So I've been home for over four weeks now, and I have been way too busy to even think about updating this blog.
Anyway, now I have a lot of catching up to do!
First of all, I had a wonderful Christmas. The day before I made silly gingerbread cookies!
A bride and groom, which were horribly decapitated on Christmas Day :( , a Team 399 member, an elf, Santa, and a guy in his PJs. On Christmas Day I received many lovely gifts from my parents, but this year I had even more fun giving gifts to my family! I probably spent a bit too much money, but I didn't mind. I found out at the beginning of December that I will be working 15-18 hours a week next semester WOOOO!!!!!!
After we opened our presents we have a delicious and very filling brunch with some family friends; Holly, the teacher in my mom's classroom, and her husband Marlin, and the Voraceks, who we know through Robotics.
This is Dave and my dad, in a very picture perfect moment!
Brad, Me, and Caitlin!
I honestly don't remember what else we did that day. My mom had planned to make a lamb dinner, but we were all too full from brunch, so we made our "Christmas Dinner" on Sunday. I'm sure we just lazed around all day enjoying the holiday.
I had originally planned to have a very quiet night at home on New Years Eve, but then Danielle, Kellie, and Ari ended up coming over to celebrate. It was still a pretty quiet night, however. We played board games and drank 4 bottles of apple cider, which comes out to a little more than 1 and 1/3 of a bottle for Kellie, Danielle, and me, and about 1/3 of a bottle for Ari.
We had a wonderful night, laughing hysterically due to the sugar high we were on, taking silly pictures with photobooth, and watching the ball drop at midnight.
So although my holidays were pretty uneventful, I wouldn't of had them any other way.
