It’s the final countdown for Teresa Giudice, and the real housewife is spending her time wisely – with family.
With less than two weeks until her 15-month prison sentence begins, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star appears to be making the best of her dire situation, celebrating the holidays whole-heartedly.
The Jersey gal, along with husband Joe Giudice, stepped out Friday night to support daughter Gia, 13, and her music group 3TK perform for a fun-filled Christmas concert. The couple continued the fun with a trip to Crystal Springs Resort and Spa in New Jersey for skiing on Saturday.
Teresa assured her fans of her positive outlook during her challenging time, offering a shout-out to her eldest daughter via Twitter a few days before the performance:
"Me and Joe are so proud of our Gia can't wait to see her and the girls perform on Friday."
But the strain of her upcoming jail-time may also have the reality queen in a tizzy. According to reports, the mother-of-four appeared "super stressed out" and kept “uncomfortably rubbing her neck" throughout the evening.
While she can’t escape the inevitable, the star certainly knows how to enjoy her last days of freedom. According to an onlooker on Saturday, Teresa and two companions ordered a round of Fireball shots.
Last March, Teresa pled guilty to bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Once Teresa serves her time, husband Joe will begin his 41-month sentence for his fraud charges.
Despite her looming prison date, Teresa puts on a happy face for her children and remains in high spirits this holiday season.
