We made a gingerbread house from scratch. We made the dough and the frosting, cut out the shapes, baked it, built it, and decorated. Its a much longer process than we imagined. We had some problems with a roof falling off, and we were set back a bit when dad ate a cat (Tux) and three logs but by the end most of us were master gingersmiths. Our flavorful creation was a source of pride that by now is mostly digested.

Emily was the sculptor of the cats.

Look! It's a baby!

We got this picture at the ultrasound yesterday. The doctor said he is still looking like a boy! Look at his cheeks! They estimated his weight to be 5 lbs 11 ounces as of yesterday.

Found Denim Internship!

My internship is super fun. I run errands all around downtown L.A. and do other random stuff like cut strings off of newly sewn jeans. The designers are two cute girls who look to be in their mid 20's, they are very nice.

On Tuesday I got two free pairs of jeans! I was running errands with one of the designers, Sara, and while she was eating some food at a cute little downtown cafe she says, "You should take some jeans today." So I said, "ok!" ..and I did. They retail around $200 bucks each. Yay!

Here are some pictures similar to the jeans I got:

Emily this post is for you!

There is a girl in Hollywood starting a business (I think she makes headbands or something). She is looking for an intern. I am not sure if she has one already, but you should e-mail her if your interested. Here is a link to her blog. Anyways, just thought I would tell you! hehe.

Sarah is the best!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!!!!!

(I meant to put this up yesterday....but then I fell asleep. Oops!)

Sarah, I am so so so glad you are my sister! You have always been a good a good example to me. You are super motivated to do what is right, you have a genuine helping and loving personality, you are very talented with anything you try (piano, singing, dancing, running, skateboarding, many more), and I can always count on you for an adventure! I love how you always want to go outside with me whether its riding bikes, climbing trees, playing badminton, or jumping on the trampoline. It is nice to have someone around that shares the same love for the outdoors and being active. I wish I could have been near on your birthday! One of these days I will be close and I can come visit on your birthday. Yipeeeeee! Have a happy happy birthday week, and remember that I, along with your friends and family, are super glad you are alive! You make the world a happier place. I love you Sarah!
Love, Anna
