“Let’s go make cookies!!!” “YEAH!” “…did anyone move?”
circa Christmas ‘10

As we get older and are now spanned out to different parts of the country, there was discussion that maybe we wouldn’t be able to get together this year. We felt a tug at our heartstrings as we tried to come to the realization that maybe, at Christmas time last year, it would be our last year as getting together for Chinese, movies, cookies, presents, and quality company for the eve and morning of Christmas. Needless to say, we’re able to get together this year just like the years before and, as my heart, mind, and body go in and out of sync with each other for these last few weeks, being able to see all these girls in one place again for so many hours makes me so unbelievably happy. We’ll take gratuitous self portraits like it’s our job, be unable to actually construct the gingerbread house into something semi-related to an actual candy coated house, and giggle our way into Christmas morning with our silly beloved tradition.
