Well, I had every intention of making this post LAST Saturday, but I was having technical errors at the picture page. I finally have it all sorted out so now I can tell you about last Saturday and more. As you can see I was in another race. It was the Jingle Bell Jog and I did MUCH better this time!!! I am soooo proud. It is a 5K and I did it in 27 min. and 42 seconds!!! In the above picture you see me running MY full-out (that is why I look way less than pretty) and I did pass her just before the finish line. I love running these races and again I have to thank my friend Dara and her kids for watching my kids and watching me and cheering me on! This was a pay race, so I actually have a number, and I was not fast enough to win a trophy. Oh and we ran with a jingle bell tied to our shoes. I did not think it would bother me (noise wise) because this race I listened to music while I ran. Well, the noise of it did not bug me, but the spot where the little bell hit my foot went numb by the end of the race.
Anyway, in other "news" we got a live X-Mas tree!!! All by ourselves!! The kids picked out a good one and they decorated it with me. However, I think I have already killed it. We got it on Wednesday and I watered it that day. I forgot to water it on Thursday. On Friday morning, it seemed dry (I can't feel the bottom of the tree stand). So, I am afraid it dried out and died. I did water it Friday morning and it "seems" like it has drank some of the water but I'll let you know if it makes it to X-Mas. I don't really have high hopes that it will.
Okay about the pictures on picture page (NOTE: same place, NEW link)

The first picture is Avery opening her very first present ever and loving it. In our family an elf comes about 2 weeks early and gives presents to good little boys and girls. His name is Twinkle. Anyway, that is her Twinkle gift. My brother told me that his Hanukkah gifts are on the way, so the kids will get to open those as soon as they get here. Which reminds me HAPPY HANUKKAH!!! Last night was night two. Anyway, back to pictures.... the next few pictures are before/during and after photo's with the tree. In the picture with the 2 girls, if you look closely, Avery has her first ponytail, sticking straight up! Then there are the pictures of me in the race. The race was before the tree and other pictures, but that is the order in which they loaded. The pictures were taken with two different Camera's and I think the quality difference is HUGE. Unfortunately, MY camera is the suckier one. Tristan was sweet enough to take a picture of my backside after I crossed the finish line and was slowing down. Nice boy...lol.
Well, guys that is it for the update, but let me tell you what I am doing today 'cause I am so dang excited!!! We are going to Ramstein (sp?) this morning, which is about an hour away, and we are eating the BEST brunch!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that place. In the same area there are two PX/BX's and they are already having big sales on X-mas deco and I LOVE shopping for x-mas decorations! So, we will be eating and shopping the day away!
Goodbye all, and I hope there are some super fun sales in your near future!
