Christmas Break has been a dream. I have just loved it. It has been a much needed BREAK.
First of all, the decorations are gorgeous.
I'm all about traditions so these places are a must. Spinning the wheel and getting ice cream here.
New Year's Eve I started to get sick (bummer!) but the day was spent watching sports, playing games, and of course staying up until midnight. It was a struggle this year! I wanted to go to bed way before haha! But the traditions were complete with pancake throwing on the roof, pots and pans, sparklers, and toasting with Martinelli's.
I had the opportunity to teach Young Women's the next day at church. It was so fun to put together the lesson. I did something called a silent lesson where you make a powerpoint with questions and videos around a certain theme and hand everyone a piece of paper to take notes and reflect on. It's super powerful and kinda fun to mix things up!
But mostly I think my Christmas break could be summed up with this.
You could always find me curled up with a book. I NEVER take time to read in real life so I took full advantage of my break.
The Shepherd's Song - (don't know the author)
The Orphan Keeper - Cameron Wright
The Mistletoe Secret - Richard Paul Evans
I highly recommend all these three!
Although it was a bit short, those 10 days without r e s p o n s i b i l i t y were much needed!

Christmas morning was so fun! I racked in on some great presents!
George Foreman grill and a Costco membership. I'm set in the food department.
Right after church on Sunday, we left to go to SEASIDE. There is nothing like being at the beach. Here's some highlights.

Yummy pizza at the arcade!
Jacob won the 200 tickets!! He was pumped!
We went to see grandpa on the way home and of course stopped at Burgerville. It was fun to see him. He was on a roll with his jokes. We were dying!!
We then had Sarah's wedding on Thursday. She looked gorgeous! And some bomb teriyaki with the fam right after the temple.
We LOVE cute baby Mak! All *heart eyes* over him.
Two cute boys! And ginormous sparklers! One of my top faves.

I want to read the Orphan Keeper! This summer at Deseret Book, it was one of the featured books they talked about at our product meeting and it sounds like a good one!
