The end is in sight..

Whoa whoa whoa guys, calm down. I didn't mean the end of this blog is in sight, and I surely didn't mean the end of the k3y three's friendship is in sight! (that would be the most awful/inconceivable idea in the world) ...I was referring to 

the end of the semester!!

Yup. It's almost over! And let me assure you, it couldn't come soon enough. The three of us have been hard at work for the past few months, and all of the homework and tests and studying and tests and quizzes and studying and homework we've been doing has seriously cut into our bestie time! Which is no bueno. We've had to get by squeezing in time for each other with phone calls and texts, and occasional quick trips to McD's! And finals week is bound to make matters worse. :(

*As a side note I would like to mention how proud of am of Hannah and Jenna for working so hard this semester to get good grades! They're both so smart!! :)

So obviously we're pretty psyched for a little break full of friendship and holiday cheer before we hit the books again in January! Here's what you'll most likely find us doing to celebrate our time off:

•  Christmas Shopping

We love shopping, but we're poor working college students.. so it doesn't happen as often as we'd like. However, during the holidays we can't resist spending money on each other. Who doesn't love buying gifts for their best friends?! ...I've had lists made of what I want to buy friends and family since August. No joke.

• Christmas Crafts

These besties love to craft, but mostly we love to CHRISTMAS craft! Hannah's house is supply central, because her mom has gone a little craft crazy this season...no complaints here! :) We've already made some cute ornaments to hang on our trees, and who knows what we'll come up with next. We have weeks left to get creative!

• Ice Skating

Okay, so I have to admit... Ice skating is not exactly my favorite holiday activity...I don't care for it at all actually. But this year my best friends want to go. So of course I wont hesitate for a second to put on my mittens, strap on some skates, and hold their hands around the rink! As long as I get some cocoa after I'll be fine. 

• Christmas Service

We've wanted to do some sort of charitable act for years, so hopefully this is the year that we'll find some sort of service we can do! (if anyone has any ideas let us know!)

• Snuggling

If you think this isn't an important pastime, well then I feel sorry for you because your best friends are dumb. So maybe you don't have to be fully embracing to enjoy each others company..but it's nice just be able to spend time with my besties without stressing over what projects or homework we need to get done! We're not the kind of girls that need to be entertained at all times, that's for sure. We are fully content popping in a dvd and laying on the couch together. (if these situations lead to a slumber party..so be it)

last, but not least...

• Our Annual Girls Christmas Party!

 Every year our group of girl friends gets together for a Christmas party/dinner. We usually have it at Hannah's house. Let me tell you, this isn't just a thrown together night of festivities. It takes weeks of planning and preparation! We draw names for a gift exchange, we assign each girl food items to bring, and we plan games and activities to play after dinner. We love to dress up and turn it into a nice, cell phone free evening. Because we all have different schedules and busy lives, it's so rare that all of us can be together for a night. 

I look forward to this party every year because no matter how long it's been since we have all be together, once we're in each others' company we act the same as we have since 7th grade!

So now you know what the k3y three will be up to this holiday season! Hopefully this post has inspired you to work hard to push through these last 2 weeks of finals, and hopefully you're brainstorming fun Christmas activities to look forward to! We're always looking for more ideas, so let us know what you do with your best friends to bring about holiday cheer!!
