December was so much fun! I started the month off with a fun picnic. Later in the month, I got my hair done and participated in a ball. Lastly, I finished the month off spending Christmas with my friend.
Picnic
Early this month, my friend took me on a picnic. We grabbed some pizza from my favorite pizza place, then found a quiet spot at the park where we could watch the river. We talked, and she taught me how to play a card game named Speed. She also made me a flower bouquet with a cute note! After that, we walked by the river and got some ice cream from this really cute shop. Afterwards, we went to her house and decorated her Christmas tree.
Cotillion Ball
As mentioned in the previous blog post, I was invited to participate in a cotillion ball. To be more specific, it was the Jack and Jill Beautillion Ball. My friend Josh invited me o be his belle, and his sister did my hair. The day of the ball was long and draining, but ultimately I had a lot of fun! After being walked in by my marshal, I was able to watch all the beaux be walked in by their mothers and introduced. After, the beaux danced with their moms, then the belles. Afterwards, dinner was served. The food was delicious and the venue was beautiful. I was very tired at the end, but the experience was worth it.
Christmas
I started off the Christmas season by attempting to bake. I've never baked anything before, and I barely cook, but I've been working on getting myself in the kitchen more. I wanted to try making chocolate chip cookies, and they didn't turn out amazing, but they were edible and not horrible for my first time. A few days later, I did cookie decorating with my friend at the library. I also went to her house for Christmas, but before that, I made her gifts! I started off with a card, then made us matching bracelets. I also made her ornaments for her tree, and a snowflake cloud. She ordered a jacket a while ago that never came, so I bought her that, as well as some Dr. Pepper. She got me a lot of Hello Kitty self-care items, which I did not get pictures of, but will be enjoying very much. We also spent New Years together and popped fireworks.
Conclusion
I'm very satisfied with the last month of the year. It was one of my better Christmases, as I don't have any traditions at home. I also got to participate in a ball, which many people don't get to do. I'm excited for the new year, and completing my plans for January.
