A good start to the holiday weeks

On Friday, we had an impromptu happy hour gathering at Megan's house...Tracy and I turned it into dinner & drinks before Megan even got home from work :) It was all good. Many many glasses of wine were drank and 3 pizza's were consumed!


Saturday, we went on a 6mile hour long run in preparation for Carrie's White Elephant Party later on in the evening. We also had a lot to do for the trip home, we got the car all set, cleaned the house and wrapped the presents. Hopefully I'll be able to get Tuesday off so we don't have to leave for Michigan at 6pm when I get off of work...that will suck big time if I can't.

The Boulder girls thought it was a boot & skirt night :)


Tracy got back at me for always making bunny ears behind someone


Dan showed off his new haircut....he was still steaming in this pic after his cool flask got taken in the white elephant gift exchange.

Sunday, we were going to go snowboarding up at Eldora but the temps were going to be in the single digits and that didn't sound to appealing to us. Instead, we slept in and went on a 1 1/2 hr run...we had planned on a 2hr run but the loop we did just wasn't long enough. We capped off the run with some hot cocoa and some super duper spiked egg nog!


Later we made mint vanilla chip cookies.


Then some shrimp & sausage jambalaya.


I have to work Monday...boooooooo! But hopefully I can get Tuesday off....finger crossed!

Unfortunately we won't be bringing our bikes with us to Michigan, just the running shoes and maybe the snowshoes. Lucky for us, there's plenty of trails to run on paved or dirt so we won't be missing out there. I'm so looking forward to hanging out with my family and friends and FINALLY getting to eat some good middle eastern food! The one thing I've missed living out here (besides missing everything else back home) is really really really good middle eastern food!

Happy Holidays and be safe!
