Gobble Gobble!

What fun we had, this past Saturday, at the local Turkey Trot! I had decided to run the 10k...but imagine my excitement when it became a family affair...as my girls decided they wanted to run the 1 mile wingding!!! They loved that they had numbers....it was an
"official" race :)


The only bummer was that we all ran at the same time...so I had to rely on Jed to snap some photos! He got some priceless shots at the finish :) Here they are....in the order they finished....and some cute things they had to say about the race! I am SO SO proud of them for doing it all by themselves :) They loved it....look at those smiling faces!

Emma: "Mom, I'm so proud of myself for winning a blue ribbon!"

Ella: "I didn't talk to anyone...I wanted to win!"



Anna: "This is the best day ever!"

They were so excited to tell me that they ran the WHOLE way!!! And that they saw a dead cat, a baby shoe, and a dead squirrel...this was big news. They were thrilled with their ribbons too :)

I don't know how long their enthusiasm will last....

But I'm savoring every minute of it!!!

WAY TO GO GIRLS!!! Congratulations too Jenny for winning the race! What a great day for all. Can't wait to see everyone and hear about the race. I'll have to keep my bum running so I can keep up with the girls in the firecracker 4K!! :)

How precious. I LOVE their commentary. Ella's especially cracked me up--is it your determination or her dad's competitive nature?? ;) HA!!

They all LOOK so excited and happy! You too!! Running brings out the best in you. And seriously, CONGRATULATIONS for the AMAZING time (speedster) and 1st place finish OVERALL. Boston better look out!!

So cute that they are literally following in mom's footsteps.
