Let the Good Times Roll....

What a WONDERFUL Christmas we had this year!! Most people get depressed when it's all over-- but not me-- i'm always moving forward :) NYE next weekend for Quinny's 21st is just on the horizon, as is 2012!!! :) BRING IT ONNNN! Before I slam full speed ahead, i'll jog you through some Christmas Weekend shananigans.


Steph & Jason came to town on Friday & we had a wonderful festivus at good ol' Classics in Westerville. Surprisingly we didnt see 100 people from our high schools days--whew--and to follow Classics we decided to celebrate the Eve of Christmas Eve by driving through the 'Festival of Lights' at Alum Creek. Steph & I are always obnoxious the stars of the show in comparrison to our meek husbands, so once again, they were prolly fed up with us by the end of the night. Oh well--we had fun :)

We jumped out of our car & 'broke the rules' for this shot, big shock. I'm more surprised our husbands didnt drive off & leave us standing there....

I was pretty impressed with this cascading light bridge display....

Great times had by all!! Seeing them for Thanksgiving AND Christmas sure made for an awesome holiday season. Oh, and my gift from Steph was a gorge Kate Spade bangle bracelet. Lurrrvv. To add to that bracelet, Blair got me a GORGE Michael Kors (obsession) chunky roped gold bracelet (was on my Pinboard on Pinterest). The poor (smart) guy had to ask my Mom how to find the site, sign on & find ideas of what I wanted. Good thing she's addicted to it & knows just the place & how to's....



Next on the agenda was Christmas Eve & Christmas morning at The Albright's. Lovely living only a mile down the road from them these days! We didnt have alot of drive time this holiday whatsoever, which made for a GREAT Christmas. We did midnight mass Christmas Eve/brunch the next am and got in a great catnap before Christmas night with my immediate family at Mom's house. Highlight of the Albright's this year: I officially have my own stocking to join the clan <3 Oh, & Blair stumbling across Cody's firefighter jacket for some hilarious 'modeling' pics. REAAARRRR...

Bowchicawowwow..

Mom & Dad's Christmas was wonderful as well this year. Always great gifts & good times. Best Gift Awards there come from Grandma Binion with 2 story books made for future children. One is all about 'The Misadventures of Mollie B' (her childhood memories turned into adventure stories) & another book that's her voice recorded actually reading the book. I couldnt flip past page 4 without bawling. Will try again later :) Mom & Dad got Blair & I a washer & dryer for the new pad which is awesome b/c that's def one of those things you hate to buy yourself. An obviously practical gift that we both love. Future Munchkin Baby Little was already receiving gifts which was hilarious, excited to invision having a 6 month old niece/nephew this time next year <3


Always thankful for a wonderful, blessed, safe and joyous Holiday Season!! Now, for some detox & healthy eating adjustments this week + TONS of water. It's time to get back in the saddle and get this bod right! I hope you all had an amazing holiday filled with lots of love & laughter. Onto the New Year.....
