December, you were a busy one

DECEMBER

After I moved, it just got busier!  Don't worry, my photo stream has 91 photos, 

but I won't put all of them here. 

In social situations people often ask, "What have you been up to?" To which my brain often goes... BLANK

  So, here is for the times I've been asked lately what I've been up to. 

Playing Tia Tamara

 "niece" Hope and...

"niece" Evelyn both got some Tia Tamara time.  

 

and Tia got to see see her other "nieces" before they were whisked away in a limo to see the Nutracker by their awesome dad

  Trail of Lights Fun Run at Zilker Park

 

Watched my parents run over the finish line for the 2.1 mi run!

Met Santa but he was totally lame. I asked him for a boyfriend for Christmas and he said he only knows 65 year old men.

We might make this a tradition!
