Christmas, New Year's, and A Wedding

 I know this post is WAAAY late but I've been sick and busy. First of all, Christmas was great! We went home to GA and saw our friends (almost everyone I wanted to see) in addition to lots and lots of family.
So first, Christmas was wonderful. I got a great present from my in-laws: A KINDLE. HUZZAH! Secondly, I got to see my niece and big brother for the first time in years. David took a nap on the couch (this is becoming a tradition for him. Also, my in-laws got to join us for Dad's wonderful Christmas Eve feast and my family came over to their house on Christmas day. So tons of fun family time.

New Year's had the nice bonfire out in the cul-de-sac in my neighborhood. We enjoyed catching up with all the neighbors.
The next big part of the holiday was Melissa and Derek's wedding. Yes, it was lovely and she looked gorgeous. So on the day before, we decided to go get our nails done for the wedding (the bridal party plus a friend of Melissa's). Naturally we had to make Melissa wear a hot pink sash! We did have to play a slight trick on her and joke about getting tiger stripes on her nails. She was less than amused about that.







 The wedding day was beautiful but COLD. Melissa looked gorgeous in her dress and Derek was quite handsome in his suit. I did not take any pictures (bridesmaid, had other things to do besides snap pictures) but there are some lovely ones on facebook taken by family. The reception was tons of fun (I got to play with Savannah for a bit) and we sent the newly wedded pair off with sparklers.
Things got nice and quiet after the wedding. We spent time with family and friends. I worked on my Mario Kart skills. There was lots of yummy food during the holiday. I got to try out Just Dance on the Wii - great fun. I did get some pictures of David dancing to "Walk Like an Egyptian". I did not let him take pictures of me since the angle is less than flattering.


 We definitely enjoyed ourselves and only wish that we had taken more pictures!
