Another fun-filled family day for the Bells! We got up at the crack of dawn this morning. I know, you're thinking why would we get up so early? Brennan, Tanner and I had registered to run in the HELPline's Turkey Trot 5K Run. It is sponsored by the Crisis Services of North Alabama. You see, in October I ran my very first 5K at the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run. Brennan had asked me if he could come, and I didn't know that he could until too late. So, I signed us up for this one. I told them not to worry if they had to walk (since it was their first time). We practiced Monday at Sparkman Middle so that they would know what to expect. I just thought it would be fun for us.

Well, when I got up this morning, Darrell woke up and said he wanted to go with us. He was going to take pictures and be there for the boys if they finished in front of me. (Good thing.) We arrived at UAH all bundled up and got ready to run. I think I was more nervous than they were.

Needless to say, my children never cease to amaze me. Brennan finished with a time of 24:00 minutes! He tied for 5th place in his age division. This was 3.1 miles!! Tanner finished with a time of 27:42 and won 1st place in his age division!! Mom didn't do so bad either...I finished at 29:53. (My Liz Hurley time was 32:34) It was a ton of fun, and for Tanner to win a trophy was icing on the cake!!

We finished off the day by stuffing ourselves with turkey :)
