This was the first year I had been back home for Christmas in years and Bobby's first wintertime Missouri visit. The drive was long but we had a wonderful week. I promised myself never to go this long without seeing my family again. I has not seen my parents since our wedding which was over a year ago. Now for a bunch of instagram photos.

| We had so much fun driving around looking at Christmas lights in KC with my brother and his girlfriend. |
 |
| The Magic Tree in Columbia has moved which is weird, but still magical. |
 |
| Winter clothes made it feel more like Christmas! (Waiting for my dad while he makes "just a quick stop" at the bike shop) |
 |
| My mom said I looked "homeless" several times on this trip. Sweat pants and Uggs are perfectly fine when it's cold, you're at home and sick! But the other mom "highlight": creepy toys in our stockings. She was very proud. |
 |
| feijoada! Can't believe my brother's gf wouldn't even try it! |
 |
| Rock Bridge State Park with my dad! Bobby couldn't get over the cold and how he "couldn't feel his face." I thought the cold and clean air was amazing. |
 |
| We saw "Silver Linings Playbook" at Ragtag |
 |
| Choji's other new holiday sweater |
 |
| Lunch with my flower girl at the new Shakespeare's! She taught me all about the Barbie Fashionista app. We are two peas in a pod. |
 |
| Girls' night with Kelly! We had a lovely Japanese dinner. |
 |
| Day trip to Saint Louis to see Julianne, Mary, and the newest pup, Jojo! |
 |
| freezing but still determined to try Ted Drewes |
 |
| Julianne and me outside Vintage Vinyl in StL. Bobby did all of the shopping on this trip. |
 |
| This is what Bobby looks like in heaven/Euclid Records in STL. |
 |
| a gift from Auntie Julianne! |
 |
| Obligatory/Amazing/Delicious birthday lunch at Booche's |
