This year was my first Christmas spent away from my parents. It was a big change but they are actually coming up to visit this week to see our new house so I’m excited about that.
Since Tim’s birthday was on Saturday, we drove over (neither up nor down…just straight across) to PA on Friday afternoon. We were lucky he had from Friday afternoon to Thursday am off. (He has to work today). Anyways we drove to his parent’s house and I always enjoy seeing them and his entire family. I’m so lucky they are a part of my life as well as his whole family is so caring and welcoming!
He seemed to have a good birthday on Saturday. We relaxed, hung out, went for a nice (hilly) run and went to a Japanese hibachi/steak house called Aki. It was good though I was disappointed (I don’t think he was) that people didn’t come obnoxiously sing happy birthday. They did give him a piece of cheesecake though with a candle.
We spent the next few days preparing for Christmas. Not doing too much but wrapping presents, going for multiple hilly runs and just hanging out.
We went for some mountain and hilly runs. I had a very productive week of running while on vacation. All of our training runs were filled with hills. Today is a well deserved rest day.
We sat and drank eggnog in front of the fire.
On Christmas Eve, we all decided to go to White tail mountain for some skiing. By we, I mean Tim and his father went skiing and his mom and I watched and drank starbucks. Lord knows I’m clumsy without two sticks attached my feet. It was a lot of fun watching and hanging out and a great way to spend Christmas Eve.
Christmas was spent enjoying time and being together. Tim’s sister has recently had a baby and they came over. She is too adorable. Speaking of awesome, look at what Tim’s sister made both Tim and I. How cool are these coffee mugs?
I actually wrote this post in the car ride back to NJ and then posted it when I got home…look at me go using my time wisely.
