8 early miles @ an 8:14 pace and then I came home to some grumpy kiddos;). My brother and his kids slept over and we all stayed up way too late.
Once the Costco chocolate muffins were brought out, the frowns turned upside down.
Brooke and Andrew had to leave at about 6 in the morning but somehow Brooke was wide awake.
Brooke loves to Facetime.
Cousins all afternoon.
My brother always picks up the good stuff when he is in town.
Andrew got home from a long day of flying and airports.
We had a big taco bar for 27 people!
My 1st of 2 taco salads.
Skye is going to grow up thinking this niece is her big sister.
It kind of felt like Brooke was with us because my niece looks so much like her!
Everyone tested out my weighted blanket (that I swear by… I sleep so much better with it) and a few went out and bought one afterwards (but two people hated it because it made them feel claustrophobic).

Good luck! I hope you get to refuel all that you are doing today with some delicious holiday foods:) Have a great weekend!
Elizabeth
Just want to put in a plug for a weighted blanket. I bought one for myself a few weeks ago and it’s fantastic. I sleep more deeply and wake up more rested. Highly recommend! It is quite insulating so I use it as the only blanket or I get too hot.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Oh I am so happy you have one and love it! Seriously … I keep wondering how I slept without it before! It’s amazing and getting good sleep makes the rest of the day better too. Have a wonderful weekend Elizabeth!
Jo
1) Run/walk four dogs – my two and my daughters two – I’m dog sitting for her! 2) Vacuum up dog hair! 3) plan and shop for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals. It’ll be a great day!
The Hungry Runner Girl
4 pups today! You are BUSY! Let me know what you end up making for both meals! Have a wonderful day Jo!
Wendy
I have a 7 mile run first, then walk the dog, then some last cleaning to get done.
But tonight we get to have an early Christmas at my sister-in-law’s! Her boys will be with their dad for Christmas, so this will give them a chance to be with all of this side to celebrate ?
Your niece and Brooke do look a lot alike!
Enjoy your day with your family!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Oh enjoy the party tonight Wendy! So glad you guys all get to celebrate! Thank you!!!

Hollie
Despite being grumpy it sounds like you guys had a good time. I’m craving tacos now though.
I think we are celebrating my husband’s birthday if he gets back today.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Oh I hope he is able to get back today so you can celebrate! Go get some tacos:) Have a great weekend Hollie!
Amy
With food for that many people, you have to end up with leftovers, right?? What’s your process for cleaning up and storing the leftovers?? Inquiring minds want to know!! They also want links to storage containers ?
The Hungry Runner Girl
The funny part is we really only had some chicken left over… my brother in law goes through at the end and just makes a huge pile of food and eats it (no joke… my sister and I calculated it one time and he eats 6-10k calories a day) so he usually takes care of the leftover ha! But I DO love these ones:

Michele at Everyday Snapshot
1. My one year old granddaughter is wearing us out ! In a good way. ha. 2. Finish up the final Christmas gift shopping. 3. And tidying up the house, hopefully a short run on the treadmill and going to bed early, I hope.
AmandaM
I think I’d be with the claustrophobic people?. No desire to try your weighted blanket (hee!) but so glad YOU like it!
It seems so perfect that your brother’s family arrived just as Brooke had to leave. I feel like distraction is a great remedy sometimes :-)
I hope you all Enjoy each other’s the company!
I am at the library because I find it so peaceful wondering about aisles. Now I am on my way home for the second dog hike of the day with friends?
Loribeth
I could eat tacos everyday!
3 things: pizza at home (after my run), watching a Christmas movie, and doing our first Christmas in the morning!
Eva
I raced today! It was quite windy but it went well. We had friends over for dinner and we had tacos as well. They have four kids too, but theirs are much younger than ours. (our youngest are 15, their youngest is almost 2) They left after desert/coffee, so now we’re enjoying the peace and quiet and a bit of tv.
Andrea
Well its the end of the day now but I …
-worked at the hospital all day
-ran 6 km
-ordered groceries online
