The remainder of December has consisted of school finals, travelling, working, knitting, shopping, Vegas, skiing, snow, Christmas, and a bit of planning, among other things.  It doesn’t seem like that much happened, but time certainly did fly.

As a sort of pre-Christmas-holiday vacation, we ventured up to Las Vegas (sans Caleb) for a couple of nights.  It’s so lively there compared to where we live (obviously), so the change of pace was interesting.  Also, I’m a big fan of lights, which Vegas most definitely does not lack.  It also seemed to have an abundance of sketchy people and scantilly clad women, but I s’pose that’s beside the point.  My mom and I got tickets to see “Ice”, which was basically a Vegas-style-Russian-ice-skating show, which was quite swell.

On our way back we detoured through Flagstaff and met up with Caleb (and a friend) for a bit of snow-related fun.  It was horridly frigid (I had 7 layers and was still cold), but the snow was absolutely lovely for skiing/snowboarding no less!

Then we returned home, spent Christmas Eve with grandparents and lazily slept in and had a swell Christmas day (complete with our annual eating of Christmas Chinese food and the watching of the Doctor Who Christmas Special).

And now it’s the end of year, which seems to have come rather quickly.  Aye, so much has happened this year!  We’ve been blessed with positive experiences and amazing opportunities!  Hopefully yours was the same.

(15 days until I leave for Belfast!)
