My Christmas Break was super great. It was so fun to hang out with my whole family. Scott and Ashley got to visit from Pennsylvania and Melinda, Ben, Emerson, and Sammi got to visit from Ohio. Since we probably won't all be in one place again before Brad leaves on his mission, we decided to get a family picture taken. It was so fun with everyone here! We went to Ocean City for our traditional Christmas Eve Chinese food, we watched a bunch of movies, played trains a whole bunch, and just soaked up each other's awesomeness.
One of my favorite activities (and one of the few I actually documented) was making a gingerbread choo-choo train with E.
One of the movies our family got for Christmas was Toy Story 3. E would ask to watch Toy Story 3 over and over and he'd usually cozy right up to Aunt Nat :)
The rest of the break was good. I hung out with my friends and we had a couple of movie marathons. We had a Heath Ledger marathon where we watched "10 Things I Hate About You," "A Knight's Tale," and "The Dark Knight." It was a hit and everyone had a great time. Of course we had our traditional gigantic pizza from The Pie. Unfortunately, a pretty awful blizzard hit that day and what was usually about a 5-10 minute drive to The Pie became a 45-minute venture in the snow.
My friend Lundy hosted a Matt Damon marathon where they watched a couple of Bourne movies and Oceans 11. Then on New Year's Eve, Lundy hosted a New Year's Party slash X-Men marathon. That one was super fun. We all had a good time and made some new friends. It was SO fun to hang out with my guy friends again! All my best friends in high school were guys, then when they all left on missions I felt like I didn't have any friends anymore! So now they're back (or will be back soon!) and it's been a blast.
This Christmas break was one of the best. It was a great combination of spending time with family and friends and needless to say I didn't want to go back to school. Luckily, I wasn't dreading it as much as I have in the past... usually by Christmas break I'm really sick of my roommates and want nothing to do with them. This year I was pretty lucky and didn't have to deal with too many crazies :)
