Super Saturday: New Christmas Décor!

This morning I ran 10 miles through the hilliest neighborhood ever.  I mean, these hills made me think profanities in my head…and I don’t even cuss.

I was supposed to run 15, but I was bored. Cold. And a little lonely. Since my parents were coming over, I  decided to just cap it at 10 and plan to run 5 tomorrow to make up for it. 

Mom & Dad came over to hang out for a little while and bring me some goodies while Jon & one of his best buddies, Zack, hung Christmas lights.

Here are the newest additions to my Christmas décor:

And the boys outside doing what men do (with some help from my niece):

I LOVE weekends.

Hi! Found you from Hanna's blog. :)

Okay. The first line of this post cracked me up. Traffic in my city almost makes me do the same. ;) I'd say running does but...
1) I don't run.
2) There are no such thing as hills in Miami. Ha!

Love your Christmas decor. Come to my house next? Please? :)

Left you a comment over at Bouffe e Bambini!
