What a lovely and relaxing Christmas! This year Megan, Neil and I headed to Doylestown on the 22nd to spend the week with my parents. I always love going to my parents house. My mom does such a great job making our house feel so inviting and cozy. We arrived to a hot pot of chili waiting for us and our wine.com order chilling in the fridge.
Christmas Eve turned out a little differently than I had planned because I ended up working the majority of the day and even missed church with my family. That said, I am SO LUCKY to work for a company that allows us to work from home and are very flexible with our schedules.
I did sneak out for a bit to get our annual picture with Santa Claus! This year, Neil was our special guest star and our theme this year. This was our 13th picture with Santa and every year it's a mad rush to get the picture done, but we are so happy afterwards because it's such a fun tradition.
After wrapping up work we did our traditional Christmas Eve dinner which consists of a ton of apps!
Christmas day was a very chill, relaxing day! My family decided not to do presents this year after the insanely expensive year we all had (sorry, guys). It was nice not to stress over money, etc, but at the same token, it did feel like something was missing a bit!
The day after Christmas we were going to walk around Doylestown, see a movie, something fun, but I came down with SARS. Ok, maybe it wasn't SARS, but I felt terrible. Thankfully, P.S. I love you was on TV so my dad, Neil and I watched that while Megan perfected her Gingerbreak Shale (fancy house).
We left bright and early on Friday and I still felt like garbage. On the way to the airport we hit standstill traffic for awhile, which resulted in us running to the gate to make our flight with 4 minutes to spare! While we were catching our breath the flight attendant asked if anyone wanted to move to the front of the plane, so Neil and I took one for the team and were moved into first class which was a great way to end a great week!!
Since coming home I haven't done much besides cough and clean. I was getting so stir crazy that I had to do SOMETHING so I just started deep cleaning our apartment (over, closets, cabinets, all the gross stuff). Great way to start the new year!
