Christmas on the Brain

I realized yesterday that this is the first December of my adult life that has not included finals, papers, and dissertation deadlines. And, while I always kind of liked December before, boy howdy do I like it now. I was looking through some old pictures tonight, and I just had to post this one. My little brother is the original photo bomber, and he is completely hilarious. I can’t wait to see these two, and to be home, in just a few weeks. Last year, Eric and I spent Christmas here in Pasadena and didn’t get to see family, but this year we will be seeing both of our families! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some presents to wrap. Happy Christmas season!
