Triangle Park

Today we went to Triangle Park in downtown Lexington. It was a nice night out. Not too cold. They had an Ice skating rink outside with christmas music playing. It was really cute and festive. We really enjoyed it. 

Me and my Gringo Bello!!

 They always have the same expressions..its pretty funny

 My favorite one 

she doesn't like pictures sometimes lol

The little things

What makes Kiara happy:

Painting, coloring, drawing and reading are her most favorite things to do!! She's such a creative and artsy little girl. Love it.

Playing with mommies things

Yummy cupcakes and when Daddy comes home from work and brings them for her. (Don't worry, I make sure to take off all the top and frosting...way too much sugar)

Friends..especially hanging out with boys. She gets along with them better.

Playing at the park..she loves the park.

X-Mas just around the corner

I can't believe how December has creeped up on us and its almost Christmas. So much to do...I don't even have a meal planned out for that day. Pinterest here I come!!!. Pinterest has done so much for me and its made me pretty crafty at times. Didn't know I could be that crafty cuz in reality I'm not. Either that or I'm lazy!!! I prefer lazy!! Lol.

Anyways me and Joshua resurfaced an old coffee table we found at an antique store and made it into a chalkboard coffee table. It came out great and kid friendly too. We love it!! After we aced that project we are in search for more stuff to work on..that was fun.

Elf on the shelf has been so much fun kiara loves her Lily!! And I love seeing her face in the mornings. Overall it's been a fun little thing to do for Christmas. It's been so nice being here in Lexington! I know it won't last living here because well most likely move again. But living here has been pretty chill and comfy and I have met some wonderful people too.

                

Kiara has put this table to good use and so have we!!

Donuts anyone??

My sweet little keeks and elf having some yummy donuts together

This is the crafty Lily..yes and a fresh homemade outfit too. We made her more fancy and girly looking.

This was just this morning!! SOmetimes i'm too lazy to dress up and go run or workout outdoors, so I workout at home. She quickly pulled out the yoga mat..she's so fun!!

Lilys adventures

It's been so fun doing this for kiara! She loves Lily the elf

So fun!!

Today was such a great morning! I'm still in runners high and I feel like I can't stop talking. Running is such an awesome drug haha. I ran with some friends and I got to meet new runners as well. We ran 8 intense miles, full of steep hills. Gosh I need to work on hills because they killed me this morning and not only that but I had done a leg and glute workout the day before so it really hurt. In a good way though. We ran all the way to Keeneland where our 5K was at and idk how I finished that because I was so low on fuel. My legs wanted to just give out. Next time I'm going to force myself to eat in the morning and not sleep at 1am the night before a long run. Such a bad idea but I'm done with it and it was a lot of fun just being around friends and runners. Such a good start to this weekend.

Great friends

Ernie and I...he's ran so many marathons..I admire him so much. He's a powerhouse

A great running group..its been so nice to be a part of it.

Lily the Christmas Elf

Greeting from Lily the Christmas Elf! She has arrived. I'm happy to start this tradition and I thank my mother in law for sending it to us. I wasn't going to do it this year but Sheila said she's at the perfect age. So now let the fun days begin.

Oh christmas tree...oh christmas tree!!

While we put up our fake little tree the other night, Joshua goofed around with iMovie for the first time and made this cute and cheesy video for our close friends and family. We are planning to make more of these fun videos just  because they were so much fun to do!!. It was hard for me to be serious though...I don't do serious lol. I repeat: THIS IS A LOW QUALITY SHORT FILM----DON"T JUDGE bahaha!! we had such a blast and I was laughing my head off because my husband wanted me to be serious in the parts where I had to explain why Christmas is special to me. I tend to laugh when I have to be serious...then I end up looking like a dork haha.
