Chargers VS Chiefs 2010

I got a ticket to go to another Chargers game, hoping this time to not be defeated. The stadium was hoping for a win too.
Looking good!!! TOUCHDOWN!!! Chargers: 20 Chiefs, uh, 0.

Best part: Philip Rivers butt!!!

What a nice tight end. I mean "quarterback."

Action shot coming up:

That led to a TOUCHDOWN!!! CHARGERS!!!!

Besides Rivers, uh, quarterback, I simply LOOOOVVVVEEEE watching him talk smack. He is so good at it!

School Christmas Party

This year, our class, AKA Cohort 9.0, decided to have a Christmas party to finally get to know each other! Despite the rain, 6 of us made it up to Carlsbad to Tracee's house, where caroling and white-elephant-gifting had us in an uproar.

These little robot dancers were the favorite toy out of all of the gifts!

So Merry Christmas, from a few of the Class of 2012 (hopefully!) Cohort 9.0 of PLNU!

Below, video of our rockin' robot dancers! Enjoy!

Parents visit (Thanksgiving, part 2)

Had to get some calamari before heading out for a hike, of course.
Dad, well, I don't remember what he had...

Mom loves her new camera. Click, click, click!

And then off to Torrey Pines for a hike! 32 years I have lived here, and never went up to the reserve. Go figure.

Georgous cliffs!

I love this shot of my momma.

She looks so dainty compared to the majestic strength of the cliffs.

(I meant to post this on my parents' Anniversary. I guess it's the thought that counts though, right?)

Happy delayed 34th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Fun and games

My parents came to town. 1st night: Quelf! For those of you who have never heard of it, it is a boardgame. Above are 3 of the characters. Mom was "Mrs. Picklefeather", Dad was The platypus. I was the bat guy.
Hensley looked on with his eyes glowing as my father and mother and I followed the directions. 1 card made dad talk with a "-izll" at the end of every sentence when it wasn't his turn. Another one required holding a pencil over another's head and proclaiming "Oh look! Mistletoe!" and then kissing them.

Dad drew a card that required him to talk with his cheeks pinched in, knees "glued" together, arms flailing and to try to explain how he got himself covered in molasses and brown sugar. In rap form.

You can see they were pleased. Believe it or not, we had a great time. I will spare them by not posting the video of mom doing ballet. Or dad doing the can-can. You are welcome!

About to bloom!

I had planted some paperwhites as bulbs a few months ago, and wasn't sure if they would actually do anything. But here they are, almost 2 feet tall, ready to pop!

It's the little things in life that bring me joy! (side note; in the bottom right side of this picture is a picture of my parents at their engagement party sooooo many years ago. So cute!)

Thanksgiving Part 2

The second Thanksgiving was chicken with a cranberry/raspberry/cherry demi-glaze, mashed sweet potatoes, carrots, and rolls. I also made a gravy, but we won't discuss that as it ended up tasting worse than wallpaper paste. And I even like poi!

Grandma baked a lemon meringue pie, which was scrumptious!!!

Dad carved the chicken, which was nice and juicy.

I was very, very happy at how it turned out! Beautiful and delicious!

Behold, the Spriggs Family!

Lots and lots to be thankful for, if I do say so myself!
