Triwizard Tournament

My family is awesome. 

We all loooove Harry Potter. 

About 4 years ago I started throwing Harry Potter Extraveganzas to encourage my cousins to read the books. It started out as a trivia competition. They were divided into houses, everyone dressed up, and it was a BLAST. 

Every year since then we have held a "Harry Potter Day"

Its been a lot of fun for me because I see my younger siblings and cousins getting excited about reading Harry Potter. 

This year was the 4th year, so naturally, we had a Triwizard Tournament

It was a little more low key than years past, but it was still a huge success:

Jazzy was sorted into Ravenclaw (The best house):


There was games for each of the tasks, and of coarse, butterbeer.

The winner of the Tournament: 

RAVENCLAW! (Obviously!)

Dear Diary,

A lot has happened since I wrote last. Its been a really great couple of weeks, but I can't believe that November is over. Where did the time go? 

Here are some exciting highlights of the last few weeks: 

First of all, this had me giggling for about 3 minutes straight. 

This was inspirational:

I just love funny people: 

Sooooo found Jef with one f on Tinder.... NBD 

This is how I felt about 3 weeks ago. It was a crazy busy weeks. 

3 tests, 2 large papers and about 102840983 small assignments all due the same week.

There has never been a truer meme:

The little Apple of my eye got married before thanksgiving. I am so happy for her! 

She was the silliest bride ever. Love this girl. 

New life motto: 

Kaylie came to spend a the night last week. 

It was great because we finally are old enough to tell ourselves to go to bed on time

She forgot a blanket, and slept in my Harry Potter snuggie

when she woke up, she exclaimed :

"On no! Did I fall asleep in my robes again?"

And now for the necklace, THIS neckalce. 

When I first saw it my heart sang. 

Spending last Christmas in Costa Rica it didn't really feel like Christmas at all!

It was warm! I didn't have my family! 

So obviously I have to make up for it this year with double the Christmas cheer.

Hense, why I NEEDED this necklace

suuuuure, kinda pricey for a necklace you can only wear one time a year,

but I had DOUBLE the Christmas cheer to make up for.

Brianne, Lauren and Claudia wouldnt let me get it (rude).

But I went back a couple of days later and Kaylie gave me premission. SO THERE. 

School is fine, work is fine, boys are... fine.

Love, Lexi
