Visit to Santa and the K9 Candy Cane Fun Run 5K 2016

We went to see Santa!! After last year's debacle of waiting until Christmas week to go see the big man in the red suit (and waiting over 90 minutes), we were going early this year! We were second in line and waited 2 minutes. ;)

The boys were excited!! Well, Brock was actually really excited and finally figured out what he was going to ask for! (We prepped him in the car ride over). Kade did as expected and bawled his little eyes out, but Brock was awesome! He was a little apprehensive getting to sit on Santa's bench, but with a little help he actually told Santa what he wanted for Christmas and gave him a high five! So proud of my big boy!

I think he's just as happy as Brent that seeing Santa is check-marked off our list. ;)

Sunday was Brent's big run! It was the Annual K9 Candy Cane Fun Run 5k! I think I just like saying/typing it all out!

I actually snatched that BundleMe out of the consignment box to sell and threw it in the stroller - I figured it would stay better than a blanket and even though he'd be a little scrunched up, it would keep him warm! I think he was cozy in it - it was a chilly 35 degrees at race start!

All the racers ready at the starting line!

 This year I snagged a photo of the fastest dog - and I was right! This duo went on to win the whole thing with a time of 18:58! Good job Vizsla (the type of dog)! It seriously looked like it was just trotting along!!

And not too far behind was Daddy!! Brock and I cheered for him as he passed and he even had time for a little wave!

Here is Brent about to cross the finish line!

Congratulations Brent!! You completed the race at 23:50.8 - overall place 19th of 255 racers, 4th of 19 out of your division of Male 40-49, and All Male: 17th place out of 81! You bested last years time by almost a minute at 24:41! So so so proud of you!

Even though Diesel is retired, he still comes to check out the doggie-racers and cheer on Brent! And of course it's a tradition - he has to be in the picture with Santa! :)

This year I was festive and had Diesel wear his Christmas bandana
