holiday time :)

we had such a great christmas!! my friend from france, jenny came to visit us and experienced a different christmas than in france! we spent christmas eve dinner with our friends, made gingerbread houses, looked at lights and justin made cinnamon rolls. that is our new tradition. they were soooo yummy!we also had enchiladas for christmas dinner and then went to our friends house for a dessert party!  
christmas morning was perfect. 
we decided to not do christmas presents this year, just stuff our stockings :)  my in laws gave the money that would've been ours to homeless in belize! well, my phone will never be dead anymore because of my  new wall and car charger! j got tons of candy (which i almost ate half of) such a bad wife, and a gift card to chipotle! jenny gave us chocolates from france and other foods!
jenny came into the salon and we waxed her eyebrows for the first time and gave her a haircut, and styled her hair!
oh how we loved the snow!! 
we went to the rock & roll hall of fame! it was my first time! we loved it!! loved seeing elvis presley's, the beatles and michael jackson's old things!
the history of rock and roll 
inside the tower city center!!
had lunch at the yummiest place on E 4th Street!

downtown was all lit up for the holidays! so charming!!
oh how fun!
it snowed, we had hot chocolate, watched girly movies, painted nails and made hairbows :)
jenny is living in canada right now for school and had us sign her flag!
last, but not least.. crocker park to get make up at sephora
