A Perfect Christmas and a Run too.

Merry Christmas a day late!  The kids and I had a fun time Christmas eve delivering Christmas goodies to family and neighbors and singing Christmas Carols in the morning. We drank lots of apple cider and hot chocolate and ate lots of goodies!

My husband and I had our parents and my big sister's family over for appetizers.  First we managed to get a family photo with the self timer on my camera

The kids were having a hard time sitting still since they got to open one present as soon as the pictures were done!

Lil Cowboy played some cribbage with my Dad

the Grandmas visited

and us girls, plus my niece, played rummy.

Christmas day we kept it low key.  We opened presents, ate breakfast, put together presents etc.

I even got in a heavenly much needed 10 mile run while everyone else watched movies.  It was one of those runs where I was feeling like I could run all day.  I think Cola was pleased with it too.  I didn't get a picture of it, but we had a white Christmas and the run was beautiful!
