So, apparently I'm a picture-poster but hopefully a thousand pictures are better than a thousand of my garbled poorly worded sentences (but they'll be enough of those, no worries). I loved being home for a bit, I needed it, loved every second of it.... the only down side was that Brandon couldn't come too and I missed him bunches.
Here are some of the highlights:
(That's supposed to be from the movie White Christmas, get it?)
It snowed just for me a few days after I arrived and I loved it!
I love Temple Square in the winter time. I love Temple Square! I love the reflection pond and I loved that they put Mary and Joseph there this year.
Decorations... already mentioned that I love them but it's so fun to see my parent's decorations... we don't decorate much for other holidays but we have a whole storage room full of Christmas decorations at home. It's a little Christmas land inside. Love it.
I have realized this before but I am so blessed... for many many reasons but one of them is the amazing friends I have. I love them. So lucky! I wish I lived closer so I could have girls nights and Zucchini bread making parties and Applebees Oriental Chicken Salad lunches and just talk more and be closer to their cute kids so I could be a quasi-aunt. 
Lights Lights Lights. I love them. Layton Park.
Family Parties... I was lucky enough to be there for the Ripplinger and Schiess family Christmas parties, it's been years since I've been to them. So fun!
My family. I needed some family time, some sister time. I feel rejuvenated.
Temple Square. Lights. I can't get enough!!
I loved every second of this little trip. Thanks little family angles for making it possible. Thanks honey for letting me leave you- I missed you tons. Thanks family for spoiling me.
I needed this, loved it. I feel...full.

That is so great that you were able to come back for a while! It's amazing the peace and fulfillment that comes from "home."
I'm so glad I got to see you and catch up. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
