Celebrations & Consumerism

'Ello! We have not blogged for quite a while so we're going to catch you up on the fabulous lives of Chris and Christine! So last week was Thanksgiving (yay for a short school week!) which also meant Black Friday/UC&USC APPS.

For my Thanksgiving my uncle and aunt and LITTLE REALLY CUTE COUSIN (who's REALLY smart) came over! We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey and homemade mashed potatoes and STUFFING (YUMMMMY Daniel ;)) & the whole shebang. It was very yummmmy. We didn't really do much, although we did watch Jeopardy! (as is our family's custom during these annual get-togethers).

For Chris's Thanksgiving, he went to his aunt's house and got together with these 4 other families, and altogether they had 7 boys (including them) and 2 girls. They played Super Smash Brothers (which Chris and Ryan dominated, of course) & watched Aliens in the Attic (with Ashley Tisdale! who is quite pretty according to Chris. Although Sharpay's character has completely ruined his mental image of her) which was not very good..but its okay! They also watched Mythbusters! And learned how to use DUCT TAPE! and make a POTATO GUN out of it! He says dinner was quite yummy, although the turkey was kinda dry and his uncle made this AMAZING sticky rice! YUM.

The next day, we went BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING w/ Elaine at Great Mall! This was Chris's first time Black Friday shopping, but it was my third year in a row Black Friday shopping at Great Mall ( =O ). We woke up at 6:30am to go to the mall (remember that time in your head), which is not as intense as those inTENSE people who like go like at midnight, but the mall was packed anyways. So we started walking around the mall, and the first place we saw was the Coach outlet. The sales must have been AMAZING because the line was way out the door and into the empty store next door. We kept walking, stopping occasionally at girly-ish stores like Papaya and Forever 21 (which Chris did not appreciate very much. also, Forever 21 has the SHORTEST dresses EVER. which Chris appreciated more I think). & we also saw Britni! But finally we got to Chris's store, HOLLISTER. (also, Chris bought these jeans at PacSun, but they're too tight, so he says if anyone is willing to return them for him he'll be eternally grateful :)). So we shopped around some more, went into all these stores. I didn't buy too much, but Elaine and Chris went a little KUH-RAZY :)

Also throughout Great Mall are all these little kiosks. After passing the traditional hermit crab display (where the lady was shoveling the hermit crabs like there was no tomorrow), we also saw this really cool place with these tshirts that had these lights and stuff that like lit up to music and rhythms! And then we were like...that's like a shirt Will Amoura would have! COOL. We also saw a kiosk selling SNUGGIES for a $25/2 deal..AMAZING RIGHT! But then no one wanted to buy one with me :( poooooopie. (WATCH THIS VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdY7Adc1LRM). Also the mall was FULL of these little booths for people to sign up if you wanted to be a model! and there was even like a RUNWAY in the mall...awkward.

Also! We went to the Verizon store. This was almost the funnest part of the whole day. So we discovered that you can actually send real texts from the phones in the Verizon store, so we decided to have a little funnn. We started sending a certain someone these creeepy texts (ex// ______, I know where you live. _________, I know your middle name.) I think he got kind of scared..but it was so funny! HAHHAHA. Okay the end :) Sorry for scaring you!

So finally it was the end of our shopping adventure. Exhausted, we found a couch at a Starbucks, sat down, and waited for my mommy to come pick us up, which she finally did at 2:30pm (I hope you remember what time we got there. that was like, the LONGEST SHOPPING TRIP EVER.) And then after we dropped off Chris and Elaine, I went shopping again at Target! yay!

Finally, the last things of our weekend, we both turned in our apps for UCs/USC, like many other seniors out there :) We hope you guys all didn't have trouble turning them in & good luckk!

ALSO. Chris is getting the Samsung Rogue this Friday, so if you see his new phone, please compliment it :) Okay the end! Only a few more weeks until break!

Love,
Christine & Chris
