A trip to Provo Bakery for a Christmas donut is always a must for us.
We had a real tough time deciding between the cookies and the donuts though.
7 miles on the treadmill and the very top of my IT Band always acts up a bit when I run a lot on the treadmill… time to foam roll!
Rewind to when we woke up—> It was a complete white-out… you can barely even see a pole because it was snowing so hard!
I’m in charge of Christmas morning breakfast for my whole family so Brooke and I attacked the grocery store for the necessities after my run.
I’ll be making the best cinnamon rolls (you can make them the day before, cook them half-way, freeze them and then cook them the rest of the way on Christmas morning) and this casserole!
It is alarming how fast the Brookers and I go through a bag of grapes.
I kind of love wrapping Christmas presents especially while watching Gilmore Girls… everything is all ready to go.
Brooke loves going through this book together that Lindsey gave us for Christmas full of our family pics…
And now we are off to the NORTH POLE, hopefully we don’t actually freeze.
Okay, I have to show you my brother’s family when they went to see Star Wars…

Your brothers family looks adorable! It is 50 degrees here right now, so no chance for snow. It is supposed to get much cooler in the next few days though! I’m a big fan of wrapping Christmas gifts. I always wrap all of my mom’s gifts too. She just has to tell me which ones not to peek in because they are for me! ;)
Denise @ An Academic Athlete
That casserole is such a good idea–I think we might make that as well! We are buying ingredients today for making a ton of Christmas cookies tomorrow–can’t wait! :)

It’s hard for me to even fathom snow at this point. It’s currently pouring rain and 70 here. We normally have some sort of snow on the ground!
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
I’m making cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning for my family also! More snow keeps falling in the mountains here, and I’m glad it doesn’t fall in Seattle!
Jenny
That snow was crazy this morning.
I have been craving a breakfast cassarole. This is going to have to be one for me to try
margaret @ youngandrungry
Hahaha I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the picture of your brother’s family that’s so awesome! I wish my parents were that cool growing up!
I can’t run on the treadmill every much either I feel like my gait gets kind of wonky for some reason.
I’m excited to see how you and Brooke’s cinnamon rolls turn out, I’m sure they’ll be delicious!
Nina
It’s warm, it’s pouring rain and I need to straighten some stuff out before my in-laws come to dinner tomorrow. And yet my give a darn is busted…
I’m going for a run, making dinner and I guess I’ll figure it out from there.
Happy Eve of the Eve.
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures
I wish we had snow here. I’m so jealous! Just a bunch of rain for us in Ohio.
For Christmas breakfast I always make pancakes in the shape of Santa’s face, complete with hat (strawberries and whipped topping) and chocolate chips for eyes and nose. Y

That family picture is so great! I’m also making cinnammon rolls, but a really simple/delicious kind! Just melt butter in a pan, mix with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts if you want. Lay down biscuits on top and bake! SO GOOD!!

I would bring all those bakery treats home

I want those cinnamon rolls!!!!
Sentence for the day: Men are so confusing.
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
I love make ahead casseroles for Christmas morning. We’re still oven-less, so we probably won’t be doing anything too exciting.
My sentence: New running shoes are calling my name! I’m trying to resist :)
Annie

Your brother’s family is awesome. I dropped my 13 year old son and his two friends off at Star Wars tonight. I pick them up in an hour. There was only one person that I saw that was all dressed up!
Mary
I have the most pesky it band pain. It just won’t fade. How long do you foam roll and do you lay on it in the tightest of spots for extra time? I can’t get mine to loosen.
AmandaM
I’m a day late but sentence is : your snow pole picture made me laugh out loud. Thank you :)
Arthi
Love your brother’s family photo!! Should prob be their next Christmas card!
Heidi
Gilmore Girls is the BEST!!
Megan d
Your brother’s family looks amazing, but my favorite picture in this whole post is the one of a pole. Maybe it’s early and I am still tired and loopy after a rough night with felicity, but I am still laughing. You be funny,yo.
Lew
We’re having egg casserole tomorrow too!
Loribeth
I love wrapping gifts! It is one of my favorite things about Christmas. I am super picky with the paper I choose, and I have to get coordinating ribbon to put around it and curl!
Cinnamon rolls sound good!
And even though I prefer warm weather, I am kinda jealous of the snow. It is 70 degrees in TN and rainy………It feels way more like spring than winter. I am wearing shorts to work, and a tank top to run in!
Rachael S
Wow that snow picture I thought was a picture that hadn’t loaded yet! That is so crazy. I wish I could have some of your breakfast casserole it sounds delicious! What a great gift from your friend a book with family photos :)
Taylor
I miss Utah winters!! I love the snow …from inside looking out the window! Your brother’s family looks awesome!!
