On Saturday December 13, 2008 we participated in the 5k Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis. We did it with some family friends. We signed all of our kids up and they formed a team. Their team raised over $400.00 dollars for arthritis. We are very proud of them. We didn't know if Tiffany would be able to make the whole 3 miles, but Jeff and I decided we would carry her part of the way if we had to. We just thought this was very important, and we wanted her to do somthing for others. She was very excited about doing this. She started off strong. By mile 2 she started getting tired. We kept asking her if she wanted one of us to carry her, but she said no. She said " I am going to walk the whole way." She finished the race. She ran the last little bit to the finish line and did 3 miles in 1 hr 3 min and 46 seconds. We were so proud of her. It was such a fun experience. We are trying to teach Tiffany about doing things for others. She has such a caring and loving spirit. We feel so lucky that Heavenly Father picked us to be her parents. Jeff and I decided to make this 5k Jingle Bell Run/Walk a yearly tradition!!
