Pre Christmas Fun 2012

December 23, 2012 | family, holidays, running, Running Skirts

 

Happy Christmas Eve! What is everyone doing today? Today we will do lots of baking, go to church, watch a Christmas movie, and read the Christmas story and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. I love it.

Yesterday, Bobby and I got up and ran 3.25 miles. We ran 7 on Saturday so we were doing a back to back run to prepare for Goofy. We both feel like we are starting to burn out and get really tight, and don’t want to get injured, so we decided to cut our run short and do lots of stretching instead.  I, of course, was festively dressed.

My dad BBQ’ed and we watched the Saints game my the tree and the fire.

Then my sister came into town, and we all drove about an hour away to my grandmother’s house to visit her and my uncle and have dinner with them. We came home quite tired and just watched some football until bed time. It was nice to spend some quality time with the fam. I hope you all do some unplugging today and spend time with your loved ones.

I leave you with this fun little photo. I apparently did NOT like Santa when I was a baby. He doesn’t seem too thrilled to see me either.

Heh. Merry Christmas eve!

QOTD: Did you love Santa as a baby or were you petrified like me?

    I’m not sure how I responded to Santa as a tiny baby, but I liked him as a little girl! Today’s my birthday, so we will do a little celebrating and go out to lunch and tonight go to my church’s Christmas Eve Service!

    Have a very Merry Christmas!

    There are no pictures of me with Santa before about 12 years old. I was completely terrified. Everyone in the family laughs about how harshly I refused to sit on Santas lap

    I loved Santa when I was younger! Whenever my mom and I were at the mall I’d want to see him every time

Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready for a little more independence… and I’m ready for the peace of mind that comes with her COSMO JrTrack smartwatch. 💛 ad

With real calling, messaging, GPS tracking, and only approved contacts, it’s the 1990s simple we miss—with the 2025 safety our kids need.

The JrTrack is so much more than a smartwatch—it’s about inspiring kid-safe adventures in the real world and giving families the tools for a safer, smarter start. From SOS mode and SafeZones to School Mode for distraction-free learning, she gets freedom, I get reassurance, and we both stay connected every step of the way.

Here’s to letting her explore while knowing she’s protected. 🥹💖
