December Continued…

On Wednesday, December 16th BB flew in from Duxbury.  As she was landing so was Kiersten and the kids.  We headed down to Gig Harbor Friday morning to see all the cousins and let BB and Nana spend some time together before the chaos of the holidays. It is so fun to see the girls play with their cousins and to see how they react to Molly who is only 11 days younger.  I think it was a little confusing because Molly’s room at Nana’s is also Madi and Emma’s room at Nana’s.  Molly was running around saying “My room”, and the girls just had the most confused look on their faces.  Not sure how you are supposed to explain it to 2 year olds.IMG_5721 Papa got a new train this year so now there are two running under the tree.  All the kids loved them and Nicholas taught the girls how to run them.

Saturday morning we got up, piled in the car and drove down to Rochester, WA.  Chad had signed up for a half marathon.  We dropped him off in the cold misty rain then the four of us went to Chehalis to do a little shopping at the outlets.  After a while we went back and waited for daddy to cross the finish line.  We are proud of him, he beat Autie Katie’s and my time.  IMG_5772 Looking for daddy.

Sunday night I busted out an early Christmas present so that the girls would have lots of time to play with BB.  IMG_5788 IMG_5792 IMG_5803 copy IMG_5795 copy I love this picture, Madi has her glasses on upside down and her tongue out as she concentrates.  If you look closely, Emma has her tongue out too with her shaggy hair hanging out under her hat which is too small.  Love me crazy kids!
