SF Giants Trophies and carne asada fries

Look who was excited to wait in line to see the SF Giants trophies... This little cutie patootie is C.A. She is way too adorable and smart for her age. She kept us entertained while we waited in line and she did very well being so patient.



The cutie and her mama even made it on our local paper's blog! Good stuff, ladies :)

Congrats to the SF Giants for winning two in three!!! It was so much fun watching the "G-MEN" win it again. I have to give credit to the hubs and my good friends for getting me into the game. We all went to a game this season and it was too much fun. Can't wait to go again.

After we took our pictures with the trophies (I'll have to post the pic later when they're available online), we went to our local spot, Rafa's, for some carne asada fries. YUM!

Hopefully you've had a chance to try this goodness. If not, hurry up and go now! And you have to order the horchata drink (milk with cinnamon and sugar). The combination is divine. As delicious as the fries were, I think they were a bit too salty/greasy for me. My tummy was not happy afterward, but luckily I felt better after a short nap and drinking plenty of water.

Christmas Recap 3... plus my Garmin & running shoes!

Missed Part 1 & Part 2? Check them out HERE and HERE! 

Both of our families went out to lunch for Pho at my favorite restaurant. 

Yum... This makes my tummy so happy!

Gotta get the fancy shmancy Thai iced tea... 

I forgot to share that I remade the hot cocoa cookies at some point during the holidays. They are so fun to look at.

New Year's Eve was very simple... Saw my mom and sister (dad was at work), visited our close friends, and then met the hubs' parents at home where we shared glasses of this yummy sparkling wine.

That night, the hubs' last night in town, we hosted a second get together at our house that night. I'm actually not sure which night this picture was from below, but I just wanted to share that I made kale chips for the first time! Yum!

This is our second bottle of wine. Aren't the wine glass markers the cutest/smartest?

Brought the hubs' parents to the airport the next morning... One final stop: In N Out!!!

Ok, now a look at the wonderful gifts the hubs got me for Xmas. Love my new necklace and it has very important meaning to me :)

I went for my first run! I enjoyed using my Garmin 10. Still gotta sync it up to my laptop (it doesn't work on Macs) and then I can start uploading my runs. 

Woo hoo! A new record already! ;)

Hubs and I also got fitted for running shoes for the first time! I got the Brooks Launch and he got the Nike Pegasus. We ran in them for the first time at the gym. We both feel they help as our feet didn't hurt as much as usual. Looking forward to more runs.
