Showing off the new bod dress:
This is what I looked like Thursday night:
I was quite a sight Friday morning. :-)
Hubs and I dragged our butts out of bed and stumbled to the Running Room to meet some friends for a run. I wasn't feeling so hot at first, but it was nice to get moving and take in the crisp, fresh air. By the end of the run, I felt great.
Friday evening we headed to my Mom's where we found a massive tree and tons of gifts.
We kicked off the festivities eating, drinking, playing board games and being merry with my family.
Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and french onion stuffed mushrooms. Mmmmm!
Having a laugh playing Cranium
Christmas morning it was time to tear through the pressies. I was thoroughly spoiled!
After gifts and a sugar-laden "breakfast", hubs and I were able to sneak out for a late morning run with our friends Ueli and Patricia who live around the corner from Mom's. The afternoon was then spent playing more games, hanging out with the sibs and getting dinner ready.
After another big day, we were all pooped and crashed pretty early. On Sunday morning the excitement started all over again with the Boxing Day 10-Miler (recap to follow!) followed by Christmas with Mark's family. Phewf... it's a good thing I have a week off to recover from all of this!
I hope you have all had (and continue to have!) a wonderful holiday! I'll be catching up soon...

How fun! When we're with my family for holidays, we always play lots of board games too, and I LOVE Cranium (Jerry hates the whistling one, though).

Those mushrooms sound awesome but the best part of this post is the Friday hair-do. That is just classic.
