Finals are OVER!!

So finals were this morning. I'm now officially done with school. Whoo-hoo! So my class (being the special needs awesome class that we are)...well, we had fun with it. Why be serious at finals? Honestly?

So there were bubbles involved. And maybe definitely chocolate.

A few of our peeps are missing from these pics...but hopefully I'll get a group photo of all of us at graduation on Saturday. So excited to be done with school!!

School, school, more school...

Honestly. I've had nothing else going on. But finals are in a few days (yay!) and graduation is next Saturday. So excited! Anthony will be here next Friday...he can't come soon enough lol. I realized that I really didn't have many pics from school...or of the awesome friends I've made since I've been here. So I've started lugging my camera with me to clinic when I remember. Here's a few pics from school.

Rosemary and Hannas having a little snack before clinic a few days ago.

Celine - she's my little french friend. In case you wanted to know...

And...from today. A few of my classmates with Shelagh. She tortured us with Anatomy & Physiology for the first three months of school lol...and we love her for it.

My buddy Rosemary

My girls Celine and Jill

And just because I love Jill THAT much.

Not much else going on...headed back to AK in two weeks. Might seem crazy to be happy about leaving Hawaii, but I honestly cant wait. Mostly because I miss Anthony...and the family. But it might also have something to do with hating bugs. Maybe. Probably. 

The Anthony Edition

Because I realized that I somehow didn't get any photos of him in the Christmas post.  

So here he is.

Eating his monkey bread.

And opening his stocking.

 And wearing the awesome jacket that I bought him.

I also got him a necklace. Forgot to take a pic of it...but you can kind of see it in this sad picture here.

...and more pics. Because I rock like that.

Shannon and I have beautiful holiday nails. Read and weep, sisters. I bought her OPI's new James Bond 18K gold fleck nail polish. It rocks.

Sisters :)

and the husband.

We went bowling last night. And on the way out I took a nose-dive on the asphalt. Typical right? But hey! No broken bones this time :) That's always a pleasant change. So I was the cheering section. But if I'd been playing, I would have sent all these ankle-biters home crying to their mammas. :)

I told Ty to do a Tim Tebow...this was his version. I'm pretty sure there were even a few tears involved...

Thing 1 & Thing 2. Probably the baddest bowlers I know of. 

Shannon (aka gutter queen) was happiest when eating chili cheese fries. She doesn't look happy here. But trust me.

I was gonna post pics of my wounds...but I forgot. Oh well.

Christmas Day

So...Christmas morning traditions. Monkey bread anyone? Lol bet you didn't see that one coming...

Opening of the stockings...Bek, it's never the same without you trying to open mine while simultaneously opening yours.

Opening the gift Bek sent to me :)

 Ty's awesome new jersey from Shannon. He was pretty psyched about it.

...and who would't be excited about a kitchen aid??

From Ty's father-in-law

Probably the gift she was most excited about...the earrings she's been wanting :)

...really though. She was REALLY excited.

My gift from Anthony :) Isn't it gorgeous?

"Grandma Friesner" pose lol

Here's the rockin underarmor jacket I got for Ty...it's the Wounded Warrior Project line.

...and the back. Lol you can see his Cowboys jersey right through it.

Shannon in her awesome new Ugg boots, UnderArmor hat and Oakley jacket. She's ready for AK lol.

And of course...Rex and Starla. :)

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

Twas the night before Christmas...

I flew into Honolulu Tuesday night for Christmas break. Anthony flew down from AK and we are having a great time. :) I bought a new camera (yay!) a few days ago so here goes.

We had lunch at Red Lobster on Saturday...so tasty.

Lol it took Shannon a few minutes to figure out how to crack her crab legs...

But when she did...lol...

The wheedle little brother

 My newest sister :)

...and just because.

 Today is our holiday baking day...we've been at it since this morning.

...and so have the guys. Sitting around periodically hollering about how they need cookies. 

Well, better get back to it. Time to start baking the sugar cookies! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Christmas Eve!
