Under the Mistletoe

When I packed my bags for Christmas, I was packing for 18 days and three stops - Atlanta, Salt Lake and San Fran. It was an overwhelming undertaking . . . so I ended up shipping a box to Utah. Haha oh the things I'll do to not check a bag.

The first stop was Atlanta for Christmas. It was wonderful. I gained 10lbs eating, but lost 10lbs laughing. Highlights include:

Sister time. My parents house has five bedrooms, and since there are five girls that means two people have to share. There have been plenty of times when this caused serious problems (#firstworldproblems), but this year there were four beds, four sisters and two bed that were never slept in. That's how awesome of a Christmas it was.



Sugar cookies, but not just any sugar cookies - darla's sugar cookies. The World's Best Sugar Cookies. We talked about these cookies whenever we weren't actually eat them, so to say they consumed our Christmas is not an exaggeration. We even discussed the difference in shapes - the Christmas trees were the clear winners, with stockings falling close behind and stars fall so low on the list they actually got thrown away.


Fuel for our big shopping days - reindeer pancakes


and Chickfila . . . and Diet Coke


Horrible, horrible Christmas PJs


The annual Christmas hot tub party


Pinkberry



Throw in a handful of movies and that just about covers it!

And just like Christmas was over and Caisa, Sam and I were boarding a (delayed) plane for Utah
