I'm going to try and do a brief recap with a ton of photos, which if you're my facebook friend than you've probably already seen most of these photos.

Our last 5K of the season and although it was chilly it was sunny and the race had an incredible turnout. With 451 finishers in the 5K and 94 in the 1 mile fun run the race was a success.
I hadn't been doing a lot of speed work, or running in general. My body has been tired and I've been giving it a much needed a break. I was excited to try this new race and even put the bell they had given us on my shoe so I would "jingle."
I ended up placing 2nd in my age group with a time of 22:31, 3rd place was 22:32. I didn't even realize I had someone so close behind me. Luckily I didn't let her pass me.
We had quite a few of our friends racing as well and everyone had a lot of fun.

Sean raced with his crazy Giants hat
Jami and Ryan won one of the raffle prizes. A DVD player! I was so jealous.
Our friend Janice organized and directed the entire raceher daughter Whitney helped out as well
Saturday, December 12th EWR Holiday Party
After the 5K we drove home showered and drove up to Annapolis for Sean's company holiday party. For the last 5 years they have held it at Lewnes Steakhouse in Annapolis. We always get to get dressed up, which I love to do.

What's a party unless someone gets picked up. I'm picking up Sean's partner's wife
This guy wanted me to try to pick him up, I decided not to try in heels
Sean wanted to switch rings later in the evening
Steve gets a little friendly with Jeff later in the eveningFriday, December 18th Wii Holiday Cheer at JoJo's
Friday evening our friend JoJo invited us over to her place for a little Wii action. We didn't want to miss out on the fun so of course we went. We even brought over our Mario Kart game and controllers so we could play 4 player!
On my drive home from work, before the party, it started snowing. They were predicting 1-3 inches of snow, although we didn't think we would get anything. It was nice to see some flurries and even snow accumulating on the ground. It definitely makes it feel a lot like Christmas.
We didn't realize it was going to be a snuggie party. Apparently I need a snuggie so I'm not left out next time.

Fly, Sean, Fly!
Fly, Sonny, Fly!
Fly, Emily, Fly!
Sean was jealous of all the snuggie action going on, so he borrowed JoJo's
Checking out the snow progress, the most snow I've ever seen in Williamsburg

Brian and Sean stole the snuggies for awhile. Sean styling in the PINK snuggie.
Concentration! Mario Kart Time!
Tried to get a nice photo of Sean and I. Snowflake blocked half of Sean's face.
Snowball fight...Saturday, December 19th Buffalo Wild Wings, Kona Ironman World Championship
Saturday afternoon a group of us headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Kona Ironman World Championship recap. One of our local friends participated and we hoped to catch a glimpse of him. We soon found out that without sound and too many people chatting, it was much harder to pay attention and watch. We hope to find it online so we can actually watch it.

After BWW we drove home, in the snow, since it had started to snow again and got all dressed up for Janelle and Katherine's Christmas Party. Lots of food and good friends, what more could you ask for.

So much fun getting dressed up
Seriously, when Janelle pulled the snuggie out it was classic. Definitely a weekend of snuggies
My husband and I...I LOVE HIM!
Maggie and Molly were so good. They know they aren't allowed in the dining room and they stayed right at the edge of the room.
Posing by the Christmas tree...Audrey's still taller than Janelle and I, even with her shoes off
That's hot!
Smiles!
More Christmas tree photos
Prom Pictures with each other since they couldn't find their boys. They were too busy playing beer pong in the garage.
Love it! Janelle knows how to do the perfect Prom photo.Sunday, December 20th Christmas is in the Air
Sunday was a nice relaxing day. I slept in, did a little laundry and enjoyed a nice breakfast of eggs and bacon made by my amazing husband.
I ventured out of the house shortly to visit Audrey to borrow some beach dresses/cover-ups for Mexico. Less than a week before we'll be laying on the beach!
On the way home I had to take a photo of our house with the snow. I think it looks so pretty with the ground all white, and definitely makes me excited for Christmas.
Yay snow!Yesterday on the way home from Buffalo Wild Wings I had Sean pull into the church parking lot near our house. Last year you might remember that we got a free tree at this same church. My trick is to wait until almost all the trees are gone, and they just leave a pile for free. It's not worth it for the staff to work and sell the trees any longer so they just leave them there.
At first glance it didn't look like there were any trees left. But then I saw one, and I was so excited. Sean told me he didn't think it would fit in my car. I have a small Suburu Impreza. I told him, don't worry it'll fit, and it did. We did have to open the back window, but that wasn't a big deal.
So this afternoon I shook the tree, since it had a ton of dead needles and tried to towel off as much snow as I could. I put it in our tree stand in our front foyer surrounded by towels so it could catch the additional needles and also the snow that would melt on the tree.
By the time this evening came around, the tree was ready to be decorated. I moved it into our living room and told Sean it was time.

Sean was comfortable on the couch and he definitely wasn't interested in decorating a tree. After calling him a scrooge and explaining to him that it's no fun decorating a tree by yourself, he got up and help me trim the tree.
We even put a Fa-La-La-Lifetime movie on while decorating. The things Sean does for me.
After the decorating was complete, the angel goes on top. It always has to be last!
Thanks for helping me decorate Sean! I love it!
Ta-Da!Stacy called me seconds after the photo above was taken and instructed me that I had to open up one of her gifts.
Stacy got Sean and I an ornament for our 1st Christmas married. It's so cute with little reindeer and has our names on the front, and year on the back. Thanks Stacers!As you can tell we've been crazy busy, and it's not slowing down yet. Tomorrow I have my company Christmas party, during work, so that'll be a nice break in the day and than Christmas will be here in less than 5 days! I really can't believe it.
Sean and I than leave for Mexico for Jami and Ryan's wedding in less than a week. I am SO ready to be laying on the beach enjoying the sun. More to come on that trip, hopefully I'll get one more blog in before the trip.

Oh! There it is! Now, if you were standing on the other side of the tree so I could see it bigger than a postage stamp, I'd probably have recognized it the first time I read this post :) Glad it's up!! Love you!
