today was the tarkington family christmas celebration.

we begin the day with a hearty breakfast of eggs and candy cane bread that the madre brought up. jon was in charge of the eggs, and they were delish.

the candy cane bread was a hit. it was so good it blew up a plate and began to spark. don't worry though, all was fine after we put out the small fire and ran all the vents.

the madre in her stripes and sara in her cotton candy camo wait for the gift exchange to begin.

the fiber optic tree was a hit.

oh, and look at how the lights change colors. this $19.99 walmart special really is magical.

the white elephant gift exchange begins.

jon and i then went for a skate ski, the madre went for a snowshoe, yoga, and then hot tub. the padre went for hike, and sara and doug ran in the condo's gym. we sure are an active bunch.

tomorrow sara has a 10k snowshoe race that starts right outside the condo. the good news is we can cheer her on from the comfort of the condo balcony.

why such an early celebration?

FYI, x-mas is the 25th, not the 15th. It's all good though. Will you be celebrating New Years on the 20th now?

No more canned frosting for the candy cane bread. The chemicals in it are too toxic/flammable!

we celebrate early because jon's parents go to san diego, and jon and i are going to texas.
