It ended up being a really nice weekend. On Friday night, we went out to dinner with our Kentucky friends and some of their extended family. We went to Home Slice and it was very yummy!
On Saturday, we woke up early for our day trip to McKinney. It took about 3.5 hours to get there. We went to Frisco first and took the dogs to a local dog park. From there, we went into downtown McKinney and had lunch at a local italian restaurant called Sauce. It was really cute! After lunch, we drove around, did some shopping, had In-N-Out for dinner, and then headed back!
In-N-Out was really the highlight of the trip. Sadly, that was kind of a deciding factor for this day trip. They've just recently opened a couple of In-N-Out burgers near Dallas. And we love it! The menu is minimal (burgers, shakes, and fries).. but they do have a "secret menu" online that gives you additional info on things to order.

This morning, we got up and met our Kentucky friends for Brunch at Z' Tejas. It's a local "tex mex" restaurant. We actually decided to take the dogs with us so that we could head to Zilker park straight after. As I've mentioned before, its our favorite park.. and its huge. So its definitely a good place to wear the dogs out. They've basically been sleeping the rest of the afternoon (and I may or may not have taken a little nap with them).
Thomas will be out of town this week and my birthday is on Wednesday.. so we celebrated my birthday a little early today! He cooked me a yummy spaghetti dinner and let me open my presents early. I got a Under Armor Shirt and a nice pair of Under Armor running gloves!
I got a package in the mail this week from my mom as well. It contained a cute outfit, some running pants, and a couple gifts from my brother and sister in law (cookie cook book, spice bowls, and a icing decorater kit). I was very excited to have lots of fun new stuff! And I've been in a cookie baking frenzy :) Tis the season right?
Time to run! I'm trying to write and watch Elf at the same time and I'm missing some of my favorite parts. Completely unacceptable! :)
Hope everyone has a good week!
