Christmas Break...

This past Christmas break it was so nice to be home with my family. Some of my very favorite moments were just sitting and taking in the decorations:

-Or sitting on the couch drinking diet coke, watching American football

-Eating kraft mac and cheese

-Getting a pedicure with mom!

-Putting my jet lag to good use and spending the early hours of the morning catching up on Modern Family

-Bubble baths with my lush bath fizzes

-Cookie baking/decorating with my dad and sisters

-Cheesecake and only good conversation with Stace

-Creeper Santa at Candle light Christmas

-Downtown lights

-Christmas with the Child family, including meeting sweet baby London

-Catching up on trash mags

-Cafe rio... multiple times

-Cuddling with the cutest puppy in the world

-Hanging out with Lex

-Celebrating Christmas!

-Watching Emma and eating Galexy chocolate (keeping the English spirit alive and well)

-Car shopping... and our test run in the Passport....

-Driving the truck everywhere necessary

-Sleeping in

-Spending time by myself, after sharing a house with 35 others this was a special luxury

-Seeing coach Whitingham at what was probably the most boring chick flick of my life

-The roof for dinner... the mint chocolate cake was very good to me again. Just like last year!

-Sundays at the Alta Heights ward

-Seeing old friends, and missing the new ones

-Dance parties in the kitchen

-New Years with the Childs

-James remembering me

-Ringing in the new year at the U with Stace and Lex

-True Grit

-And just hanging out with the family

It was so nice to just be with my family. I know I've said that about 4 times in this post already but honestly, the rest was all just icing on the cake. I feel like I found a new love for Christmas this year, because I realized how much it is really is about being with the people you love.

And thats what made it so great.
