Merry Christmas!

The day after Christmas is always a bit surreal to me.  There is so much excitement and anticipation all month long and then suddenly Christmas has passed and life goes on.  We had a wonderful Christmas spent with lots of family and our two beautiful children that made the moments magical.

Aubrey’s new car was a big hit with all the kids.

Here is the house they promised us for Christmas, we shoveled out the upstairs to help dry things out before they come to work on it again.

Joshua got lots of Legos and tools, including a drill from Grandpa.

Olivia got lots of things to slobber on… She is quite happy with her Christmas.

Merry Christmas! 

Polar Bear 5K Fun Run

 

I ran my first official 5K this morning.  They had a stretch of Mountain View corridor opening up today, and to kick it off there was a fun run.  I was a little worried when we woke up to 7 inches of snow, but there wasn’t quite that much on the west side.

It was snowing a little as we ran but they were passing out beanies and hand warmers at the beginning of the run and it really wasn’t too bad at all.  I think it was probably the best plowed stretch of road in the valley.

I actually thought the whole thing was quite fun, and I finished quicker than I thought I would, 31:05.
