Christmas in Utah

This year for Christmas, Nathan and I met up with his family in Utah. It was my first white Christmas and I loved it! It was so fun spending time with family.

Such a fun trip and now back to reality!

Harry Potter World

So for Christmas Rivka and James got us tickets to Universal Studios. The Harry Potter World was AMAZING. Walking through the castle I literally felt like a Hogwarts student. We saw the talking portraits, the pensieve, Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Dumbledore, the sorting hat and so much more. The rides were awesome too. I seriously wish that wizards and witches were real.

OH MY GOODNESS. The butterbeer was delicious!! It tasted like cream soda with a thick butterscotch foam on top. It was to die for.

Olivanders

Chocolate Frogs

Every flavor beans, we played a fun game with these while waiting for rides. You would randomly select a bean, eat it and try to guess the flavor. Some of them are horrible. Nathan got vomit and ear wax, the worst one I got was grass.

This one was just too cute to not post. 

We are SO sad this trip was over. We made so many fun memories and miss the VDG's!

I LOVE Reading

I used to not be much of a reader but lately I can't stop reading books! I have two MUST reads. They are both so ridiculously good.

This book is so so so good. My mom introduced it to me. Its about a girl that has a very poor family but they make it by and how she made it to New York City. It is amazing. 

 I know, I know, I'm a little behind the fad of Hunger Games but I just finished this book and I NEED to get the second one now. I could not put this book down. It is so intense. Looove it.
