What a year! Sadly, I have only accomplished some of the goals I had set for myself (both generally and personally) in 2013, but I am satisfied with how the year ended.
I'm so sorry to have been missing in action these past two weeks!, but I took a much needed "vacation" from absolutely -everything- as soon as my semester was over. Things were quite hectic this year during the holidays, especially since we had Little Munchimunch for most of the time!
So what have I been up to these past two weeks?
Baking and decorating cookies with the little guy. We were baking Christmas cookies, but he wanted to make Halloween ones. haha

Baking cookies to be mailed out to friends and family. Minty Dark Chocolate Crinkle Cookies and Peppermint Smores (recipe coming soon!).

Dealing with nonstop snowfall. I managed to snap some pictures during the day when it stopped snowing and wasn't single digit temperatures outside.

Decorating our Christmas tree and wrapping some presents up. I decided to go with a simple red and silver theme this year. ^_^

Having Matchbox car races with classic JDM cars.

And playing around with my camera really late at night when there was a blanket of fog outside.

I also finally had the chance to relax and read a book, a real book that wasn't a textbook or classwork and/or school related. And I did so while taking a hot bath with a delightful bath bomb. Not to mention, also having the time to paint my nails for the first time this year. I know, I know. I really need to take care of myself better.
We ended the year spending time with the little guy, having dinner at Buca di Beppo (review coming soon!), and dancing the night away with some friends. A fantastic end to a trying year.
There are many plans and goals for 2014, but not as many as 2013. I only foresee good things happening this year and I am excited for things to come. ^_^
What did you do for New Year's? Do you have any goals or plans for 2014?
