My 23rd Birthday Party! (November 10th)
The star of the night was obviously my hair, tamed for once (mad photo props to Courtney)
AND
Getting mah new car!
Meet Icey!
Yes, that's her name (yes, it's a she). I debated sharing her name on here since everyone hated the name I gave my Corolla, but I am hoping we are giving the gift of only positive comments this Christmas (sidenote: who besides me is shocked it is already December?). 2012 Toyota Rav4 and its 4 Wheel Drive. I can raise the volume of the radio on my steering wheel and the color is Pacific Blue. Also, she syncs my phone via Bluetooth so I can receive calls and play my iPod. That's all there is to it. OH, except that Mama van Ingen rode in it for the first time yesterday and agreed it was very spacious. And that we should take a road trip in it. I politely postponed that until further notice :)
Love, besos, and shellac manicures (except for the boys, unless that is your thing)!

It's been a very eventful year. You can begin next year's list with, "watched the big man score 8 points and pull down 12 rebounds in his 2012-2013 basketball season debut." Keep on listing!
What an exciting year! Made me think about mine. Hmmmm...?? I do have to note one thing as your aunt:in your birthday photo, you look more like your mom than ever. Trust me, that's a wonderfully positive comment! :)
Aunt Cissy
What did you name the Corolla? Icey is a cool name...haha, pun only sort of intended ;-)
And you have a pretty darn good list going! More than mine, for sure.
