Winter breakin': Part 1

It has just begun, but so far, winter break has been lovely. Some things I've done:

-Taken a Briggs-Myers personality test (INTJ, just fyi)
-Knitted things.
-Saw "Sherlock Holmes." (I WANT TO BE SHERLOCK HOLMES. Actually...I was.)

-Baked. A lot.
-Hit the road to St. Louis with my bro.
-Stopped at my favorite roadside bakery/diner.

Love it. And that would be my brother's head. They have literally the most unbelievable biscuits I have ever had the pleasure of eating. (See below)

Mmmm butter....

-I cuddled with Xena. (Note: She is wearing a tiny Bears' jersey.)

-Got new tires. Thanks, Dad!

-Celebrated Christmas #1. There will be about five of them within the next week.

Grandkids crew. Fun times. I got a head scratcher as part of my gift, and I think it was the hit of the party. Along with my adorable little cousin. (The one in pj's in the middle. I want to take her home with me.)

-Went for a run. Pulled a muscle. Decided running should retire for the holidays.

-Did some writing.

-Missed the boy.

Those dimples get me every time. But that's okay; I pick him up Wednesday, and we hit Chi Town Thursday for some winter fun!

So there it is. A recap of things thus far. Look out for photos of our Chicago adventure this weekend!
