Christmas Favorites

Look who joined me for a little Christmas trot.......

It's THE Billy.  The temps were perfect and of course I wanted to impress a certain someone by running speedy.

Hilly 3 mile run in 20:52.....I am loving my new little pace keeper:)

We came home and opened our stockings (I never want to grow up) and dug into these cinnamon rolls that the sister-in-law and I made yesterday.  (Recipe to come tomorrow).

(Prepare them the day before and cook them for 3/4ths the time recommended.  Freeze overnight and stick them in the oven that morning for the remaining time and they taste fresh without having to get up at 5:30 a.m. to bake)

Some of the favorite gifts:

My bro-in-law literally wrapped up a banana, orange, broccoli and a visa gift card to buy produce with.  He knows me way too well.

It looks like I am crying, because I am.....I was laughing so hard.

This is a date night gift basket from my in-laws, the other married siblings got one too.  Not awkward at all.  Yes, that is massage oil and a candle.

Billy gave me this book.....already, so so good.  Dean Karnazes is my hero.

In case you are wondering I wore these pj's for at least 36 hours straight.....only changing once into running clothes and then right back into them.

Spent the afternoon playing, 'Minute to Win It," and manicures at our friends house.

That would be Billy shaking his booty trying to get the candy canes out of the tissue box.

Glitter nails.  At least I am not the only twenty something year old girl trying to be a tween.  To defend myself I did stop watching Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies almost a year ago.

Ended the perfect day by watching 'Despicable Me' and 'Inception' while eating some more cinnamon rolls dipped into hot cocoa with a side of popcorn on top of M&M's.

Tell me your highlights from Christmas.

What was the best goodie you ate on Christmas?

-Mine was definitely the homemade cinnamon rolls.  I could dip 95% of my daily food intake into that frosting and be happy.
