Definitely took a break from blogging over Christmas break - I was having too much fun with family and friends to spend much time on my computer! Break was perfect though, I wish it would have lasted longer, but I'm thankful for the time spent with people I love.
Some fun things that took place over break :
Pink Party
My grammy and I spent a lot of time planning the pink party I told you about in my last post. And it was so great!!! We had so much fun and everyone who attended seemed to also. We had pink food, everyone wore pink, and we had a pink grab bag game. Check out the pink macarons - our first time making them and they turned out SO well! They even had the little "feet" or ridges along the bottom. We filled them with almond buttercream. Oh we can't wait to make more again soon! My best friend, Allison was able to come (yay!), as well as a lot of other guests that we were overjoyed to see.

Christmas Sunday & Christmas Eve & Christmas
Of course this was exciting! Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year - we always go to Grammy and Papaw's for supper and gifts, and then we go to our church's Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. Christmas carols, the Christmas story, it's perfect! Then on Christmas morning we read the Christmas story again and opened presents again. We are so blessed to have each other and the greatest gift of all - Jesus.
Vacation to St. Thomas, USVI
This was one of the best vacations EVER! So warm, so fun, and so memorable. My dad, mom, brother, his girlfriend Erika, my best friend Carley, Grammy, Papaw, and my aunt Julie all went to visit PARADISE for a week! It was literately perfect. We would wake up, go to the beach all day, and then go back to our hotel and get ready and go out for supper. I could definitely get used to that lifestyle, y'all. I wish I could put all the pictures up, but here are a few of my favorites!

We realllly enjoyed the beach - laying out and snorkeling were two of our favorite things. So glad Carley got to come with us!
Working Out
I've been trying to stay motivated to work out - it is one of my New Year Resolutions! One thing I'm kind of excited about for going back to school is hitting up the gym there (it's much bigger and nice than the one I use at home.) Hopefully I can stay determined to keep this resolution.

Misc.
I also spent my time hanging out with friends, babysitting, and watching my best friend Kalle cheer! I did competitive cheer in high school, so I'm reliving the days by watching and cheering her on!

It was a great break, and I hope you had a great time at home too! Now, back to school as classes start tomorrow [I have two 8 AMs this semester eek].
Love y'all,
