Christmas Trip

On Christmas Eve, we packed up our presents and food and headed to Pennsylvania with some friends, where we stayed for a week (and thankfully missed the blizzard in NYC that left Staten Island with 18 inches)! It was a super fun little Christmas trip!

fun things: skiing on Christmas day • eating so much food we could burst • matching pajama pants for each family • the guys making Christmas breakfast • swimming in the huge jacuzzi bathtub • watching the kids play and play with each other and their new toys • spontaneous ear piercing on a trip to the outlet mall (I felt like a nervous 12 year old girl, but I love them!) • bowling - and not doing very well • wearing matching yellow sweaters • hilarious "just dance 2" on the wii at night • swimming and sliding at the resort water park • playing card games and board games • laughing all the time •

I'll keep saying this again and again, but having good friends makes being so far away from family so much easier.

No way, Cat! I can't believe you pierced your ears. It took my mom until she was 51 to finally do it.

You are so lucky to have such great friends. That looks like so much fun!

Looks like a wonderful trip! Yes, having good friend and a good ward makes living far away from family much better. Glad you have found some great friends!
