christmas festivities.

christmas eve started with a lovely trip to the gym for a run and body pump.  yesss.
then claire and i had a lovely visit at her place.
then i headed over to g.ma's to help her get everything ready.
the resat of the family joined a couple of hours later.  it was fabulous.
we ate hor d'oeuvres. i had some mini lemon and raspberry/blackberry cheesecakes {there were some other mini desserts too}.  we exchanged gifts.  we played with Luke and Ila. we chatted. we laughed.

and the sun was out. all day!

christmas morning was lovely.
i went for a nice, long run before everyone was awake.
i came home to a delicious breakfast, just out of the oven.
we ate. we read the Christmas story from the Bible. we opened our Santa gifts.
he brought me a camera. finally--no more phone pictures.
we went to aunt julie's to be with the fam again. it was so fun.
i had a cookie. never a good idea here. and then i had like 6 more.

 eh?

oh, g.ma.
always so entertaining.

Church today was wonderful.
always is.
Sunday is my favorite day of the week.

luuuuke!
he's so precious.
he looooves fans. fascinated by them.
i love his little outfit.
and his little smile.
i love when kids try and "smile"--so cute!!

we had some fun.

whoa, whoa, whoa. what is going on here?



mike and i fell asleep. 



dana's hair looks like my hair. so it looks long.
and i love it.
unfortunately, i will never have long hair.




 and then i rolled off the bed {purposely} and hit my head on the night stand. i said, "i need stitches" but really i was just being dramatic. instead i made erin get me an ice pack because i kept saying, "i'm going to get a gooooose eggggg!" but i didn't. i'm fine.



and then we ate a lovely dinner.
we played a lovely new game called FUNGLISH that i am making for my students tomorrow.
and then dana, erin, and i had journal sunday {we read our old journal entries. they are hilarious}.
and theeeeennnn...i fell asleep on the couch again {yes, i did twice on christmas: nap and night}.


and now i'm going to bed.
