Morning! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you are enjoying time with your family.

I’ve pretty much decided today is a no-splurge day. I feel like I’ve been eating Christmas cookies and candies non-stop and all I really want is a normal food day!

I woke up around 7 AM and opened presents with Future Husband, his sister, and his parents.  His sister gave me some make-up (yay!) and his parents gave us a large canvas of one of our engagement pictures, which I love!  Thoughtful gifts are so nice.

My sister-in-law, her boyfriend, and I decided to go on a pre-breakfast run.  I had a quick snack before leaving.

Just toast, PB, and tea.  I ate another slice of toast because it took us about 2 hours to actually leave the house! 🙂

We did about 3.0 miles through a nature preserve.  It was nice to have some running companions.

When we came back, my mother-in-law, a family friend, and I set to work in the kitchen making a huge breakfast buffet for our 10 guests.

A traditional English Breakfast must include:

• Eggs
• Toast
• Baked Beans (English style, no sugar like ours)
• Bacon or sausage
• Grilled tomatoes
• and some sort of Pudding

We made a basic English Breakfast with some American home fries.

I had eggs, home fries, turkey bacon, and baked beans.

With a large piece of dry toast.

Back to the festivities! Enjoy your day!
