And I got my cat fix.

Our Winter break in Prescott was everything we hoped it would be and more. 

We got into the Christmas spirit by going caroling with the family, the missionaries, and some members from the ward. We baked lots of treats to give away (and to eat ourselves.. shhh).

We spent Christmas Eve with the cousins, and it wouldn't be Christmas Eve without a nativity, right? As the youngest couple present, we were elected Mary and Joseph. The best was watching everyone try to fit into costumes intended for primary children.

For Christmas, Santa brought me a light and some curtains for our living room, a Macbook Pro to replace my struggling Dell, and a new (to us) Honda Accord to replace our junky Jetta.

Tyler got some things he wanted... and some things he didn't want so much.

The day after Christmas, we went up to Tyler's uncle's cabin to find some snow for sledding.

This is our friend, Aaron. He came home with us for Christmas. Does he look lovable or what?

Unfortunately the hills were not ideal for sledding. So we shot Tyler's dad's .358 instead.

I drew a target on a Dunkin' Donuts box (in a moving car... don't make fun of it). This was Tyler's first shot. Pretty impressive, no?

New Years was eventful.

[Insert lengthy paragraph about allllllllll the cool stuff I did this year here.]

Mostly, the best part of being home for Christmas was taking a break from schoolwork to hang out with family and friends. We were well fed and well loved and it was just the boost we needed to rejuvenate us for another busy semester. My last semester of school ever.

Bring it on Winter 2015.
