I'm back!! I hope y'all had a great and very merry Christmas with all your loved ones! I spent the first half of my Christmas break in California with my mom's side of the family. It was so nice to be with them for Christmas, since we are usually apart, and I loved that it was so warm!
I loved being able to run around on a beach, barefoot, in December! It was such a nice change from the cold Chicago winters I'm used to.
For Christmas Eve, we had a Puerto Rican dinner with empanadas, plantains, pasteles, and rice!
Little Sis and I rolling out dough for empanadas.
The whole fam!
We stayed at my grandparents' house the first few days and then moved on over to my aunt and uncle's house.
I'm tan again!! Yay! We spent a few hours Christmas Eve and Christmas day at my aunt's pool just hanging out and taking in the sun.
One of my favorite gifts was this pink Chi and a matching blowdryer from my parents, which I love. I also got a gorgeous mirrored jewelry box, a T&Co. initial necklace, a gorgeous purple scarf from J.Crew, a royal blue infinity scarf with matching gloves, gift cards, clothes from J.Crew and Rugby, a necklace, bangles from J.Crew, and the tweed headband that I'm wearing in my tanning picture!
My room is now in that post-vacation disaster stage. I can hardly see the floor with all the clothes, shoes, presents, etc.
I'm so thankful and blessed that I had such a fantastic Christmas with my family. I love them so much and was so happy that I got to spend time with them this holiday season.
How was your Christmas?
