Christmas morning started with a 2 mile run and 8 minute abs. Then pecan rolls! And a green smoothie. I figured I should at least get some nutrients since I wasnโt going to get any later
My dad, stepmom, and brother came over, then we all opened our gifts. I got so many nice things from my mom and โSanta!โ
In the past I would have then went to play piano at the local community dinner. They didnโt ask me to play this year, so I was kind of upset about it. So I headed to my step-grandparentsโ house.
For a while I was sitting there sulking. I was angry that my Christmas tradition was broken. I know, itโs not actually a big deal. Finally, I just decided to enjoy what I did have, which was time to spend with family. My day became so much better!
My step-grandparents are awesome. (He is the one that helped me grow a garden). They got me an iPod shuffle!
From there I went to my grandma and grandpaโs house. Our dinner wasnโt very fancy, it was rather simple. Only 4 dishes.
Broccoli rice casserole, shrimp salad, rolls, and ham. Yes, that is a piece of ham on my plate. I took one bite, but I just donโt like it! At least I tried it!
The family. After this I went to my other grandmaโs house. It was nice to visit with her. I played the piano for her and ate way too many peanut butter blossoms. Cookies are always better when theyโre not from your house. I just realized I didnโt take any pictures there!
Finallyโฆ last stop! I went to my dadโs house. I had presents from Santa there, too, and I got what Iโve been waiting forโฆ
YAY! Itโs the Garmin Forerunner 610. I tried it out yesterday morning and it worked great! No more MapMyRun
Another present:
Does this not look divine?!
Then it was finally time for bed. Iโm a busy girl on Christmas! Thatโs not a bad thing though. I have so much family that I get to see. I am blessed with a wonderful life and I wouldnโt trade it for anything!
I hope you all had a perfect Christmas.
What did you make for breakfast on Christmas morning?
What is your favorite present this year??
I love your recap posts! Looks so fun
And OMGG! Yayy for the garmin 


Agreed- I loooovve pecan rolls. I kinda gave up eating healthy at all on Christmas hehe-there were too many amazing things!

Itโs totally okay to say bye bye to healthy eating at Christmas โ all about moderation right?
I will admit though, eating all of this sugar has made me crave some clean, healthy eats!
Wow you were spoiled this Christmas! You donโt have any siblings, do you? I remember I was always so jealous of my โonly childโ friends because they got so many more presents than I did.
That Garmin looks SO nice! Iโm jealous!

Mmmm look at those pecan rolls! And your shoes are so cool!!!!!!!!!!! Jealous.
I didnโt know you played piano, thatโs really awesome. I used to play!


Have fun with your Garmin, they are amaazzinng!! When I first got mine, I would go out on runs just to say that I used it , haha. Iโm glad you had such a wonderful, blessed Christmas.

Iโve been playing piano since I was 5
the Garmin is making me actually want to go on runs haha! Iโm sure it will wear off eventually, but as of right now Iโm loving heading out into the cold!
Both Christmas Eve from your last post AND Christmas day look wonderful! Iโm sorry you didnโt get to play at the community dinner this year. Iโm sure you do a beautiful job โ they donโt know what theyโre missing out on! Oh well, their loss! Iโm glad you still ended up having a good Christmas. You already know that I got a Garmin too! Iโm so glad you like yours, Iโm loving mine too!
Have a great Friday!!
