Weekend!

It's so nice to be able to go home for the weekend. I get to see the best people in the world (my family!) and I get a chance to relax (but not really). Friday afternoon my mom came down and picked me up. Everyone knew that I was coming home except for my sister. We were going to have a surprise sixteenth birthday party for her, and I was going to be part of the surprise. There were many issues that came up, such as Allison not going to school on Friday. Somehow we managed to still keep it a secret. My dad took her out of the house around 6:30 and we had about 30 minutes once we got home to get the whole party started. Our house was crazy! Fortunately, Alli has great friends and they helped us out enormously! When she came back to the house, she was surprised to see everyone, including me. The house got really loud, and that's about the time I hid elsewhere. Don't worry! I came back for the cake and presents :)

Saturday Alli had a show choir competition in Churubsco. My grandparents came down so that they could see her perform. She did a great job, even though they did not make it to the night show. After that, we went to lunch. I got my haircut on Saturday...finally! I had gone since Thanksgiving, and let me tell you, I was a mess! Just in case there wasn't enough going on Saturday, we also went to my brother's basketball game. He is such a cute basketball player and he is really improving. My mom, sister and I left at halftime to go back to Churubusco. One of the girls that I work with was performing, so we went to watch her. We also did not know if Alli had to be there for the night show or not, so we stayed for the awards ceremony.

Sunday I went to church, and then it was time to head back to school. Wooo! What a weekend!

My grandma gave my cat this blanket...he is so spoiled!
