family | Day With KT

Chris decided to take a day of leave and hang out with us today!!! Yippee! Then he only has to work Thursday and Friday this week – not too bad. I love it when we all hang out together!

For my 43 today (Chris said he didn’t stay home to do 43 of anything – weird – I figured he would like this one!), I wanted to do some type of push-ups. Plyo!!! Jordan likes to do push-up demos usually but today he wasn’t totally into it (too much Christmas, maybe!).

I asked him to record me doing a couple – he said only if I still used his video – of course!!!

I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do all 43 on my toes or not. I made it!!! I did stop and stretch several times, though. That little jump is no joke!!!

Last night, a new friend (one of our neighbor’s daughters – in town for Christmas), text and asked if she could come over this morning to work out. Yes!!! Always fun to have a work-out partner. I pulled out a favorite – Les Mills Combat. Because of the stress fracture and DR rules, I haven’t done this in 3+ weeks – ahhhhh – so great today!!! Erin liked it to. We both got in a great work-out and had fun!!!

Our Christmas day was perfect. We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy each other. Last night we played games, ate (way too much) and hung out – awesome!!!

Chris did a great job with the turkey:

Everyone had fun at dinner, I think.

Good news – plenty of left-overs so I don’t need to cook today!!! More time with my boys!!!

Happy Wednesday!

Merry Christmas! Since the boys are older and at least one of them (Hunter) likes to sleep in, I had time to do my 43 before we did our stockings this morning!

Today I used one of Hunter’s new Christmas gifts for my 43.

Hunter wanted a punching bag/speed bag combo unit (and, I’m really glad he got it!!!!).

For the 43 I did a combo move:

5 right jabs
left-right punch x 5

I did 43 of the above combo and then switched my stance and did 43 of the combo starting with left jabs. Worked up a sweat for sure!!!

Check out the awesome shirt designed by this phenomenal running artist (just don’t check out the holiday belly underneath!).

Yesterday we had so much fun as a family. I think everyone was happy with their gifts – always a good thing. Here are some of the favorites:

Rocking new outfit!!! (obviously mine – I just skipped out on being in the picture)

Lots of fun as a family. I love it!!!

Another of our Christmas traditions is to do Raclette on Christmas Eve for dinner. (I think true Raclette involves way more cheese than anything else.) Some great friends of ours introduced this fun way to cook dinner to us several years ago. We always make it a competition to see who makes the best of each meat – steak, chicken, shrimp. The set-up looks like this:

Set-up for Raclette – sauces & spices to flavor your meats

It really is a lot of fun. Last night, Jordan won for best chicken, Chris for steak and Hunter for shrimp. Hunter was also the all-around winner!!! (notice who didn’t win anything??)

I love that no matter how old (and big!) the boys get, we still do milk and cookies for Santa!

Jordan even wrote a note for Santa:

This morning we did our stocking, stuffed ourselves with reindeer bread and now everyone is checking out all of their new stuff!!! Later we will play some games with a friend who will join us for the afternoon and evening. Chris will make a turkey for us in his new indoor turkey fryer. (the very best way to have a turkey!!)
