Skype

My sister has been sleeping over for the past couple days, while my mom stays in a hotel a few blocks away (they both came to visit me in Boston!). Every night, my sister hogs the internet to Skype with her various guy friends (cute for the first 5 minutes, but now it's just annoying), and sometimes my mom pops on Skype from her hotel room to bother us.

Parents and online chatting = one of my favorite combinations

So much has been happening in the past week, and the craze is still in full swing, so more later...just had to post that, because it's too hilarious.

If You're a (Good) Pianist

Thanksgiving in Pictures

First store we visit. :)

At what's got to be the largest Toys 'R Us in the world...yes, they have a ferris wheel. There was an hour-long wait to ride it.

Thanksgiving dinner, courtesy of Trader Joe's and H's cooking skills! Not pictured: pumpkin pie and beautiful omelets that were devoured so quickly by some very intensely ravenous people that I was unable to get my camera in time.

Opening wine by grinding the cork into bits with a spoon--revolutionary!

Sisters. :)

Black Friday shopping at the world's largest Macy's. Most crowded store I've ever been in, but Victoria's Secret was a close second. What were all the men doing in there? As S proclaimed loudly, "All these husbands and boyfriends just need to go away so we can shop."

Mary Poppins on Broadway. Very cheesy, and the movie is way better, but it was fun.

Cosi Fan Tutte by Mozart, at the Met. Seriously, only opera and opera alone can manage to be so ridiculously funny and incredibly beautiful all at once.
