On Christmas Eve, it snowed!
First White Christmas in 8 years for me!

Just a few pictures from our trip over Christmas. It was absolutely wonderful. Bittersweet, of course, but still wonderful. We did get a white Christmas, which you know I absolutely LOVED! Always dreaming of a white Christmas, this girl is.

It was hard coming home, but jumping right back into work the next day actually helped. I didn't feel like my mind was still on vacation. It was a rotten 3 days of work, but it at least got me back into a routine at home.

I go to night shift this week. A little nervous, a little excited. We'll see how it goes!
