An Update, and Some Pictures

Hello All,

Well I know I'm a little more than late on this one, but I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve. Ours was very quiet, we just went out to dinner and came home.

Also, since it's been that long, I hope everyone also had a wonderful holiday! Our Christmas was... pretty good. Everyone was absolutely spoiled, as usual. It was fun, though this year felt a little... different to me. I don't know if it was from the stress of finals and not being able to shop early (though who am I kidding, I never shop early...), but I just felt like everything was so rushed this year, and though I know this is going to sound corny, I'm just going to say it.

Christmas lacked that *magic* this year for me.

I don't know if it's because I've just been feeling pretty down or if I'm just getting "old", I don't know. I will say though, that I will absolutely NOT procrastinate so much on my holiday shopping next year, especially since, as crazy as finals felt this year, they will surely be crazier when I am at an actual university, and not just community college.

Why am I having deja vu saying those words? Oh... that's right, I said the exact same thing in this very blog LAST YEAR. So we'll have to see if I link back to this very post next year, which will be truly sad.

Well, enough of the rambling... here are some pictures of our Christmas...

And then at Dad's...

How we all pretty much felt at the end of the day...


And here are a few New Years pics...
