I have my pictures for this week, just haven’t had the chance to post them. Hopefully I will get them on tonight after zumba.

Christmas break went super-fast. I think we had something going on every night, which is rare for break. Tuesday the 21st (I believe), we went to Joel’s bosses house for his work Christmas party. Always a good time and always good food. Wednesday was supposed to be our last day at school, however the “fog monster” came and we ended up being closed. I was perfectly ok with this because I got an extra day of break! I also got everything packed and finished making things before we headed to my parents’ house. There would have been no way I would have been ready to leave on Thursday had it not been for that day off.

Thursday we traveled, with Jadys, to my parents’ house. I love going a few days before Christmas Eve because if we go the day before or that day, it just seems so rushed. So Thursday we headed to my parents, mom and I finished wrapping presents and watched home movies, and had some Skyline (a must have when I go home). Friday, we went to the park (warm day for December), and later went and saw Arthur Christmas in 3D. It was cute and really funny. I am definitely going to have to make it part of my Christmas movies that I watch in December every year. Had dinner and then my mom and I made our food for Christmas Eve while Joel, Drew, Ashley, and my Dad played cards.

Christmas Eve! We went to my Aunts like always. Had good food, ladies opened $5 gifts, played some games, ate some more, and finished the night with presents. It sounds like I am belittling the day by putting it in a list, but it was a great day..see pictures below.

Christmas Morning! We opened our presents, had breakfast, and packed up the car. I hate when it’s all over and having to say goodbye. We then headed home to drop off some stuff and Jadys, and then it was back in the car to head to Joel’s parents. Drew and Becca were in Penn. and Jack was in Chicago, so we just had dinner and opened our stockings. We all came back on the 28th to open presents. Another good time and good food.

New Years was ok. We had some friends at our place, and I always let the stress of hosting get the best of me. It was originally going to be us and our friends Zac and Lauren (which is no problem hosting wise), but we had some other friends come as well (which was fine, just wasn’t set for it…I’m not some weirdo when it comes to hosting, I just worry about entertaining people and since this is actually our house I care about it more than rentals we have had in the past). So needless to say by the time midnight hit I wasn’t having any fun. Not on accord to my friends…it was my own doing.

However, New Year’s day was much better. In fact, it was a great way to start the New Year. Joel and I slept in, had pancakes, played Minecraft for a few hours, and then moved to the living room to watch “How I Met Your Mother” the rest of the day. I have to admit, the show is getting better…it’s just not as funny as most people say it is.

The rest of break, we hung out with friends and are now back to the old routine. I’m at work at the moment, but I will post pictures of Christmas when I get home. Have a good rest of the day!
