Last night a handful of girlfriends and I spent a few hours together for dinner and to celebrate our annual Secret Santa gift exchange. It was a generally low-key evening, but so nice to continue our little tradition with my favorite ladies. We exchanged gifts and laughs. These women are my lifeline! I hope I'm able to come home every year to partake in the tradition.
Hubby and I slept in this morning. We woke up slowly and finally ended up at our favorite hole-in-the-wall breakfast joint, Annie's Breakfast and Steaks, where we stuffed ourselves full of bacon and eggs and strawberry french toast. Afterward, we took the pups for a long leisurely walk by the river to work off the hash browns. It was a spot near the dam that I'd been to a few times to fish with my dad when I was younger. It was nostalgic and the weather was warm enough that we didn't freeze. Behr even got into the cold, quick water ankle deep. He's such a lab.
And now here we lay...
Apparently the anticipation of getting right home to finish our chores was enough to wear us out. We got home and flopped onto the bed for some much needed quiet time. When we finally conjured up enough energy, we got up and finished decorating the Christmas tree. Now it's done and it makes me so very happy. If only the gifts could wrap themselves.
Cute tree!
