Jingle Bell Run/Walk 2008

The big day was Saturday. We had a great turn out from our friends and family! Thank you all so much for giving, running, and/or walking with us in the Arthritis Foundation's race to raise money and awareness for arthritis!!!

We ended up with around 75 team members and raised over $4,000--the largest team and most money raised!!! The whole race raised almost $61,000!!! So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hannah and Lincoln were so good during the whole thing. Hannah liked getting all dressed up as Cindy Lou Who again this year! Linc even didn't seem to mind too much that he was covered in green paint! It was extremely cold this year--until the race started. Then it warmed up and wasn't too bad.

This is Lincoln shortly after we got there when the green face paint was still mostly on him.
Kris made a sleigh out of our wagon for the kids to ride in. It was awesome! I love how it had the H's on it for Hannah. We also had Santa hats that everyone wore that had H's on them.

All smiles!

This one will probably be our Christmas card this year!



My sweet, sweet Hannah. This picture brings tears to my eyes.



Lincoln HATED sitting in Santa's lap!!! I knew he would. Hannah was a little hesitant, but did it okay.

He was like, "Get me away from here, Daddy!!!"




Hannah and her friend, Ethan. I was SO glad Ethan came! Hannah loved being with him!

Team Little Hannah Who & the Grinch!


As the race was getting started, Lincoln was getting sleepy. So, he laid his head down in Hannah's lap.

It wasn't long before he was out. He slept there almost the entire race--3 miles long!

This is Linc at the end of everything. Notice how much paint was left on his face.

Thanks again to all of you who supported Hannah!!!!

Yay! I'm glad it went so well! That is so cool your team was the biggest and raised the most! Congrats! Wish we could have been there to walk with ya'll.
And I just adore the pictures of Lincoln with his head in Hannah's lap. What a sweet, sweet moment. They will surely treasure that one day.
