Last year's Christmas break (2021) was all about finding my wedding dress. That is what we did for my birthday shopping day and we went on my birthday the 27th. We celebrated it that way. Sharon came with us to join in on the fun. After we went to two different places to try on wedding dresses, we found the one. The two places that we went were David's Bridal and Gracie's. We found my wedding dress at Gracie's. I tried on about 3 to 4 dresses at David's bridal. At Gracie's, I tried on about the same number of dresses. We also ate out at a small restaurant.
This Christmas break (2022) was my family oriented. On the 27th, we had a Christmas / birthday dinner with almost all of the family there and Sharon. We even opened on Christmas presents and I got to open my birthday presents. Mom even baked me a yuletide log cake for my birthday. Even though it was family-oriented, there was one family memo that was really missed and that was Dad. I noticed him missing because of two things. He wasn't there in the morning to wish me happy birthday as soon as I got up. During the family prayer, it just felt weird when someone else said that we thank you for so and so on their birthday.
Then on the day after my birthday, the 28th, we went to Silver Dollar City with some of the family to see the Christmas lights but there was a special moment for me that I don't want to forget. It was when I was with my mom in the Wildness Chapel for a half an hour Christmas sing-along. It really meant a lot to me just to be there with her for a half an hour. We also saw a little boy that loved the Christmas songs and he was singing his heart out. It was so cute. Even though Zack and I didn't get home until almost midnight, that was the best day after my birthday that I have had in a while. Just because of that one thing that I got to do with my mom. Hopefully, I will never forget that moment in the Wildness Chapel at Sliver Dollar City after Christmas singing Christmas songs along with my mom.
