Sleep in Heavenly Peace

What happens at 6:30PM when Case wakes up at 6AM and won't take a nap. The excitement of Christmas could only keep him awake so long.

2 DAYS!!!!!!

We just made cookies for Santa so we're moving right along. I'm so excited!!!!! I actually had a hard time falling asleep last night cause I was imagining Christmas morning. What a dork I am!

Russ (and all of us) made these awesome "sweet sushi" boxes and treats for our neighbor gift this year. It was super fun.

Whatever...he's almost 2...totally old enough to be the saw-holder when we cut down the Christmas tree. I'm the best mom ever

LOOK AT THAT!! Not just the adorable kids, but also the gorgeous world. We live in the most beautiful place on earth.

I've started selling my hair pretty's a little bit. If you need any...I'm here...and not ridiculously priced like so many are.

Russ and I went to Claim Jumper on our anniversary. Russ got ribs and I got this pasta thing. So then we got this awesome cake too. We NEVER get dessert at restaurants so it was fun. I had only eating 100 calories all day (I was saving my calories for dinner) and I had burned 650 calories on the treadmill that morning so I was feeling pretty good about it. Then Russ (darn him) happened to see the calorie chart!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH. My pasta was 2600 calories. I didn't eat the whole thing, but still!!! The cake was 3600 calories. Again, I only ate one layer and there were 6. BUT STILL!!!! I was nauseous for two days thinking about the number of calories that went into my body in a 60 minute period. Needless to say, I've been running 5 miles every day this week trying to work it off.
