As Americans, silly little traditions have become such a big part of our lives. By far, Chritmas day has always been my favorite day of the year. I honestly have never slept the night before Christmas, from the lack of ability to stop my excitement. My parents keep waiting for me to out grow it....but I just can't.
I really have struggled with the idea of being away from my family this Christmas. I will miss the baking, leaving cookies for santa, waking up to see what he brought, seeing the cookie crumbs, and opening presents. (I obviously know santa isn't real....but the traditions always stuck)
Gina, my roommate who is also one of my best friends, has a Birthday coming up on Christmas eve. We decided that that this weekend we would celbrate her birthday on friday and then "Christmas" the next morning. We started out with going to Macaroni grill for dinner, and then having a party at our house after. Things elevated from there, and I have to say....This has been one of the most memorable Christmas's EVER! Look at these pictures and read the captions to see what we have been up too!

| We then decided, if it was Christmas we needed a Santa to come eat our cookies (my parents have always done it) So we gave our friend, Will, our house key and made him a santa outfit! |

We were upstairs getting ready for bed and we heart a noise.
We ran downstairs and this is what we saw.... |

We woke up to "snow" on Christmas morning...every girls dream! (I made these cool snowflakes)
 |
We opened presents, listened to Christmas music, and made pancakes! We now are currently watching Christmas movies.
I seriously have AMAZING FRIENDS! The past two days have been so wonderful! Merry Christmas! |
