In November, me, Cory, his sister Dawn, and her boyfriend Scott went to Chattanooga for Cory & Dawn's cousin Richae's wedding. Richae is a super big sweetheart and her wedding was gorgeous. This is us with Richae...and I didn't notice till I uploaded the pic that Scott's eyes are closed...and now I'm too lazy to switch the picture, so- sorry, Scott.
After the wedding, we went out with a bunch of Cory's other cousins and got nice and drunk, and wandered the streets of Chattanooga a bit. Super good times!!
The weekend after the wedding, Cory, his mom and I all took our annual trip to Chalfont, PA (outside of Philadelphia). We shopped and went to a Jim Henson exhibit, which was awesome!! We also went into Philadelphia and I got to see the Liberty Bell for the first time. It was...underwhelming. I mean, there's this small building and it's super crowded and hot (even though it's cold outside) and people crowd around the bell and you can't see it, then when you try to take pictures, it takes like 7 times before you can get one without some asshole's head in it. But, 7th time's a charm...
We also ate a lot of delicious food, courtesy of Cory's aunt, and rode a train and ate the best Philly cheesesteak sandwiches ever at a place called Delsandro's.
Lauren also had an art show during Christmastime. Here is her super adorable tree topper on her studio Christmas tree....

Somehow I don't have any pictures from Christmas, but it was a really great one!! Well, except for the part where Cory had to go to the ER. But he is OK and we got out in time for church, so it was a minor snag. I went to church with my mom, Lauren & Kyle, as usual, and Lauren's wife Erica joined us this year. Then me & the sisters went out and met everyone at the bar, which is our Christmas Eve tradition. Spent the night at my parent's house, opened lots of presents, and ate delicious food.
Cory made me go on a scavenger hunt for my present and hid it under and behind his mom's bird cage. Which was mean, but it was an awesome present, so it was worth it. And the bird didn't kill me, which was a plus.

We spent New Year's Eve at Mickey's first, then went to our friend Tim's house. Our friend Jewel spent NYE with us...she is super cute...
Here are Cory, Dustin, and Jewel...
Oh, and also during the holidays, Angel was in town!! We ate out at a bunch of different places, went to the mall a bunch, and accidentally got drunk at a bowling alley and had to have her 18 year old brother pick us up....
We also hung out at her parent's house and karaoke'd, played pool, and generally had lots and lots of fun!
Angel, Karaoke Superstar...
