Buuut mostly homework. :)
Plus it's been so pathetically unlike Christmas around here, with the sad lack of snow and general Christmas-y-ness that its hard to realize which season we're in. Erica and I finally got our dorm decorated, but it's only a step up from a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and some purple lights. So since none of us even saw the last few weeks as they rushed by, we made a date for Sunday night (last night). We put down our books and stepped away from our computers (so that no one would get hurt), and had a Christmas party!

As for fare, the menu was relatively unimpressive, but delicious nonetheless. Mary's mother sent her a finals week care package that contained, among other things, a peppermint-chocolate-chip scone mix! (Thank you, Momma Cline!) So we made scones and our good friend Poppin' Fresh provided some snowman cookies. There was a wide array of drink choices, and we even had Christmas-coordinating teakettles!

Mary had had lots of sugar Sunday afternoon and was super hyper, but we were all pretty excited to get away from our books and have a party! Mary and I deemed ourselves the welcoming committee and let people in the door. Erica came, and so did our friend Hannah. Then we were joined by Megan's lovely roommates Kelsey and Laticia.
