I have so many!!! Man.... here goes....

• Kisses from my little sisters
• The most amazing parents on earth
• Pictures of people I love

Here is just a few. I love this time of the year so much because it always reminds me of how much I truly have. Happy Holidays!

Preference

Last Saturday I went to Preference with my friend Jake. We had an amazing dinner followed by a really fun dance. It was a blast!! Even though I don't have any pictures of the two of us, here are some pictures of me :) Thanks to Katie for the amazing hair do and to Lauren for the fabulous dress!!

Grades!

I got a 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty much... I AM SO HAPPY!!!
p.s. ignore freaky picture :)

The Halloween Party!

The Cordner Halloween Party is an event that I have long awaited. You see, one finally qualifies to go when they turn 16 years old and are able to take a date. I asked my friend Hoyt to be my date. This year it was a murder mystery party and so we were all assigned specific characters that we were supposed to dress up as. I was a maid named Ima Gudsweeper and Hoyt was a police officer named Chief Clint Callahan. We had a fabulous 4-course dinner and played lots of fun games in between. No, neither of us were the murderers (phew!) but we did find out at the end of the night that I was a ghost :) Here are some pictures of us....

This is us during one of the courses of dinner.
(P.S. the girl next to me is Jessica, Ammons date.)

This is me and Hoyt. You can't really tell what he looks like through the fake mustache, but he is quite handsome ;)

It was probably one of the funnest dates I have ever been on. I had a blast!!

p.s. I missed you Shelley! We were thinkin about ya! Love you

End of Term Scramble

This week is the end of the term a.k.a. student torture week. I have already had one test and I have four more before Friday at 2:15 p.m. No offense to any teachers out there, but what the heck are they thinking?? I think they should try to not pile every final for the last 4 days of the term :) Every student in the school, including myself, is just pushing through these next few days praying that their grades will not be totally busted haha. I am really looking forward to a fun Friday night though. I have our Cordner family adult Halloween party and since I am sixteen I now qualify to take a date. It is going to be so much fun and I am really excited since I have the best date EVER, hee hee. Anyway, this is kind of a lame blog but I just had to vent a little bit. More exciting ones to come!!

A Midnight Spa

A little while ago my parents went out to shop for Tanner's birthday. As a result, Tanner and I got to take care of the little girls while they were away. We wanted to do something special for them to make the night extra fun! I, being a girl, love to dress and primp the girls as much as they will let me, so I suggested the idea of surprising them with a 'spa'. Tanner was not very thrilled. But I am very convincing :) , and eventually talked him into it. We had decided this privately, so the girls were anxious to find out what we would be doing. While Tanner started setting up pillows, I took the girls and got their pajamas and robes on, so that they would be as comfortable as possible. We secretly got all of the supplies and then took them to the spa. This is how it turned out:

This is them at the beginning. (Don't you love the cucumbers??!) As you can see, Quinci was laughing so hard that the cucumbers were coming off.

Here is a close up.... Britta was in absolute heaven. We were hers to command and she knew it!!

We even put cotton balls in between their toes!!

Here is Tanner rubbing Quinci's arms with lotion.

It was really fun!! We painted their toenails and rubbed them with lotion and even played nice music in the background.

I love my sisters so much!! I am so grateful for the examples they are to me every day. I love their kisses and hugs. They are both growing up so fast and it is so fun to watch and see how they are becoming beautiful young girls!! I hope they had as good a night as I did.
P.S. Thanks to Tanner for being such a good sport during a "girls night!" I love you Tan!
