Christmas is a time in our family where most of our traditions lie.
This year I wasn't able to go home to Kentucky but I did spend time with family.
Friday: Julie and I went to Julie's boyfriend's parent's house so that the two of them could exchange gifts. It was rather cute.
Then Julie and I got back in the car and drove to Kimberly's house.
We kind of just lounged for a bit but after a few minutes we left for Salt Lake City's Church of the Madeline. We went to Mass. Yup, three Mormon girls went to Vigil on Friday night at a Catholic church. It was really cool.
I've never been to Mass before and while it was definitely different, I'm glad I got to go.
I think everyone should learn and be open minded to other cultures (including religion) because it can help us understand one another.
Anyway, when we got back, we had cheeseburgers. It's a tradition in our family to eat cheeseburgers on Christmas eve and I LOVE IT! It's basically my favorite family tradition.
After that it was pretty late so, after chatting and eating dessert, we went to bed.
Saturday: CHRISTMAS!
I made Swedish pancakes...YUM. We opened our packages (1 for each of us) and then we just kind of hung out around the house. I took Mr. Charlie Bunny for a walk. Charlie is Julie's very fluffy, very cute bunny. I took him out on his leash and he kind of hopped around and ate grass, and I just stood there, but for a bunny I consider that a walk.
After that, Julie's boyfriend came up and the four of us went to see Tangled.
Cutest. Movie. EVER!
I saw it over Thanksgiving break but I was more than excited to see it again.
IT'S SO BLASTED CUTE!
If you haven't seen it, GO! Go today! Go see it! Even the guys like it!
After stuffing ourselves with popcorn and soda we went home and again, just sat around. Which is just fine. It was relaxing. But THEN we all got hungry and decided that going to Buca di Beppo for dinner was a good idea. So we went and ate yummy Italian food.
After we got back, we watched Elf and ate cheesecake. That cheesecake was DIVINE! UH! So yummy and I have to admit that Elf got better this time around. I didn't use to like it but it wasn't bad at all.
Anyway, that night I got home and Santa had come to visit me! (Thanks Megan ;D) It was the sweetest gesture and it made me feel better about not "going home" for Christmas.
Over all I had a pretty good Christmas weekend. It was nice to have a break.
