We believe in Santa Claus!

Paige asked me today if I believed in Santa Claus. I said yes. She said some kids told her that parents are Santa Claus. After visiting with Angi, we decided it was time to have the Santa Claus talk. I reminded Paige that Santa Claus is St. Nicholas who was a generous bishop who gave to the needy (from Turkey). I asked her who St. Nicholas imitated..."Jesus." Then, I explained that Angi and I followed the example of St. Nicholas in imitating the generosity of Christ...that we carried on the Spirit of Santa Claus rooted in our Christian faith. Therefore, we believe in Santa Claus!

Dash & Splash 5K

A friend stood with Paige and Grace while Angi and I ran the Dash & Splash 5K in Collinsville, IL. Grace told my friend that I would get 3rd...and I did. After the race, Paige said, "Why did you let those two guys beat you?!" I didn't have any choice...they were faster! After the race, we all enjoyed the water park.
