We'll be there with bells on!

We woke up bright and early this morning to take part in what has become a holiday tradition for us - supporting our beautiful niece, Sadie, at the 27th annual Jingle Bell Run/Walk benefiting the Arthritis Foundation. We met up with our other team members, Sadie's Stars, at the Westin Hotel for a team picture before bundling up to complete the 5k route.

Many walkers decide to dress up in festive costumes for the event. In years past, I've seen folks dressed up as: Mr. and Mrs. Clause, reindeer, gingerbread men, elves, snowmen, presents, giant Starbucks cups (this is Seattle), a snow globe....the list goes on and on. Mr. Jansson decided that he'd like to dress up this year too as..."Senior Navidad". (I'm pretty sure our niece is scarred for life with embarrassment.) 

"Senior Navidad" in all his glory...

 

 

 

Mr. Jansson and I with the in laws.

There were over 10 kids who wanted to have their photo taken with "Senior Navidad". It was pretty cute how excited they all were to see him.


Needless to say, we had a great time and were happy that it wasn't raining this year!
