Christmas Eve Festivities

We treated today as Christmas, as we're traveling tomorrow. Sam doesn't know the difference, so it seemed to make sense. We woke up, opened presents, ate breakfast, let Sam play with her toys for a while, and then, what else? Went swimming! Then we came home and ate some more :-)

Ryan and I finally got out for a run around 3pm. I thought I would take Ryan along the path by the river to the River Lodge and then back via the Nature Trail and the roads. It was evident almost immediately that Ryan was not really feeling it, but then it went from bad to worse, and the last few miles were a slow shuffle, and rather painful for him, I know. Not exactly a cheery run together like I had planned. Ah well. Hopefully after a little more rest, Ryan will be back to feeling like his old self! :-)

We finished up the evening by watching a beautiful sunset out the back door, and enjoying a delicious dinner followed by yummy gingerbread and cookies. It has been a great visit here at my parent's house, and we have all had a lot of fun! Thanks, Mom and Dad, for having us! And Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
