Holiday Weekend Fun

Saturday morning I went to my power yoga class. Earlier in the year, I was really good about going to yoga and I was going at least three times a week. Lately however, I've really fallen off the bandwagon. Rather than going all out (as I usually do) I decided to start out small and just commit to going every Saturday. I've been pretty consistent except for the weekends that we're out of town (or have guests). I love starting my weekend off with a good yoga class - it puts me in the best mood and gets rid of any lingering work-week stress. When I got home, Cary was hard at work raking leaves so I got to work cleaning up our house and vacuuming up puppy hair. The fun of owning a home... ;)

Saturday afternoon, our good friends, the Murphys came over for our second annual holiday dinner along with their adorable baby C. We had a great time talking and catching up, the guys watched football and we were all endlessly entertained by C who is just the sweetest, happiest baby. They stayed the night since they live almost an hour away from us. Sunday morning we decided to try the brunch at Atkins Park. No of us had ever eaten there as it's mostly known as a bar. The food was pretty good - not as good as Murphy's but a MUCH shorter wait, which means a lot when you're standing outside with a baby and it's 40-degrees and windy!


Cary and I spent the rest of Sunday finishing up Christmas shopping. We're pretty much finished now, just waiting on a few packages to arrive. I try to do most of my shopping online as I don't deal very well with the crowded craziness of the mall this time of year! Just four more days of work and then a much-needed week off! Despite the 8 hour drive, I'm really looking forward to being home in Richmond for the holidays and spending time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday!

I would like to wish my beautiful, smart and sweet little sister a very happy birthday today!! I hope you have a wonderful day and I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
