It started off on December 20: The family I nanny for left for their holiday vacation. I left around 4:00 p.m. to the airport. I flew out of Newark, New Jersey airport. I couldn't believe it, it took forever to get to the airport due to traffic. I made it to Newark at 6:45 p.m. and made it through security and baggage. My plane took off at 7:15 p.m. I felt like I was in Home Alone 2 when they were running down to the gate. I was thirsty and hungry but I did make it on the plane. I landed in Utah at 11:15 p.m.
December 21: I hung out around the house and did errands with my sister. That night my family and I went to Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. It's a family tradition to go every year, and I love it. I even got to see the Light the World Giving Machines.
December 22: We got family pictures in Provo. After we went to lunch at a pizza place called the Brick Oven.
December 24: Christmas Eve. That afternoon my brother, his wife, and my nephew came over and we played and talked. I loved seeing my family. We had fun playing and enjoying time together. That night we had a Christmas Eve dinner, which consisted of salmon, rice, gravy, vegetables, rolls and pumpkin pie. After dinner we did our annual Christmas program. We read Luke 2, played Christmas songs, usually one of us play our instruments, and give our presents to our siblings. We switch names and buy gifts for each other.
December 25: CHRISTMAS! We opened presents and spent time as a family. I got wax warmer, bracelet, gift card, and money.
December 26: Went to lunch at Chick-fil-A for lunch and for dinner went to Cafe Rio. I try to go to a couple of my favorite restaurants when I'm home. For Christmas my mom wanted new carpet down the basement stairs, so my parents decided that the family room needed carpeting too. So with that, my family has begun the renovation process by tearing down the walls and ceiling of the family room. I got to put a hammer to the wall it was fun.

December 27: Hung out with a couple of my college friends. We met in Provo and carpooled to Spanish Fork. We went to a painting class together. I felt like Bob Ross.
