Marable Christmas Eve Eve celebration

We had our annual December 23rd celebration with the Marable side.

It's always a fun time at the funny farm!

I am really behind in updating my blog! Life has been busy!

The beginning of December my dad sent us on a girls trip to Chicago!

Jason and my dad have gone on a few trips together so us girls thought we needed a trip!

it was so fun to be together without any distractions!

december was a COLD time to go but we loved it!

we visited the bean...it was pretty fun!


then the rest of the time we shopped! so.fun.

loved time with my mom...she was very cold the whole time!

i love my mom and sisters so much! so thankful for this time with them!

thanks so much dad!

Go bears!!

The marable's are super proud of our bears this year! We were so excited to get to go to the tech game last night at cowboy stadium! It felt good to crush the raiders after such a long losing streak against them and without RG3 in the second half!


Unfortunately Blake had to go on a work trip so it was me and the girls and my sister in law with her daughter, camryn. We met Blake's dad and Debbie there who graciously gave us the tickets!


I have to say we had the three cutest cheerleaders there!


They did so well...I mean it could not have gone better! EK and Molly are troopers! Future Baylor bears!
