1. I participated in the sock swap that Courtney at Third Time's a Charm Runner hosted. I was lucky enough to have her as my sock sender. Check out my great haul! GU in Tri-berry and Mandarin Orange, Dove chocolates, a huge box of Gobstoppers, Sport Beans, 2 packs of hand warmers, Lindor Chocolates, cute candy cane knee highs and the grand finale was the Lululemon Brisk Run Headband. I am so in love with it.
2. Christmas was good, we went up to the in laws in Ronan which is a 7 hour drive for us. We were going to leave Saturday but with Rance and the kids both having a really bad cold we delayed a day so everyone could heal up a little. Little cowgirl was about over it by then but little cowboy had it pretty bad all weekend. I felt my worst on Christmas Eve and am feeling mostly recovered now., but am still scratchy throated and have the snot going on. Joyous.
The kids and everyone really made out like bandits with lots of great gifts. My little sister was awesome and filled the stockings at home and set out Santa gifts and left a Santa note so that when we got home it looked like Santa had been here. My son had been so worried about that. He did not want to go to Ronan for that reason.

3. We got home around 3 in the afternoon yesterday and this guy was so excited to see us
