Making MasksMaking MasksMaking Masks

Pooja and Caitlin decorating their masks
I just got an email from my good friend Pooja saying that she arrived and got semi-settled in in Montpellier. She missed one (or maybe two) of her connecting flights and had to be rescheduled! Stressful! But I'm SO happy to hear she's there safely. Tomorrow she's moving in with her host mom!!!

Last weekend our friends threw us the best going away party everrr. We're big into parties with themes, so this was the Masquerade/Mardi Gras party of the year! We had a chicken dish, a salad, crescent rolls, a green bean casserole (French cut green beans...I told you we're loyal to the theme!), and of course sparkling grape juice "champagne" Then, as a craft project, we all made masks and took a bunch of silly pictures with them. Then for dessert we had petits gâteaux des roi...cupcakes, one of which had a Swedish fish baked inside. Sharon got that one, and was crowned Queen of the party. Ann and Caitlin lovingly tried to make mousse au chocolat, but when we found out about the raw eggs, that idea fell a bit flat. Maybe next time haha! Finally we all watched L'Auberge Espagnole. It was a fantastic evening with my best friends,
Jumping!Jumping!Jumping!

We tried so hard to get an in-the-air picture of us with our masks...
and a perfect sendoff! It reminded me a lot of our High School Musical party, which was the last big theme night we've had together. A really fun and dorky night!
