5 opened up the holiday season with a good ol' fashion 12 Days of Christmas BEATdown. Dandelion comes rolling in with Fa-B-O and the Geckster. Fabio and Gecko take off for scheduling reasons. Dandelion is left behind with a fresh crew. Regardless, all had fun building a little cardio fortitude.

Reflection: Luke 1:30-33
"30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
– Do not be afraid when the Holy Spirit is encouraging you to step out and be part of His plan.
– Be sure that your children are familiar with the Christmas story. Much more than just the baby in the manger.
Moleskine:
– Dandelion's quads were very warmed up from a blistering run with Fa-B-O and Gecko. We gave him a little MC but he was very disciplined not to push towards injury. He did keep reminding us how much he **LOVES** the 12 days of Christmas.
– Shredder tells us that Hooper has "a basketball game" or something…I'm pretty sure he is actually trying out for the Panthers, though, after some bookleg video footage of his flag football exploits have gone viral.
– Skipper hears what the workout is going to be and immediately expresses his thoughts that he should have gone running. **eye roll** When I ask him if anyone has ever bearcrawled from the top of LBH to his house, his face fills with dread and suddenly remembers, 'oh yes, many times, everyone loves it so much'…YHC is not fooled, but alas time was running a little short.
– Strudel and YHC has some fun little sprinty suicide battles. Pushing and encouraging each other; that's how we roll.
Blessed and grateful to lead you guys this morning –
Have a great Christmas ramp up.
