Book Club Adult Party -- I am part of an awesome book club and we decided to have an adult holiday party this year... was so fun and festive... adults only, left the kids at home and did what we do best - gabbed, drank, ate and laughed! The pictures are very random because my battery died near the beginning of the night. :( Might have been a good thing. :)
On Saturday, after what very well could be my final workout at the Y, (this baby is coming in 2 weeks so having to pee every 5 minutes doesn't let me get such a great workout in anymore) we ran a ton of errands, stopped & saw Santa so Ben could specifically tell him that he wants a marble game (?), home for rest, Steve's bro & wife and kiddos came for an overnight. The purpose was to stay here and the guys were going to run the Santa to the Sea 1/2 Marathon early on Sunday morning together. We went to Pizza Guru (our new fave pizza joint) and enjoyed a fun night and slumber party together of lots of screaming kids and giggling.
Sunday morning, Mike & Steve hit the road at 5 am to get to the start in Ventura and the rest of us joined them at the finish line around 10 am. The heat was HORRIBLE and while no personal bests were set, the guys had a blast and it was a really fun event to watch. They even had a large pile of snow! Costumes were encouraged and while some were hilarious and creative, Mike's "Christmas Tree" costume took the cake!
Was so great to hang out with all of them - this is Steve's sixth & final 1/2 marathon of the year ~ with another kiddo on the way, he's unsure of what it'll look like next year, but my guess is that he'll be hitting a few races. We noted that this was our last time as just a 3-some -- next race, there will be 4 of us! ;)
