Christmas Break & New Years

Happy 2012 Everyone!

It's hard to believe that just two short weeks ago, I was anxiously awaiting my arrival home.  Of course now, I'm back at school, anxiously awaiting tomorrow, which will be verification that break has officially ended and it's back to the books.  But before school officially starts, here's a re-cap of my wonderful Christmas Break home:

Just a few of many cookies!

My first full day back, I spent the afternoon decorating Christmas cookies with my best friend from high school, Carrissa. Since this was something we'd been doing since high school, I immediately jumped on the offer.  Catching up, decorating cookies, and eating the broken cookies... definitely a great first day back!

For the remainder of the break, I either hung out at house or spent afternoons with my mom, which consists of running errands, shopping, and lunch... something we always doing when I'm on break!  I also caught up on some of my favorite shows (as boring as that sounds!) since I never have time to watch TV during the school year.  Break also consisted of sleeping in and eating delicious home-cooked meals, as well as dinners out with my family and a dinner out with my dad, something we've been doing lately whenever I'm home for break.

Watch out 2012, here we come!

This year, I also decided to come back early to celebrate New Years Eve with some friends at school.  My friend Jeremy (also a blogger!), had a small get together at his apartment, where a few of us spent the evening playing board games with Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve in the background.  Although it was just a few of us, Jeremy decided to go all out with decorations and New Years Eve paraphernalia.  Between that and all the dips, snacks, and sweets from Christmas, it was truly a night to remember!

**Here's to the end of an amazing year and the beginning of an even better one!**

Oh, and 51 days until Spring Break, but who's counting?! ;)
