It's a love-hate relationship

I think many of you can agree with me when I say I have a love-hate relationship with the Holidays.

I love the Holidays because:

  • I get to see my family
  • Christmas lights are pretty
  • I like Christmas music
  • It's a good excuse to relax
  • Christmas goodies like gingersnap cookies and date pinwheels
  • Movie marathons (I watched Grease, Santa Clause 2, A Christmas Story and Eclipse in two days)
I dislike the Holidays because:
  • Traffic sucks
  • Everywhere is busy
  • I eat to many cookies
  • Exercise usually gets put on the back burner
 So needless to say, I had a great Christmas, but glad it's over. Ready to start eating vegetables again and running and lifting regularly. I rode my trainer for 30 minutes and have ran 5 miles since Christmas eve, but I still don't think that negates my impressive eating abilities over the past few days. Hoping to make this week a good one to have a head start into 2011.

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas, or whatever Holiday you're celebrating. :) Here are some photos from my Christmas:
My nephew Grayson and me - albino style cause I obviously don't know how to use my camera...
Minnie Mouse came bearing gifts for baby Jesus too

My Mom does such a good job decorating - really feels like Christmas in the house

Me and my sister Kim
My sister Lindsay and me. Yes, I am wearing antlers
Cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. My nephew picked these cookies as the ones Santa should get. :)
You know you have kids around when there are dinosaurs stuck in the tree at kid height.
