Christmas Break

So Christmas Break is definitely over, but I wanted to post some pictures from when I was home! It was so good to see family and friends, and get some much needed relaxation and time to ponder about my life.

Before I left to go home, we of course had to celebrate winter graduation! I attempted to make a going away cake for my most favorite, most envied graduate...

Found it on Pinterest :)

Back east, I got a good dose of quality time with various kitties (not all of which were mine). I met a beautiful kitten on New Year's Eve named Chicken, took happy family photos with Sully, and became acquainted with a lovely farm cat on Christmas. Oh yeah, and saw Harley. She is still full of unwarranted hatred toward the world.

Oh, and this is Boots. He's awesome.

We spent a good amount of time in Missouri doing family stuff with family. I got to ice Christmas cookies and gorge my face, as is tradition. I finally got to eat at the infamous West End, where they sport a Christmas tree on the ceiling year round. We had to take our second cousins picture outside this year because we've all grown too much to fit on the stairs (there were 19 of us there, and we were missing four, making 23 of us!!)
When I wasn't in Missouri, I was finishing my Winter Beer Tour at Old Chicago, touring bourbon distilleries with my parents, painting, giving Sully a bath or watching him roll around on the floor, or driving past the snow-covered horse farms on Versailles Road.
