Thursday Things and the End of a Challenge

Hi everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. Our blog has taken a little hiatus the past two days ( which I'm sure many of you have too). We are not quite back into full blogging mode yet but thought we would just share a few things from the past couple of days.

     

My husband and I saw this sign on our way home on Christmas Eve and thought maybe there would be a chance we might have a white Christmas, but it didn't happen!

Regardless of whether or not there was snow, we all had a wonderful day!

Even our dogs like Disney gifts so Santa thought this Tigger was perfect!

Aren't these the cutest dog biscuits you've ever seen?

 

 I didn't get a puppy for Christmas, but someone did! Isn't he adorable?

 

 

Even though I got to see my sister this weekend, this was the first time ever that I did not get to spend Christmas day with her. It was kind of sad not seeing her on Christmas morning but I did get to talk to her on the phone for over two hours, so all is well!

Today is the last day of the #RunChatHunt scavenger hunt challenge. Lacey was able to find all the things on the list during her runs, but I am missing one item. I am doubtful I will be able to complete it but I do have several hours left, so we shall see!    ~M

What did you do on Christmas eve and Christmas day?
Did you work? Did you blog?
Did you stay away from your devices?

Jingle Bell Team Challenge

My sister and I both signed up for the Jingle Bell Team Challenge through U.S Road Running and since this was the first time we have been together since the Wicked 10K, we thought we would use this weekend to complete it!

Since we still had some snow on the ground, it was a perfect day to dress up in our red and green, and listen to Christmas tunes as we ran!

We also had a few more things we each had to check off of our #RunChatHunt list. So we took pictures of those along the way.

                                         Lacey needed to get a picture of a holiday inflatable!

I still needed to get a picture of a farm animal.  They didn't say it needed to be real, so the animals in this manger display will have to do!


We completed our mileage and promptly took a picture with our shiny new medals!

 

 I love themed medals. And the ones for this challenge were just too cute!

 

Thank you U.S Road Running!

 

 

I also tried to make gingerbread cookies this weekend ( My first attempt).

 I wanted to  make Mickey cookies, but the ones that did not turn out I turned into puppy dogs!


 We also went to see the Disney movie "Saving Mr. Banks". I highly recommend it.  ( Just a tip: make sure you stay for the ending credits. There is some really cool stuff to be seen/heard)


Did you run this weekend? Did you do any baking?
