Merry Christmas!

Well Christmas is over for another year. I read this column in Newsweek this week by Anna Quindlen that was really good. Take a look here and let me know what you thought!

We had a lovely Christmas, hope you did too! It started off so nicely on Christmas Eve. We (DH, DS and I) went to the church early to help out with a Refugee/New Immigrant Dinner and then stayed for the service.

Michael was in there like a dirty shirt helping serve buns and cleaning up after. And he's not even a member nor an attender! After the service a member of the church (who saw the articles in the paper on our 20th Las Vegas Renewal and said "I didn't know you were married") came over to meet Michael and say how nice it was to see him at church. And after church Connor said how nice it was for his Dad to come to church.

After church we went to my SIL's for some nibbles and that was nice too!

Christmas my MIL came for the day and we had a nice time. We also went for a run early in the day before MIL came over which was great! Dinner was good and Connor enjoyed his presents BIG time! Michael and I only exchanged small gifts as Las Vegas and the family we sponsored were our gifts to each other.

Today I'm heading out for a 10K my longest run since Vegas. Hope its a good one!

Cheers
