One day while driving along with the kiddos, we passed two women running together on the sidewalk. Evelyn was all excited and yelled, "Look mommy, cool runner girls like you!!" :)

Busy weekend...

Our weekend started with a trip to find the perfect Christmas tree... Saturday morning I dressed the kids in their little sweater/hat outfits (I couldn't resist buying these on clearance after last winter) and to the tree farm we went. We had a fun time and ran into a few friends who were there getting their tree, too.
The remainder of Saturday was spent getting decorations out of storage, putting up the tree, making the house look festive, etc. We also went to Mass on Saturday night because we had a fun run to do on Saturday morning. We all took part in the Canine Candy Cane Run -- Cocoa had a blast!! She loved being around all the other dogs, and like her mommy she loves a little friendly competition :) We didn't run, but I think we might have been the fastest stroller/power-walkers there...

After the race there were granola bars and chocolate brownie bites. Evelyn decided to have a brownie... good thing Travis was holding her! I am loosening up quite a bit -- I let her indulge and enjoy herself without worrying about the mess too much, but I did get out the wipes as soon as she was finished.
We had a few friends (and babies) over for dinner on Sunday night. Whew... what a weekend!
