This year we are lucky enough to have family coming out to enjoy Christmas with us. My grandpa "Papa" Andy is coming, along with my Uncle Rusty and Aunt Sileide and their two boys, TJ and Dane. I haven't seen them in at least 5 years, so I can not wait to see everyone!! We are also lucky enough to have my brother coming home from Germany for the holidays. I am so thankful that we will be surrounded by family to celebrate Christmas.
I also really enjoy all of the Christmas events leading up to the holiday. Looking at lights, Christmas parties, etc. Since lately I have been trying to transform myself into a runner, I decided to take part in one of the many "fun" runs that they have around the holidays. So last weekend, I ran a 6k race at the 12k's of Christmas held at a local park here in Gilbert, AZ. It was one of the few races around town that you can do with your pet and I just had to sign up Muley and myself. My mom, dad and Snoops came out to support me and we all had a really good time. There were Christmas carolers at different spots along the course and everyone dressed themselves and their pets up in holiday clothing. I really enjoyed seeing all of the costumes on not just the people, but the pets too. Some people are so creative! It ended up being a whopping 80 degrees that day, so the race was a little hot, but we did it and Muley did a great job!
