Christmas weekend...

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!!! Mine was just how I like it. Very low-key, lots of Christmas cookies, and awesome gifts with my name on them :-)

Seriously, this weekend went by WAY too fast. I was able to sleep in a bit on Christmas morning eve, and then Scott and I got trapped into drinking coffee and watching The Dog Whisperer. There was a marathon of the series going on and we couldn't pull away...

Even Ben started watching TV. I think The Dog Whisperer is his favorite show because he gets really close to the screen and wags his tail whenever any dogs on the show start barking. It's more fun to watch him watching the TV then watching the actual show!

Finally we pulled away and rode our Mukluks around for 2 hours. It had snowed the night before so I finally got to ride on some white stuff. It was awesome.
Afterwards I went for a 50 minute run with my BFF Juli, got some more coffee, ate dinner with my parents and then did some present wrapping.

There's something that you should know about me and wrapping presents. I hate it! I'm just way too impatient to make them look good.I was in charge of our adopt-a-family at work this year too, which means I had to wrap a lot more gifts then usual. By the time I got to Scott's presents I was especially unmotivated.

I had to laugh about the present on top. In my own defense I ran out of wrapping paper, and it's the thought that counts anyways, right???
On Christmas morning I woke up early and was running around Reed's Lake with my mom by 8:00 a.m. It was awesome. For December it was unseasonably warm (39 degrees) and there was zero traffic out. Afterwards we grabbed some coffee and I came home to Scott making banana pancakes. Yum! I ate enough for a small army and then hopped on my Mukluk for a 4-hour ride. Once again I had the roads almost completely to myself. I loved it.

Today it's all about recovery. I'm tired from working out over the weekend and I'm exactly one Christmas cookie away from falling into a cookie coma!
