Jingle Bell 5K Run

Well, it sure was a cold morning (40 degrees) to go on the Jingle Bell 5K run... but we did it and had fun. The last time Mommy ran a race, Daddy was deployed and I was on the sidelines with Grannie. This time all 3 of us were in it. Mommy ran solo and Daddy and I were the "team" (he pushed me in the running stroller). Nana met us down there at the race and afterwards we all had breakfast together. This race is always neat because everyone dresses up in Christmas colors or Santa outfits and Christmas music is playing the entire time... people even bring their doggies and dress them up in Christmas costumes... too funny!!!!

Update - Apparently Daddy won 3rd place (bronze) in his age division! Not too bad for his first time running with me & the stroller. Mommy just laughed at him and reminded him that some speedy, running chick pushing her baby beat him in the final stretch... Hmmmm, I think Mommy was making fun of Daddy! :)
