Road Tripping Holidays

To kick off the holiday season I got a special treat. My college friend Red Rachel was in town and we got to catch up over dinner and on the way home we stumbled upon a little Christmas spirit. An entire block with every single house lit up. I mean they went ALL OUT, there were tons and tons of lights, fake snow, mechanical santas and even White Christmas playing in someone's front yard. It was so much fun! Now, moving on to the holidays...This year we drive up to Utah to see my family and then down to Arizona to see Mason's. It was a ton of driving, but it was totally worth it! It was such an amazing trip, hours of talking, eating, laughing and plenty of trips to Kneaders. Here are just a few of the highlights. During the holidays, as a family we like to eat and lucky for us, my brother-in-law is quite the chef. Everthing from apple pie to homemade spaghetti sauce, we ate more food then should be allowed in a weeks time, but it was all so good! Another Mack family favorite is pizza night. My dad has been making homemade pizza for as long as I can remember and it never disappoints.I mean look at all that cheese! So good!
Arizona was a very short trip, but we got to see Mason's family which is always so much fun! We also got to go to Mason's high school reunion, which was a blast, but kind of crazy that we are old enough to be attending a high school reunion. Man, does time fly! As a side note, I finally got to fill up my advent calendar. Oh yeah!
