Wordless Wednesday Christmas Edition

Today's Workout:  25 minutes weights, 7.1 miles running, 55 minutes
***

You knew this wasn't going to be completely wordless right? 

I hope you all had an AMAZING Christmas.  It has obviously taken me awhile to get back into my routine and back to blogging.  I have absolutely no excuse because I have just been playing, playing, and playing nonstop with my awesome family. 

My sister has all of the good pictures so I may shower you with more once I get my hands on hers.

Most of my Dad's family at our before Christmas party.


Me and my Grandma on Christmas.  We are "two peas in a pod" as my Mom would say.

And those are the only two "Christmas" pictures I have.  The rest of my time was spent playing with and trying to out run (yeah right) my 4 favorite kids in the whole entire world.

We took turns (me included) getting pushed around in the shopping cart. 

Ate Pretend cupcakes.  Seriously whoever invented fake pastry items is just down right rude!
 
Made messes at Grandma's house.  All my idea of course!




 And then to top off all of the fun we went to the zoo where we fit right in.  Even though it was only -4 degrees out the zoo lights were pretty cool.




And I have never been so happy to smell snake poop, and lizard guts in my life all because it was the only exhibit indoors.  Those reptiles really have things figured out.


I hope that Santa brought you everything you wanted but more importantly I hope you enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

Tell me something you got for Christmas?

Santa brought me a kitchen aid mixer and I have no idea how to use it.  I will definitely be blog stalking to find me some new recipes.

  2. Oh those little ones are too, too cute! I was playing with fake little food today too with my little grandson who got a toy kitchen center for Christmas. I hear you about just playing all Christmas vacation. It's so nice to just relax and enjoy the season.

    I got a new camera for Christmas so hopefully I can take some better photos as soon as I learn how to operate the gadget.

  10. Looks like you had a great Christmas. Good luck figuring out your kitchen aid. My mother in law gave me a bosh years ago, and since i'm terrible in the kitchen I still haven't figured it out!

  11. I'm so jealous that you got to spend Christmas with so many adorable kids! That's what I missed most this Christmas, having no siblings/cousins around to play with! I got the book Born to Run this year and I loved it!!

  12. You must be the best aunt ever!!! Mind if I borrow you for my baby? :)

    Great pictures! It looks like Christmas was so fun. And a Kitchen Aid?! I love mine... like to death! If fact, I was just complaining to Jason about how much I miss it here in Guam. You're going to have so much fun! What color is it?

    Merry (super late) Christmas and Happy New Year! <3
