A few days ago, I mentioned to Scab that I would like to do a Jingle Bell 5k if I could find one. He suggested we just do one ourselves, so I organised one. I mapped the route, I sent out registration forms to the members of the Kluth Aumann family and I had the girls make us race bibs. (The race bibs didn't need numbers because there was only three of us. The girls made us themed bibs. I was "presents." Paula was "ginger bread." Scab was "christmas tree."
The bibs -
The race started out competitively but it was soon obvious that technical definition of running was not going to get me to first place.
It was so much fun and the absolute BEST PRESENT from my family.
I know you are dying to know the results.
Christmas Tree won the 5k. Here he is on the winners podium.
Erma won the 8 year old race.
Willa won the 7 year old race.
I love your new tradition! You guys are so fun!

So glad to hear you weren't battling snow storms! What a great way to begin Christmas Day. Bryan and I did it too, around the lake. Happy new year to you and the family!
