Theater Thursday

Welcome to Theater Thursday! Here at Crazy Shenanigans Thursday is movie day! I watch a movie that's currently avaliable to watch on dvd, netflix, amazon, etc then I review it and post about it. It's fun and you can even join in. Have a movie that you that you've seen and think others should see it too? Great! Write a grab my Theater Thursday button, write a blog post and then come back here and link up! It's always a fun read! Plus someone might be looking for something to watch!

This week's featured movie is, Love Wrecked.

Can you believe I had never seen this movie till this past weekend? I know right! It's got Amanda Bynes starring as Jenny, a Conneticut girl who's working for the summer in St. Lucia at a resort. She's also got her best friend with her, Ryan (Jonathan Bennett) to work along side. What she doesn't know is that Ryan has a major crush on her and has for awhile. She's just been too busy to notice because she's been obsessed with a world famous, rock star named, Jason Masters (Chris Carmack). 

While working at the resort, Jenny gets the surprise of her life when Jason stops over for a night at the resort. She's on cloud 9 and can't wait to try to talk to him. She even sneaks onto a night cruise just to try to meet him. Then the weather starts getting rough and Jason is knocked into the water and Jenny jumps in trying to save him. However, the boat gets further away from them and they wash up on a desert island stranded. 

Or are they? 

The first day Jenny realizes that they are on the same island as the resort but on the other side. She decides to keep this to herself to try and spend time with Jason. Meanwhile the entire world is looking for them and Ryan is devastated thinking that something has happened to Jenny and he never got the chance to tell her how he really felt. 

If you've never seen this movie, watch it! If it you really liked She's the Man this movie is really similar to it and just as funny. Check it out! 

Christmas Day in West Virginia

Christmas morning we woke up to tons of presents from Santa! I don't know about your households but Santa still makes a stop at our house. I got some really great gifts this year. Thanks Santa (Mom)! My mom also got a gift from Santa... An Origami Owl necklace!

I got dressed and wore my new winter tights for the occasion...

The last couple of years my family has been doing a Christmas breakfast. We all gather bright and early at my grandmother's house, eat a huge breakfast, exchange and open presents. It's always a lot of fun and definitely filling. We also take our famous family couch photo during this time. This year was no different.

I can't believe how big baby Olivia is getting! I mean granted she's now one year old but still! She's walking and kinda talking! She also gives a good blue steel look too!

In addition to getting real gifts, a few of my family members also give each other kinda like white elephant/gag gifts. This year my uncle Kenneth got the best gift. It's a book called, I Could Pee On This. Why was this the best gift? Oh because he hates cats. Plus it's an entire book of poetry written from a cats perspective. HILARIOUS! He started reading some of them out loud and all of us were dying laughing. Here's an excerpt from one...

I Could Pee On This

Her new sweater doesn't smell of me
I could pee on that                               
She's gone out for the day and
                           left her laptop on the counter
I could pee on that                     
Her new boyfriend just pushed
my head away
I could pee on him                     
She's ignoring me ignoring her
I could pee everywhere             
She's making up for it                
                   by putting me on her lap
I could pee on this                     
I could pee on this                     

Pure genius! I mean who would think up something like this and then actually sell it! Like it's an actual book you can buy on Amazon! It definitely made us laugh Christmas morning.

Once we were done eating breakfast and exchanging gifts, my mom and I went back to the house to spend time with Shayne and Josh. Plus we had a ham to get ready for a Christmas dinner for the four of us. This is what Christmas day looked like...

The rest of the day was spent watching Christmas movies, getting the food ready and enjoying our new gifts. Sadly, Josh came down with a major stomach bug that day and couldn't enjoy any of the food. He was able to eat leftovers the next day though. Poor guy! He's much better now. 

I was so happy to be able to go home and spend time with my family for the holidays. I missed them before I got there but now that I'm back in California, I miss them even more. I don't know what this year will hold for me but I'm glad I was able to ring in the new year with them in West Virginia.

Christmas Eve in West Virginia

Let the holiday recaps begin! If you follow me on instagram, twitter or facebook then you know that I was able to go home for the holidays!

My journey home began with a red eye on Saturday, December 22nd. I didn't get home until the afternoon of the 23rd but hey... that's what red eyes are all about. Once I landed it was time to wrap all of those Christmas gifts I had been getting shipped to WV for three months. 60 presents later and only one causality.

 

Once the wrapping was finally finished we were able to relax and watch some of our favorite holiday movies. The jet lag started to set in and I passed out. I woke up on Christmas Eve and started the day off right with a Santa pancake.

Plus Santa had to go out and get one last present for Josh's son....

 

 

Every year I set up my grandma's Christmas tree for her and this year was no different. Since I was coming into town so close to Christmas, I figured she would set it up early but she totally waited for me! I made my way up to her house and got it all set up! 

 

opened presents I headed back to spend Christmas eve with my mom. We took ugly Christmas sweater photos...

We went and looked at Christmas lights...

And then we opened up our one present. It's a tradition that we exchange one gift on Christmas eve and then get ready for Santa to visit. Well don't worry too much guys... I was a good girl this year and Santa brought me presents!!
