This Holiday Season

I haven't been the best at posting lately. It has been so busy with various holiday parties and many other things that the time seems to just get away from me!
Here is a rapid catch up of my holiday happenings!

 My sisters and our husbands did the Gobble Gallop on Thanksgiving morning. 
 Although it was freezing and I was/am totally out of shape and hadn't run for months...it was a good way 
start of the day of overindulgence. 
 I'm not typically a huge meat fan - but this turkey was out.of.control GOOD. 
 I can't get enough of my sweet new niece Elayne...hubs obviously can't either!
She is the life of the party (at least her older cousin thinks so - well everyone thinks so). 
 My favorite part of Thanksgiving is that it marks the time when it is appropriate to turn on the Christmas music and decorate the house. It was especially fun getting to decorate our new house this year. It was also fun to get to finally put up the trees we bought last year at the end of the season (after a longggg debate with hubby he finally conceded and allowed us to get get fake trees instead of the trouble-making real ones!)
 Although I'm already dreading taking down these trees in a few weeks it was so fun decorating with the fire blazing and music blaring. 
 Another one of my favorite parts of the holiday season...getting to dress these sweet pups in their Santa and Mrs. Claus outfits. This is still one of my favorite Christmas finds! It hasn't been cold enough for them to wear them often...but we at least got one night out of them so far and just enough time for a photo op. 
 Being tempted by treats. 
 Again, we haven't been able to have too many fires because it has been too warm - I'm thinking winter is finally making it's way to us though so here's to many more this season!
 Hubby went to a Pacer's game a few weeks ago and took that time to walk around the circle downtown and enjoy the lights and some South Bend Chocolate Company treats (ice cream for hubs and chocolate covered strawberries for me).
 LOVE him!
SO handsome...and not just because I'm his wife!
