Another Weekend Gone

Another weekend has come and gone and we are getting that much closer to Christmas! :)

On Friday we headed out to the Fort Polk Tree Lighting, we met up with a few people that Kyle works with and had a great time. Afterwards we went out to dinner to our favorite Japanese Hibachi restaurant. It was so good and we left full and happy.


Saturday morning we got up bright and early to head off to Alexandria for the Ugly Christmas Sweater 5k. It was a new event and we had the best time! The course was a giant square which was so nice because I loathe out and back courses. I was stoked when I crossed the finish line at 27:41, a PR by 2 minutes! It was an awesome race!

We stuck around for the awards and Ugly Sweater contest. Kyle placed 3rd in his age group and was in the top 3 for the Ugly Sweater contest haha. One of the ladies working the race said Kyle looked like Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation, it was hysterical and he made the most of it. We had a blast dressing up. We grabbed our free bloody mary's and stopped for donuts on the way home.

We ended the night with grilling and lounging around.


Yesterday was spent baking and I mean A LOT of baking. We are giving away trays to some friends but the majority will go to Kyle's work. :)


I hope you all had a great weekend!
