Saturday morning we woke up way before the sun and crabbily made our way to the Brown line. We headed to Grant Park for the start of the Hot Chocolate 5K! I ran the race with my mom, Uncle Eddie, and cousin Bekah; Dad bested us all and ran the 15K. We warmed up quickly and enjoyed the morning view of the skyline as we ran along the lake.
And the finish line greeted us with delicious chocolate fondue and hot chocolate!
Afterward John and I enjoyed a cup of coffee with Mom and Dad and a sneak peak of the Macy's Christmas tree! We just happened to show up during the lighting ceremony...very cool.
After enjoying a nap that afternoon, we headed to the south side to visit Gram and Gramps Hoekstra. Our evening was complete with Aurelios, games, ice cream, and great company. Thanks, G&G!
And on Sunday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
Mom and I enjoyed a relaxing pedicure together and then a delicious dinner with the whole fam at Cafe De Luca. YUM. I am so thankful for you, Mom. You are a huge blessing in my life.
And now back to the not-so-fun stuff. School work this morning and work in the ER tonight!
