Happy Christmas!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!! Me, Zoe, and Max spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Shannon's house. We went to Midnight Mass (complete with screaming baby and all), opened one present Christmas Eve, and spent Christmas eating (A LOT), opening presents, watching movies, and napping. I finished the day off by Skyping with the family back home and opening presents "with" them; all in all it was a nice day!

Dickens Christmas Market

Shannon and I took a day trip to Rochester England for the Dickens Christmas Market. Apparently Rochester was the inspiration for a lot of Dickens' work, so there are places around the city that commemorate that, along with the Christmas Market. It was the first market I've been to, and it was awesome! There were people around dressed up in Dickens period clothing, or characters from his books. There was fake snow, lots of food, crafts and shopping! I had all of my Christmas shopping done, so I was just enjoying the experience, but I did manage to find a Christmas ornament to personalize for me and Thomas. Afterwards we found an American diner - it was delicious and authentic! :)

Christmas carolers

They looked prettier than they tasted ;)

Beautiful city

We found an American diner afterwards - I got a chocolate milkshake, YUM!

Our new ornament :)

Christmas Came Early!

Christmas came early to the Starr household this year, thanks to my amazing husband! When I got back from my trip to the States, he had gotten out all of our Christmas decorations and put everything up himself!! It was SO cool to come to that. We opened our presents to each other and had a great day celebrating, even if it was a little early. :)

Coffee press, whoo too! :)
