It is my son's 13th birthday today...yep, I am a Mom to a teenager! I just wanted to wish my handsome son Nick a very special 13th birthday...love you buddy!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday...I don't know how it seems to go quicker each year...I think it just may be that I am growing older. I mean how is Christmas just a few weeks away. It seems like the kids just went back to school last week.

This year for the 2nd year in a row, we went to the
5K Turkey Bowl Race. It did not matter that it was snowing/raining/sleeting and so very cold. This was the first time my hubby and Jack ran a full 5K. This was also my first race in 5 years...granted I never run to win just the for the exercise. The boys did awesome! There were 435 runner in the adult race. Nick finished in 60th place with a time of 22:45. He did pretty well especially having just got the cast off his foot a few weeks ago and being "pretty out of shape" at least for him. Jack totally impressed us. He started the race with Josh and I and took off right away. He finished in 151st place with a time of 25:56...no one else anywhere near his age finished near him...we are so proud of him doing so well in his first big race.
Even Santa and the Thanksgiving turkey got in a run...sorry, my pictures are not great. I took my point and shoot, with the bad weather I was not risking my dSLR.

Now December over at
