Blizzard

The day after we got back from the beautiful beaches of Florida, Boston was hit by a blizzard. In all, the blizzard dumped about 18 inches of snow before it left the area. It was good we came back to Boston when we did to avoid travel frustrations at the airport. We were relatively unaffected by the blizzard except for a power outage for a few hours Sunday evening and no hot water the majority of Monday (which was probably not be related to the weather). Bekah shot this picture of our apartment building on her snowy and very windy walk to work (note the wind blowing). Mitch enjoyed a comfortable day "working" from home.

Holidays

Christmas has come and has now passed. The season went quick for us. We spent most of our holiday break in Florida with Mitch's family. Our trip started off with Mitch's cousin Kristyn getting married, followed by celebrating Christmas with Mitch's Mom's side, celebrating Christmas Eve with Mitch's sister, and celebrating Christmas day with Mitch's Dad's side, all before jetting back to Boston to celebrate Christmas night together in our apartment. Besides celebrating Christmas we enjoyed our time in Florida soaking in the sun at several beaches, feasting on Worth Avenue, biking around Palm Beach, kayaking in MacArthur Beach State Park, and walking around a bird filled nature preserve. The pictures are here. We hope you had an enjoyable Christmas too and can't wait to hear about your holiday adventures.

Merry Christmas

Chris and Kristyn

Congratulations Chris and Kristyn! The happy couple wed at the beautiful Mizner Country Club in Florida. We were lucky enough to attend the ceremony a week before Christmas and make a week vacation of the ordeal to see family for the holidays. Although inclement weather forced the ceremony to be inside, it ended up being a beautiful ceremony and festive reception. Here is a sampling of some of the pictures. We wish them all the best in the years to come.

Gingerbread

To help get into the holiday spirit, Bekah decided to bake some gingerbread cookies. Here are a few of her creations. They are super-yummy! Interested in the recipe? Check out our kitchen-concoctions blog. Happy Christmas cookie eating season!
