christmas break

christmas break was the best best best. besides having a wedding right in the middle of it, i got to spend lots of time with my parents and sisters, cousins and grandmas and aunts and uncles, and my best friends. we hung out in new jersey as well as visiting philadelphia and new york city several times and upstate new york where our extended family lives. it was so much fun, and much of that is probably due to the number of bakeries and museums we went to. bakeries and museums are my two favorite institutions in the world. anyway, here is a play-by-play of the photos above:
