I don't remember the last time I had such a wonderful Christmas! I hate to be cheesy, but this was like a dream come true - getting to see my WHOLE family, waking up together Christmas morning, the look on my nephew Benjamin's face when he unwrapped his presents, what a blessing! Allow me to unload some pictures on you. I feel you'd like to know my family better. Because they're total strangers who you will probably never meet. With an odd sense of humor.... and questionable footwear.... kay, here ya go. You lucky dog...

My parents and I at Carl Von Luger in Scranton the night they arrived - YUM!

THE WHOLE BUNCH OF US!! I feel so blessed to have such an amazing, fun family. But I also feel blessed to have YOU, KRZ family! I truly appreciate everything we share - humor, music, facebook friendships, texts, I feel like we're all connected. *Internet hug!!*
....kay, seriously I'm done being cheesy now. Somebody add salsa to me and microwave it cuz I'm a big emotional bowl o' Velveeta over here. God bless us! Enjoy the season! And here's to a cheese free 2013 :) xoxo ~Liss
