I have been so busy baking. I ended up making 16 kinds of cookies! This is a new record for me. They are all chilling away in the freezer. I am going to hubby's work tomorrow to bring in his gifts for the girls in his office and also a tin of cookies. I was only able to fit 1-2 of each type in the tin. I think the tin looks cute. It is hard to see the ones at the bottom. I hope the girls will enjoy them!
In other news, we were hit with some snow and ice on Thursday. Luckily we never lost power. We have a tree out front that has been leaning for some time and we have been considering taking it down. After being covered with ice, it was leaning over so far that it was touching the driveway. So...it was taken down today. I think the house actually looks nicer without it. Our property has a TON of mature trees, so we still have some nice ones for shade in the summer. The tree covered in ice was actually quite beautiful.

In running news, I went out for a run this morning after about a week and a half off due to an awful cold. It was cold out, but overall a relaxing run. I am pretty sure that Santa is bringing me a Garmin 405 with HR monitor. It will be great to not have to go back out over my running route in my car to determine my distance when I choose a new route. I can't wait to try it out!
