Where's Jimmy...
If you look closely you will be able to see Jim in the crowd. There were so many people there that it took up over 3 min just to get to the starting line. In this picture we have not officially started the run yet.

And it begins...
Jim and I thought that we would join the 21st century and start our very own blog...everyone else is doing it so we figured we might as well. Plus, it will give me a reason to take more pictures. On this blog we will attempt to keep you all more informed about our life and times in Chicagoland.
This past weekend was Thanksgiving we had a GREAT day. Thursday morning we woke-up bright and early, 6:30 am, to take part in Naperville's Turkey Trot. This is the second year that we have taken part in the turkey trot and it has become our turkey morning tradition. It is nice to run a 5k in the morning and then stuff our face in the afternoon. Jim and I ran the race in 30:15 which is 3 min slower than last year but...there are so many people you can't run much quicker. Plus, this year, it was snowing. Snow is so much better than rain!
For Thanksgiving dinner we headed over to cousin Joanne's...great food and great company including my 91 year old aunt Kay. This was the second year that we were at Joanne's for thanksgiving and we are hoping that we will be invited back next year.
Friday night we went to downtown Naperville for their Christmas parade and lighting festival. The parade is not much...random people walking down the street, short bus with the folks from the retirement homes, reindeer (yes, real ones) and Santa. The lighting of the downtown area is really cool. All of the lights are on one circuit and they are turned on all at once...see a few pictures below of the lights and our friends that we were with that night.
Look for more posting soon.
