the holidaze

ahhhh. the holidays are over. this holiday season was so incredibly hectic. i'm not sure why. maybe it was the last last minute shopping and creating of gifts. but it was the most productive, and we got to see so many more people than we did last year (bad planning and flu). we went to sf the day after christmas and came back after new year. it was so hard to see everyone we wanted to see, and still didn't get to even connect with some people :( but that's just an excuse for us to have visitors here. here's the whirlwind of pictures.
