Christmas - Part I

Because Don and I both had to work during the Holidays, we couldn't visit our families this year.  We were lucky to have my parents fly out in the middle of December for a long weekend instead!  We considered this an "early" Christmas, and celebrated accordingly.

The major gift of the trip was surprise tickets for my Dad to the Celtics game!  He had been asking for a week or so leading up to the visit if it was possible to get tickets, and we kept telling him we couldn't go.  

*sneaky sneaky* 

Finally, on the night of the game, we whisked him away to the TD Garden for his Christmas surprise.  It was awesome.

I love basketball.  And basketball games.  And especially professional games.

The next day, my mom and I spent some time in the city doing some last minute elfing for SC.  I'm pretty sure we shopped during a blizzard.

As I *just* mentioned, the weather was...well, a blizzard.  During the worst of it, Don and I adventured out for a midnight walk around Jamaica Pond.  It was both a beautiful memory and walk.

One of the more important activities of the weekend was, of course, making sugar cookies!  This is one of my favorite things to do during any and all holidays.  I make excuses to make these cookies.

We had a ton of fun with my parents.  Thank you so much for visiting!!!
