On Thanksgiving there are many "Turkey Trots" held in our area (a 5K run). I was going to run one but after some last minute changes I decided to do a longer 8 mile run (so I could eat more Thanksgiving dinner later) and my boys would make it in time to do their 1st race (100 meter fun run). Carter had been talking about doing this for weeks and was even "practicing" and stretching in our house constantly. He asked me if I could hand him water as he ran by me & he asked Brandon if he would hold up a sign that said, "Go Carter, Go!". That kid cracks me up. They braved the 12 degree temperatures and had a lot of fun doing this (well, Carter did at least).

About 1/2 way through the 0-2yr old dash Linc gave up from being cold and started crying so I picked him up and carried him to the finish. Some crazy mothers were literally dragging their 2 yr olds to the finish line. I couldn't believe how crazy the were!
Linc and I after his race (he refused to wear his hat which I think would've helped keep him a little warmer).
Carter trying to calm Lincoln down after the race. He was SO upset by the cold, but he loved getting his medal for doing the race
