Merry Christmas

Good morning and Merry Christmas!! I hope you are all having a great Christmas! We had a great one here. We hosted Christmas Eve so we had a house full. We had so much yummy food that I am not even sure if my 50 races will take these pounds off!

I cooked a Pork Belly or Porchetta, Italian-style, for the first time ever. I could not believe how good it turned out!! It was really easy too!! I put a couple of pictures of it below. I also tried to make these pine cone looking Christmas trees but they did not come out so great so I did not serve them last night. Check them out.

I also have to show you these adorable things my friend Barbara gave me!! She is so thoughtful and remembered how much I love pink!!

Well, Chris and I plan to get out for a run today to get started on burning a few calories. I hate running in the cold but at the same time, I wish it was a White Christmas!! It is the one time of year I don't mind the cold. The snow is always beautiful. I love when it snows at night and you go out at around 10 or so at night and no one is out and it is super quiet and sparkling everywhere!!! That is my favorite time after a snow!!

Well, I won't spend a lot of time writing today because I am sure everyone will be busy with festivities!! We are going to have a quiet and easy day today. We stayed up until 12:30 cleaning last night and then woke up at 4:30 so maybe I will do something I have never been able to accomplish, take a nap!!

Well, here are a few pictures from last night. I hope you are all having a great Christmas and Santa was good to you!!
