Christmas 2007

Christmas this year was about perfect up in MN. It had already snowed over a foot leading up to it, and then snowed big fluffy flakes all Christmas day. Luckily the kids all made the nice list, barely ;) . Attaching some of the pictures with the kids favorite thing. Michael got a Nerf Long Shot gun as tall as he is, Rachel got a shirt with her favorite cartoon character on it, and Megan got the Scooby Doo board game she wanted, among other things. Michael made a bread warmer in school and gave it to Mommy and Daddy for Christmas.

5 k Reindeer Run

Kris and I ran the Reindeer Run 5 k which looped around a lake in Minneapolis. It was 3 degrees and at least -15 with the wind chill. There looked to be over 2500 people there, some dressed in costumes. It was also the first heavy snow of the year that was just starting. When we started we ran along the windy side of the lake with snow blowing sideways right into our face. Kris thought his cheeks were going to need to be amputated. We finished right about 30 minutes, which was 4 minutes faster than my last one!
