We are headed to College Station today to spend Christmas Eve with our families! I am just beyond excited to celebrate Annabelle's first Christmas! This timeof year is even more magical with a new little angel to share it with.
I am a little crazy busy with packing, baking Christmas goodies, and getting Belle ready, but I wanted to pop in with a quick Workout Wednesday post. I actually posted this workout 3 years ago when I was headed home for Christmas. The cute little park by E's parent's house inspired this workout. This is actually the same park where we first told each other we liked each other way back in the day (I was 16 and he was 17), and it's where we took our Christmas pictures this year with Belle. So to say it has some happy memories, would be an understatement. The weather has been so nice here lately, I thought it would be fun to re-post this outdoor workout for Christmas!

If it's a little to chilly where you live to get outside, give this Christmas inspired workout a try! You don't need any equipment and just enough space to do a burpee. Enjoy!
