Ella's Christmas Doll

Had a lot of fun at dinner with the girls tonight. Sarah and I practiced the lyrics for their holiday program at school - "Up on the Rooftop." That was fun, but what was great is that Sarah chose to ask them what they want for Christmas this year and make a list for Santa. Everything they asked for was "sparkly" - sparkly roller skates, sparkly pogo sticks, sparkly helmets.

But wait, there's more. The funniest part was when Ella asked for a doll. Fine. No problem. All considering, it was the easiest of the things she had asked for. Then she said she wants one that eats and drinks (no problem)... real food. Okay, small problem. Then she pulled out the trump card - she wants a doll that makes egg nog. She wants it to eat and drink real food and then produce egg nog. Presumably out the other end. An egg nog doll. I darn near spit out my milk I thought it was so funny.

At Country Christmas in Old Town Auburn

Santa is here. Unfortunately, we forgot our real camera. We're having a great time anyway. Clam chowder in a bread bowl is all gone, but hot chocolate is 1 dollar at Bowman School's stall. Good times!

What's next for running?

Thanks to everyone for their support regarding my CIM relay. That was only 6 miles. Now I am signed up for a full 26.2 miles and the Fresno 2 Cities Marathon next November. I will likely do one or two half marathons in the next 11 months, so I'll continue posting updates.
