The big day has finally arrived! Christmas morning---the day children wait all year for. This year did not disappoint. We went to bed on Christmas Eve not completely sure if we made it on the Nice List so we were soooo excited and soooo surprised when we came down in the morning and saw that Santa had come.

Christmas brunch was back at the Carolina Inn. After 5 years of going for this meal, this was the first time that I felt like complaining. The food wasn't great and our table was the worst in the building. I think I will search for a new place for next year. After lunch the kids and I went for our annual walk around the neighborhood while Oscar went for a run.

The week between Christmas and New Years was pretty uneventful. In order to get my workouts in I took the kids to a new drop in childcare center which they absolutely love and are constantly begging to visit. We also spent one afternoon playing in the pool at the Wellness Center and another afternoon playing at Walker's preschool playground.
Then it was New Year's Eve and time for our annual fancy party. This year was a struggle for me. I just felt like staying in my sweats and watching the last of the Hallmark Christmas movies. But I rallied and managed to put on a dress and light some sparklers. New Years day had the kiddos in the pajamas all day. For the first time that I can recall there was no Rose Parade on January 1st due to that being on a Sunday but we still had our New Years stone crab claws along with our southern traditional black-eyed peas and greens. And I slowly started taking down all the Christmas decorations. Really it's the saddest day all year for me.
Now it's time to get serious about my marathon training and focus on Boston in April! Happy New Year all!!!
