Diane's 5K - A good ending to a busy week

This was such a busy week! It also ended up being a good week. The kids had a good time decorating their little Christmas village gingerbread houses. I was excited because there were 5 houses - one for each child and when we opened them, they were TINY!!!We had a good time though. (I decorated Anna's for her.)

Then we had our co-op Christmas party this past Thursday. Diane was pretty much in charge of that, so it added a bit of planning and busy-ness. It ended up being lots of fun, though. Then Thursday night was the NTM Christmas party as well. Poor Joshua and Daddy - they were sick this day and weren't able to go to either Christmas party. Josh was a real trooper, though, and really enjoyed spending the day just he and Daddy.

Then today I ran the Reindeer Run 5K in Orlando. It was so much fun. It is probably my favorite 5K. They are very festive and people dress up in Christmas decor. You can hear jingle bells all around you during the run. This year it was at Sea World, so that was an added bonus. (Not that many of the animals were out or anything, but we did run past a group of flamingos.) My dear friend Katherine ran it with me. We got to have about 3 hours of fellowship this morning - just us two. :) It was kind of nice.
