Christmas Break. Last. One. Ever!

Funny how time flies. It wasn't long ago that I realized this winter break would be my last winter break! I'm lucky to have gotten one more in (thanks to the 5 year college plan!). It's strange and yet at the same time I am ready for the new season of life I'm slowly transitioning into. It's also strange because until the little nieces and nephews arrived, I had so much free time I didn't know what to do with myself! I know I sound crazy but I even studied. On my break. No assignment, no due date. Just studied. I know that makes me somewhat of a bookworm, but I'm okay with that! Anyway, that was pre-kids. Post-kids has been less "nerdy." It's been fun and just wanted to share some pictures, especially since my poor blog has not been getting any love lately (sorry blog, finals sort of take priority!). Enjoy!

PDX airport! 

Dad, Mom, Evelyn, Sarah and I got to go to the this concert! It was fun and very festive!




Saw these two houses on the TODAY show!! Crazy. I heard it was somewhere in Oregon but they didn't say where. So funny that it's literally across the street from my parents' neighborhood! 

"Trimming" the tree! :)

It was a great "last" one! After college graduation, Christmas is wonderful in a new way...just not as long unless you get more vacation! I love your pictures, Emily!

Great photos. Fun last vacation with a good mixture of quietness and busyness. :) Glad we could help add that flavor to it! ;)
