I hope everyone had a great holiday. My Christmas partying continues today with a party for 32 people at my Memere and Pepere’s house.
I’m so glad I went to Becky’s gym this morning. She reserved a bike for me in the 8 am spin class. It was a workout! I was sweating buckets and panting like a dog. Might be a little bit sore tomorrow because I used different muscles than usual. But I feel great heading into another party with high calorie foods.
I really missed blogging yesterday. I made sure to take pictures of all of my good eats!
Christmas Eve group photo.
Homemade apple pie for dessert.
Blueberry wheat pancakes on Christmas morning, after opening presents!
Plus my mom wanted me to try a cranberry bagel. It was tasty!
Going into bitch-mode because I thought I lost my camera.
Cranberry wine spritzer at my aunt and uncle’s house.
Cheese and crackers.
Vegetables and dip.
My Christmas meal with a glass of Malbec.
Gorgeous cake for dessert!
My cousin’s homemade pumpkin pie.
I picked at a piece of cake and a slice of pumpkin pie because I couldn’t decide which one I wanted. I couldn’t finish either!
Taking a photo with my Grandma. I love her so much!
When we got home from my aunt and uncle’s house, my mom noticed that Kitty had eaten the top of her apple pie AND the top of 4 loaves of banana bread. That crazy cat actually chewed through layers of plastic wrap to get to the food.
Before I went to spin this morning, I had slices of banana bread from the 1/2 of the loaf that Kitty ignored. My mom has perfected her recipe. It’s very unhealthy but it’s sooooo moist and delicious!

That was absalutely a Konditor Meister cake. And I must say that pumpkin pie was the best dessert there.
