Nature Walk + Cookies + Yoga

Thursday was the most magnificent random, average December break day!!! We took care of business early with a routine appointment for Annelise and then Will’s basketball practice; with those, I couldn’t go to my normal gym classes, but Annelise worked with me at home on a brand new PiYo round for me to teach! We had pizza (our fave!) for lunch and then the MOST GORGEOUS 80°F neighborhood walk!!! God bless December in Texas!!! #texasforever

How stunning is this shot?! Annelise took it as my pose for Day 21 of the Festive & Fit December yoga challenge: scale pose

Cheering even on a neighborhood walk! :-D

I scale-posed with these roses before we found the amazing rocks in the pond, but I still love this, too:

My best girl finding all the turtles:

Our day ended even better with baking our #1 family favorite for Christmas: chocolate-covered cherry cookies!

That night, I remembered I hadn’t checked my Busted Halo advent devotional, yet:

Mission accomplished!!! #bobrossforever


Speaking of Busted Halo, my yoga challenge, & cookies, here are a few more faves from this week:
