Christmas 2013

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas this year! (For those of you who celebrate.  If not, hope you had a very happy holiday too!)  Scott and I had a lot of fun this year having our second Christmas together in our little apartment.  We've had so much fun setting up our tree together, making goodies for our friends and neighbors, and trying to be sneaky about surprising each other with presents.  


For Christmas Eve, we went to my sister's house for a big family dinner.  She made prime rib, baked potatoes, spiced carrots, and our traditional Christmas drink (sprite and cranberry juice).  I've always loved Christmas dinner way more than Thanksgiving dinner so I look forward to it every year.  After dinner, we had fun laughing and opening presents with my nieces and nephew and ate tons of yummy pie.

 On Christmas morning, Scott and I made breakfast together and opened presents.  In our stockings, he got me Les Miserables (which he hates) and I got him the Hobbit (which I hate).  It was a sign of true love.


I loved these Steve Madden boots that Scott surprised me with
Scott surprised me this year with a zumba workout game for our xbox kinect.  I seriously spent 2 hours dancing to it in our living room! I got him NCAA football for our xbox (he's obsessed with football and loved it).  I also got a Gymboss timer so I can do Tabata workouts at home now.  Can't wait to come up with some new, fun workouts for you guys.  I hope you all had a very merry Christmas too!  Scott has the week off this week so we get to spend lots of time together for our "staycation" for the rest of the week.

    Looks like your holiday was amazing. We aren't a big present family, but I had tons of fun spending time with them.

      Thanks Abby! I think spending time together during the holidays is always more important than presents. Scott and I are actually thinking of just doing stockings next year instead of lots of presents.

      Thanks Erin! I'm so excited about my Gymboss! I know, I went to go see the new Hobbit with Scott as a trade off for him coming to the Nutcracker with me and I couldn't sit through it. I had to leave the theater haha. Hope you had a great holiday too!

    Glad you had a fabulous time! Everyone looks so happy :) Favourite gift I gave was perfume to my bf's Mom because she never treats herself and favourite gift received was a homemade scarf!
