We were so happy that this year’s Jingle Bell Run took place AFTER Greg got home from China so he was able to do it with us! The weekend of the race was the first really cold weekend of the winter – plus we received a dash of snow to make it even more exciting. I was happy that the roads were clear so we didn’t have to worry about the race being cancelled (this is Seattle after all). So we bundled up and headed for the city – my sister Theresa was going to meet us there to run with us. This was Fiona’s 3rd Jingle Bell Run (the 1st was still in my belly =)
*The Largest Yard Nome EVER * Bundled up for the start of the race *The sea of people!
The run was great – and unlike last year Fiona didn’t cry at all =) I don’t think she was thrilled being stuffed in that thing – but she loved the festivites afterward!
*Fiona LOVES that snowman *Auntie and Fi enjoying their “coffee” *And the best Santa – Fi got another candy cane – her favorite!
While I was in line with half of King County for coffee Fiona stayed outside stalking Frosty the Snowman. She wanted to go everywhere he was at. Finally Frosty went inside and when Fi asked where he was going Greg quickly told her that he had to go potty. So then the rest of the day everytime she saw something on the ground she pointed to it and said “snowman poop!”
We ended the great morning with a ride on the carousel at West Lake Center. Last year we had to hold Fiona on it – this year she did it all by herself. She LOVES horses so this was very exciting for her to get to ride the horsies. I think she would have stayed there till her hands froze to it if we’d let her!
you even got greg out there.. I’ll have to be sure Tom sees this!
Greg’s raising the bar!
