Day Ninety Six - Sat 3rd of Dec

Today was the day of the 5km run. Leah seemed nervous but excited. It was a cold morning and luckily it wasn't raining. We had to be there at 8:45am to register and then the run was to start at 9:30am.

My gorgeous runner.

Can you spot Leah.

Leah with her running buddy Charlotte. Charlotte was one of her coaches and also was a member of our church. She is such a good role model for Leah, so positive.
I was cheering Leah on and couldn't cheer anymore cause I started to cry. I was so proud of her. She completed the 5 kms in about half an hour.

Racing toward the finish line.

After her run we went to a few Holiday craft fairs and then in the afternoon we went to a Christmas Tree farm to cut our own Christmas Tree.

After looking and looking we found our perfect tree that we all agreed on. We all fell in love with her.

Our beautiful tree. It takes a bit of work getting it into the stand.

When Ward was screwing in the trunk of the tree we found this huge nest. It was so creepy. I was waiting for something to jump out like in the movie 'National Lampoons Christmas Vacation' with Chevy Chase.
Ward was so freaked out. He vaccuumed it out. Luckily nothing was in there. It was pretty funny.
