Holidays

This holiday, JJ decided to stay in Chicago to relax on our new couch while I went to Toronto to hang out with family and friends.

Over the 10 days I was home, I...

... watched Tiffany throw her awesome annual Christmas food party (thanks Tiff!) with strong jello shots courtesy of Jim.
(Donna: "Is that strawberry or cherry?"
Tiffany: "It's vodka.")


... ate home-cooked food!!!!!


... went to Elora Gorge with my parents for some beautiful winter scenery.


... celebrated Justin's 26th on the 26th at Panorama!


... ice-skated at Harbourfront Centre for the first time.


... demolished crepe and waffle desserts at Demetre's.


... drank bubbletea in the middle of the afternoon.


... shared some Kamasutra Indian food with N4 rez friends that I haven't seen in a while!


... and had some dim sum!


A great relaxing time was had by all!
