Who knew my brother Chris and sis-in-law Nicole were such crazy Christmas people???
Oh my gosh their house is a winter wonderland!!! I was in pure heaven. :D :D
I’m so decorating as soon as we get home!!!!
Our night was fun! Chris and Nic have my DREAM house. It is a huge log cabin and it is filled with antique furniture. I am in love.
I always feel like we are staying in a cabin at a ski lodge!

I brought my new HOLIDAY GLO BAR!!! In mini sample bites:
Everyone raved about them. I’m so excited to reveal them soon!
We had a mini dance party/workout/gambling…
In the morning, I got up and thought about how awesome I would feel if I worked out. And I somehow convinced myself to just go downstairs and do it while everyone was sleeping!!!! I made a green tea and a vitamin water and guzzled both.
Running on 5 hours sleep. The first 20 minutes were brutal (aren’t they always?). I watched Planet Earth (The Future disc). It is the only disc I hadn’t seen yet so I was pumped to watch it. Have you guys watched the Planet Earth series?? Oh my gosh they are a MUST see!!! I switch between feeling awe-inspired and depressed/discouraged all at once.
I did 50 mins on the elliptical at a very hard resistance/pace (10-14) and I pushed hard. I was dripping in sweat after. I finished with some light yoga and abs:
After showering, I felt amazing!!!! I had a wonderful brekkie. A plate filled with fruit and my high-protein black eyed pea cakes. I need to tweak this recipe more before I reveal it.
I had 3 pea cakes and twice the fruit as shown on the plate. Green tea of course.
I’m currently blogging from the car using Eric’s wireless USB as he is on call for work. Awesome. It sure made this 2 hour drive fly by! We’re almost home…
Aw – you and your fam are too cute! Such silly and funny pictures:) That house is amazing. I love log cabins:)
Great job on the workout!
Wow, that house is AMAZING. So cool! :) Working 8 jobs? Yikes!
Glad you had a good time! :)
I haven’t watch the Planet Earth series though I am curious about it because I’ve heard it’s pretty awesome.
Good luck with the baking!
Okay, they have an UNBELIEVABLE home. I want that! All of that!! And I can’t believe the fully stocked bar… talk about fancy!!
In other news, I am now going to watch a Christmas movie. All because of this post. I LOVE Christmas!!!!!!
Wow, that is a gorgeous house! You could live there too with a few more years of glo bars I think! haha
Looks like you had fun though :)
I can’t wait for those holiday glo bars!!! This is the first year I have lived by myself but I am definitely planning on some christmas lights at the bare minimum!
I have started putting up the trees this weekend, I like a long Christmas so i can enjoy it longer. Cute pics.
that house is amazing, that would be such a nice escape to go to, and have that home gym, thats what i would like someday.
good luck baking today! you can do it!
WOW! That is Christmas to the max! We plan on decorating together and will get a small little fake tree to put ornaments on this year.
I can’t believe how gorgeous their house is, and how bit it is too! What an awesome workout room, and the bar area is so fun.
After I read your post I said to Steve “so I want to start decorating the house for Christmas this week.” I LOVE all the decorations they have. That just got me into the spirit :)
That is the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous.
What an amazing home!!! You have a beautiful fam :)
Im not a huge decorator because the hub and I are never at “home” for any big holiday. We live in NC but always travel up to PA and NJ to be with our families.
Angela, that is some pretty elaborate decor! Your new glo bars sound just awesome. I can’t wait to hear more about those and your black eye pea cakes! Wow! For no specific reason, I just need to re-iterate how awesome you are and how much I enjoy following your blog. Have a great rest of the weekend!
Jaya :)
what an amazing house… you can imagine it being situated in lapland… and Santa’s elves lifving there…too cute xxx
What a fun night!! I am in love with your brothers house :)
This is the first year that I have had my ‘own’ apartment, so I can’t wait to decorate. I have no idea where to start??
That house is seriously INCREDIBLE! So So jealous!
Dang, that’s an amazing house! Looks like you all had a great time!
That house is awesome. I always love the log cabin look.
We don’t really decorate our apartment for Christmas just because its only the two of us and we don’t have a ton of time due to work at Christmas.
But we do decorate our church insides with the congregation. We have a party the Sunday after thanksgiving to decorate after church. We order pizza and then play some games, do some crafts and decorate our little hearts out :-)
What a gorgeous house! Hope that santa stocking was for you ;)
I always think it would lovely to decorate for christmas but never do :O We always go to someone else’s wonderfully decorated house and let them deal with the tidying up :S
What a cool house! Looks like you had fun, I love Christmas decorations!!
