I also have an awesome new Give Away this week.... Brought to you by the awesome people at Food Should TasteGood 

MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY CHANUKAH!!! 

I love the holidays! I love the food but I don't love what the food does to my waist. Between Christmas eve, Christmas and a surprise birthday I completely wrecked my healthy eating. I went in with every intention of only trying a little bit of those foods heavy in calories but let's be honest those are the best ones LOL

Christmas Eve stop #1 Brian's Grandparents

We stopped by to say hi but did not stay for dinner so there was not much unhealthy snacking done there...

Christmas Eve stop #2 My sisters House

This is where the feasting began. My sister made crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms for apps. and had an ample veggie platter with homemade dip. 

I ate 2 mushrooms and LOTS of Carrots. I think I filled myself on veggies before the real food was even ready.  

Then came dinner: 1st- baked scallops and salad, 2nd- lobster pasta, 3rd- snapper and roast, 4th-Dessert included chocolate cheesecake (not my type of dessert) and winter fruit pie <--- that was YUMMY

Now comes Christmas Day... 

We woke up and opened some gifts.. and by some gifts I mean the best gifts ever.

 

Brian got me the Nikon D3000!!! Finally I have a good camera!!

Then we were off to his parents house for Christmas Brunch. I didn't eat to much because I knew we had Dinner just a few hours later with my family. But I did nibble on some fruit and a scone. Then Brian's sister made caramelized pears with whipped goat cheese so of course I HAD to try it... But I shared with Brian.

 

Lastly we had dinner with my mom and some of my siblings... 
Here is some snapshost of Christmas eating.

 

 

Can you guess which plate is mine and which is Brian's... lol 

I had a great time... here are some photos from the nights of fun and festivities 

 We know how to have fun in our family HAHA. My nephew
dancing, and he also has an empty beer box on his face he decided to use as a mask. Matching Christmas Sox for the girls. Stair rides with Aunt Heather for the boys and my attempt to get a picture with one of my other nephews.

All and all it was a great Christmas. 

I hope you all had a great Christimas.... or whatever holiday it is that you celebrate.
