I finally understand why men, women and children are so blissfully crazy over the Christmas holidays. I finally experienced the most wonderful holiday season of my life and I have Ryan, The Buffalo experience and his wonderful family to thank :)
While in the city, I had the glorious opportunity to walk by this everyday after work :)

My first Christmas experience ever and it was more than I could have asked for!

In anticipation of a wonderful party, Ryan and I made eggnog from scratch!

It involved all of the ingredients you see above including (I can't seem to find the recipe we found, so the measurements are approximated/may be wrong):
1 c Sherry
1 c Rye Whiskey
2 c Brandy
1/2 c Rum
12 Eggs
10 tbp sugar
1 qt Milk
1 qt Cream
Nutmeg: a dusting on a finished drink
It was a hit!!

After Christmas day, Ryan and I went on an adventure to Niagara Falls. I'd never been and was almost as excited as Christmas morning for this!

I've finally made it to Canada! It was a glorious Foursquare check-in!

And what would a family holiday experience be without some childhood art work on display :)
