I hope it's not too late to post photos from Christmas.
This year Eric and I went to visit my family in Maine to celebrate Christmas. It was the first time I had a white Christmas since (this trip here) and it was a holiday celebration to remember!!!

We arrived really late in the evening (delays due to weather) and this was what it looked like the first day we woke up!


It snowed the first day we where in Maine, which made it a white Christmas! Eric and I made a snowman and played outside like kids... then sat next to the fireplace to warm up.
My grandfather came up from NJ to spend the holiday with us, which made it extra special.

 My mom thought it would be nice if we all did a puzzle together. I became obsessed over it until it was complete and found that I really like doing puzzles (thanks mom).

 We ate so much amazing  food during the Christmas holiday! My mother is the best cook I know and my dad makes an amazing breakfast. 

Of course when one visits home they must look at old family photos, it's the best!
We also where able to see some wonderful friends that I grew-up with (my friend Cody put this floor down in her home herself and her mom made the big kitty toy.)


Then it happened... it snowed so much we where stuck in Maine!!! Our flight always leaves really really early in the morning so we normally spend the night in Portland (one of my favorite small cities) and ended up having a small winter vacation in Portland Maine.

There was such a big snowstorm in Portland that we ended up being in the local newspaper... you can see a video of us here in the snow.

We made the most of our snowy adventure and actually found ourselves having fun in the cold (who would have thought!) 

 The photo above is what it looked like out the window of the airplane the morning we flew out of Maine... we almost didn't make it home.

Duckfat is a sandwich shop in Portland Maine that is known for their Belgian fries made from Maine potatoes fried in duck fat and their killer milkshakes. We read the reviews and just had to stop by to see what everyone was raving about. There was a 20 minute wait for seating and we got the best seats in the house; el-fresco on a warm summer day in Maine. Everything was amazing down to their homemade ketchup, my mouth still waters every time I remember the meal I ate there. Duckfat is a must for lunch the next time your visiting Portland Maine.

Have you ever built a house?
I think that my family is pretty amazing, they have all built their own homes, impressive right?! It’s always been important to my family to have they’re own house and to own land. My father built his house when I was very young off the grid, my brother has built his home near my fathers and runs his home by solar power and my mom has just moved into her new home last year that her husband built for them. I love visiting and seeing all the new home improvements and find it comforting to know they will always be there.  Maybe one day I too will want to build my own home.

I recently became very homesick and just had to go up North to spend some time with my family and friends in Sumner Maine. It’s been almost 15 years since I lived in Sumner and I’ve never truly missed living there but there is something so special about my little home town. The one thing I've always missed most about home are my family and friends that live there. I try to go back at least once a year to see everyone. Here are a few photos of some of the best people in the world that I've known since day one, I love you guys!

Why does the week go by so fast when you're on vacation? We've been in Maine this week hanging out with my family and friends and having a blast - I'm just not ready for it to be over. We have a few more days left and plans to visit more wonderful Maine people. Today we're hiking into the woods to see the greenhouse my brothers been building and have a bonfire.
What are you're plans for the weekend?

I am counting down the day's until we're in Maine and eating dinner with my family.
I'm not sure which if I miss more the fresh Maine lobster or the fresh Maine corn? Is there a meal that's from your home state that you miss eating?
Mmmmmmmmm......

Do you equate your mom to an animal? My mom has always been the crow to me and I've never seen a crow on St John. I miss her. I'm so looking forward to seeing her in a couple of weeks, yay!!!
