Christmas rush Kent 5k


I ran the whole time, stayed with Ms. C and we finished in 47 or 48.  I was going for the goal of running my first adult 5k and made it!  next time I can go faster and "PR".  mostly it was really fun. lots of people dressed up. fun green Christmas shirts.  we were early enough to not stress out. it rained the whole time.  ely was great sport. he's been running at school around the track and getting hold punches in his track card.  when it is filled up he gets a rubber bracelet.  we went out to eat afterwards.  thank goodness I called Sister A. beforehand to get psyched up and get tips on what to wear outside.  gloves, headband. light jacket. only one layer pants. taking extra clothes for changing into afterwards.  I'm super excited about doing another one.



R came in 10 minutes before us and he pushed e the whole way and he had a blister on his foot!


45 degrees and rainy. :)

soon it will be Christmas day!

what a nice Christmas goodie plate should look like.  5 awesome cookies (with good frosting that doesn't smear) and 2 little clementines.

e made this beautiful pizza.  we also had baked potato nachos.

  our Ward Christmas party was a lot of fun.  huge turnout.  signing and a program, followed by Santa.  someday i'll learn what are the popular potluck dishes to take. 



E's snowman from school.
