Howdy Ya'll! Hope everyone's Christmas was great. Mine was. We had a great time watching Grace open her gifts, and my gifts, and David's gifts, and anyone else's she could get her hands all over. She also liked emptying everyone's "Socks". She really is at that age to thoroughly enjoy it.

We had my family over: Mom, Mom's boyfriend, Brother. David cooked a fantastic meal and we had some incredible wine. It was relaxing and a nice time.

Santa brought Grace a kitchen, a Dora tent, Dora castle and a bunch of other smaller items. She ran hard down the hall once she saw the kitchen.



She had such a long day of opening the gifts, that she fell asleep in her tent.


As for me, I received some books, music, movies, and a new Dooney... David really knows my purse taste, thankfully! :-) It's big enough for me to carry all that I need plus all of Grace's stuff she hands me when we're out. Me likey.


Since Saturday, we've painted 3 rooms - our bathroom (cocoa), our room (olive), and Grace's new room (lavender). She outgrew the room she was in, so we've been moving furniture, boxes of stuff, my treadmill out of that room and into her old room and vice versa. It's been a disaster as all the stuff is everyone including our hall, her bathroom, our room. I plan on finishing it all up this weekend, plus decorate her walls. It's been tiring!

I haven't run in a week, but David and I both plan on doing 2 hrs each tomorrow morning of running and let that be our last long run before PF Changs. We leave 2 wks from today. Hard to believe. I still haven't called Garmin to return mine and hope that they hook me up. So, I'll just wear my old watch and just do an hr out and hr return.

I don't know about ya'll, but I'm glad the season is over with. I am now ready to get everything back in the attic, the house projects completed and life return to normal. Well, that's about it for now. It's LATE and I'm turning in. I still need to catch up on blogs and plan on doing that tomorrow after my run. Forgive me for being so matter-of-fact and quite boring. I'm just tired.

You forgot the freakin sweet date night we had tonight, complete with wine bar (awesome Italian wine!), a funny movie (Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story), and back home for another movie, more fantastic wine, and snuggling.

Nice holiday haul, Mendy!

Isn't it cool when they're at the age to enjoy it? Kara had a blast this year. She had us set out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa, along with a few drawings of hers. Santa left her a note in return and a present (almost all the other gifts were already under the tree). She loved it! So fun!
