Me and my gang
Last night almost the whole family went to the Sleigh Bell Trot 5K at Saluda Shoals Park in Irmo. It's a great way to ring in the season. The whole park in covered in various displays of Christmas lights from the three wise men to santa riding a jet ski! The race starts at 7pm so it's already dark and cold. We all bundled up and got ready to get moving. Michael, Hunter and Peyton were the only ones who were really racing. Kenny ran with Peyton but he probably would not want me to qualify that as "racing". Maizeigh, Jackson and Owen were in their sleighs (a.k.a.-strollers) with Mary Beth and Christi pushing. Jessica, Hagin, Olivia and I were walking along. That is until Olivia decided she needed her daddy and nothing would make her happy except for Jessica to carry her the whole 3 miles! Actually, Christi and Mary Beth gave her a couple of piggyback rides too! It's sort of a strange loop you make through the park and you have to go by the finish line before finishing the race. So we stopped there to cheer for Hunter and Peyton while they finished the run. (Michael had already finished by the time we got there.)
We got hot apple cider and stayed for the awards ceremony since Michael placed second in his age group. Go Big Daddy! Then off to CiCi's Pizza for the celebration!! I sure do love being with my family!!
