I did the same :) I love Eric's sorting hat! That's awesome. I also loved Harrison's new tricks.<br /><br />Best eating: Bacon wrapped grilled shrimp that my dad made. Delicious. <br /><br />Funniest moment: I know you're not a fan of dogs, but the funniest moment was when one of my two 100+ pound hound dogs sat down next to the dinner table full of my extended family and farted loud enough for everyone to hear. We all busted out laughing and looked at her and she just looked right back at us like "what?"<br /><br />Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-69734741996849698112014-01-03T10:44:53.454-05:002014-01-03T10:44:53.454-05:00Best eating: The ginger cookies that my Mom made i...Best eating: The ginger cookies that my Mom made in New Jersey, and brought all the way to Singapore. She also left the recipe. I will try to duplicate it, but am making no promises. And the fact that GINGER cookies win the "Best Thing" award is saying a lot about them, because I am VERY partial to chocolate. VERY.<br /><br />Funniest Moment: Playing Catch Phrase with my husband's family. The Catch Phrase that we have has a lot of American expressions and US-specific phrases, and playing with a bunch of Singaporeans was pretty hilarious. And the fact that they didn't know all the words, coupled with my parents' difficulty in understanding their accents, made the whole game entirely more hilarious than appropriate.Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-85704790029737289952014-01-01T18:06:43.651-05:002014-01-01T18:06:43.651-05:00Peanut butter balls and magic cookie bars - both h...Peanut butter balls and magic cookie bars - both holiday treat staples in my family.

It's more just the mindset - if you are approaching the holidays desperately trying to stick to some magazine tips on cutting calories and expending significant mental energy on that, I don't see how you can truly enjoy yourself! Or at least I couldn't!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517428815573698474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-74340293289176638372013-12-30T08:32:26.939-05:002013-12-30T08:32:26.939-05:00I got Mike a shirt for Christmas that says "t...I got Mike a shirt for Christmas that says "there's a word for people who don't have beards: women."

Best food this holiday? Dinner at Fogo de Chao (Brazilian steakhouse), honey glazed ham, twice baked potato salad, regular potato salad, spinach dip, marbled cheesecake, cannolis....all so good. My dad is an awesome cook. But to be fair, I would not be lying if I said I really want some regular veggies now.<br /><br />Your Christmas looks awesome!

One of my Facebook friends just wrote a "Dear Paleo" post about how she got away from it and she and Paleo were going to become friends again. There are a whole bunch of responses about "resetting." It makes me sad when people get all shameful about eating fun things. Enjoy the season and stop beating yourself up about it. It's silly.<br /><br />And on the subject of silly...I laughed out loud at the sorting hat photo. The look on his face is priceless!

I am going to a New Year Eve's party with awesome food. Kim is bringing her famous guacamole so I'm already excited. <br /><br />My funniest moment was seeing the baby get her new slide for Christmas. I can't even count the amount of times she's thrown herself down that thing. Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.com
