Pennsylvania Weekend

So I didn’t come back Monday, as I said I might have.

But you know the holidays and how busy they are, like all the time, so I’ve opted for comfy PJ nights with the hubs sipping hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies.

But we did take a short trip up to PA (short as in four days, because that drive is anything BUT short) to see my mom and sister.

I got to see my aunt and uncle, eat my mom’s spaghetti (which is the shizzzzzz  by the way), go shopping in Lititz for candy galore, and head to a hockey game.

Reading, PA has also made national news with their ugly tree, which they have dubbed the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree — single red ball and all.

Here’s some pics from our trip:

this is for real y’all — my mom has the leg lamp.  the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window….

stell-dog didn’t dig being thrown in front of the fire.  at all.  but dammit, I needed a cute picture.

my mom’s mantle.  so pretty.

“the” spaghetti.  I could eat this every day.

 

sweaty hockey players, fun music, and the cast of Frozen was there –what else could you possibly want out of a night at the Reading Royals hockey game?

the poor sad little Christmas tree.

 

my sister and I ate the hockey game.

 

stella was not happy with the 13 hour car rides, especially when we had all the treasures in the back seat.

It was definitely a welcome break — and now I have a table of Santas/snowmen/assorted holiday decorations and candy from Wilbur’s.  And of course getting to chill with the family.

All in all — it was pretty great.
