A big big post

There are millions of pictures- I finally decided to download my little camera today. So get comfy :-)
We took the girls to the Grossology Science exhibit in Frisco. Here is E playing a huge operation game. It was a little loud in there- so E was walking around with her hands on her ears. Monkey see Monkey do.
E going down the esophagus slide into the stomach....what a yummy treat
B was pretty leery about the huge talking thing when we came in
I ran the White Rock 1/2 Marathon today. It was my 3rd time to run it. I did as well as I did my first time when I really trained. This time I totally slacked off with my training- I think I'm going to have to challenge myself more to either do a full one or get a better time. I did 9 min miles. I am pretty proud of myself for even going since my running buddies ended up out of town.

Our pantry is huge and goes under the stairs. We hung a curtain and I painted inside with magnet paint and chalk board paint. It is the girls little clubhouse- I have more plans for it so I'll post again when I'm done.
Grammy and Papa came over for dinner on Wed night. Here is Papa reading the new book- "Why Grandpa Rides a Harley" to them. E put her hands on her ears for the picture.....I think she meant to do her eyes?
The girls like to jump all over daddy and talk his ear off when he gets home from work. Here they are all cuddled up
Notice how happy Berkley is mushing E's face? B now loves to sit in her chair like this now. Daddy and E
We got our first real Christmas tree this year. I love it! This is from right after Thanksgiving-
It a 10 foot tall tree I had to get a ladder out to decorateHere is a peek at our living room- maybe someday I take pics of the whole house. Wait, that means the whole thing has to be picked up right? Berkley lounging on our bed
Our friends Madilyn and Emily Kate came over to play. Here they all are having some lunch
Look at that little smile....That is what she gives me when I try to take pics of her Berkley enjoys "hiding" from me in the store
Awww isn't she cute?

First - great job on the 1/2 marathon! You make me want to try one - and I can't believe you did 9 min. miles - Amazing!! All the pictures of the girls are adorable...I can't get over how much older Berkley seems!
