2 mile long!!! It was amazing... We also took a boat ride over to Los Archos, the famous arch and saw sea lions, went snorkling and played in the waves. This trip was beyond a blast and the best way to spend Thanksgiving!!!!

My favorite family pictures... So funny!!!
