| The suit that didn't quite make it to the run! |
For a brief moment, I thought about wearing the entire elf suit, stockings included to the jingle bell run. Our volunteer Eddie had brought it with him hoping one of us would be brave enough to model it in front of an army of runners. But my shyness prohibited such an act, and Neelum and I ended up just wearing little pieces of the costume. So while there was no life size elf at our water station, we did make use of our van to make for a rather festive rest stop! With lights and bells, I hope we weren’t too much of a distraction. Many of the runners were wearing hats, and we even had a pack of individuals dressed as reindeer, literally interconnected, running the race…talk about coordination!

It sounds like you are making the very best of your time in Iraq. I am so sure the troops really appreciate all you are doing. It has been cold and beautiful here for the last week with the temp in the teens. You would have loved it. We miss you and think of you often and pray for you safety. Bob and Marilyn
