In the passage, Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeannes ski trip to Colorado for many reasons. (make a better opening sentence... make it different than everyone else's... SM) One of the reasons they were jealous is because there wasn't a lot of snowfall where Lisa lives. I think Lisa was jelious becuase Jeanne got to enjoy sking where there was a lot of snow. As the text states "We were all envious of her holiday plans. Unfortunetly we don't get to much snow in our region in December." This shows you that she was jealous of her plans to go skiing where there was a lot of snow, when she doesn't have a lot back home. Another reason why Lisa was jealous of Jeanne is because Jeanne went skiing over break and have fun while Lisa staied home with her family and doing hextic last minute shopping. As the text states Lisa says "Were not going anywhere exotic over break. We'd do some last minute shopping, hang out, and visit family and friends". As a result Jeanne was having fun over break while Lisa staied home bored and doing nothing. Therefore, Lisa was very envoius of Jeanne for going sking without her.

(maybe you should put a transition here...SM) Lisa and her friends were probably glad in the end that they didn't go on the ski trip for many reasons. I believe one the reasons Lisa was happy that she stayed home is because she would have missed her yearly party. As the text states "We've been coming here for so many years that we don't need an invitation." This proves that the party has been going on for years, and it's a really big hit and Lisa would be devastated if she couldn't make her own party. A second reason is because she would have gotten hurt on the trip. I believe that was a good idea that Lisa stayed home insteadof going on the ski trip.
