Since I didn't blog during most of December and the beginning of January, here are a bunch of my instagram photos from that time to show you how we rang in the holidays. We decorated our apartment for Christmas; lit luminaries in scenic, snow-covered Lancaster, PA (Amish Country) where Jesse's family lives; witnessed Baltimore's lighting of the monument festivities; celebrated Jesse's 31st birthday; and then spent New Year's Eve nursing colds on our couch. It all kind of felt like a beautiful, twinkling, sparkly blur.
