I'd like to welcome you to my beautiful house

The graduate and his SV placard! <3 <3 <3

I love my house :') We put up a flag that's half UofM and half OSU that says "A House Divided." I want to add an action W and write "A House Tri-vided" ;]

The lovely centerpieces! Some hand me down cat toys and bubble gum yum yums

Some quick hi-tech modifications and our corn hole set becomes OSU friendly!

Tada, that's the backyard. 7 tables and 49 chairs.

My family made me in charge of decorations and signage. This was a great idea. 

WE HAD AN ICE CREAM MACHINE! SO YUM

As with all good Christman parties, the night devolved into a drum circle by the end of it.

Not gonna lie, they sounded pretty good!

I may have been a bit biased ;]

The party was so much fun. I got to see so many people who I haven't seen in ages- my neighbors, parent's friends, curling people, Sam's friends, so many people! I heard a gillion comments about my hair and gave even more compliments to UW-M. My dad had a little fireworks show for Sam's bday/graduation/America Day. The best part was Kiley coming over a staying for 8 hours of craziness with me. After the drum circle, Sam and his friends starting dancing to Glee so we fled to the basement. Crego came over around midnight and we watched Dead Poets Society, one of my all time favorites, because it was lying on the basement table. We laughed, we cried, it wasn't our fault. 

As die-hard Buckeye fans, these two have waiting farrrrrr too long for this moment.

The leftovers my mom sent the Cregos with!

Great party, family, from start to finish.
