Chicago

While we were home we planned a day to go to the city with the girls. We picked the best day of the week to be there. The weather was beautiful, we hardly needed out coats. The girls were amazed by all of the tall buildings and loved looking out on the lake, as we drove by.




Our first stop once we got to the city was to Moody Bible Institute. We were able to show the girls where Daddy went to school and they also got to see where Grandpa worked. Jeremy never actually went to school there while his dad was working there, he got the job the week Jeremy graduated. It would had been nice if they were there at the same time they could have drove together to school/work.





We had lunch at Rain Forest Cafe....Myah wasn't sure what to think at first.....



I think the girls wanted one of each of these.......





When we sat down to eat they put us with the monkeys......as you can see we had our own monkey at our table for our own entertainment.......



After lunch we headed over to the John Hancock. The girls were amazed at how high up we were and how little everything looked. The weather was beautiful so we were able to get a lot of really good pictures!


After we left the Hancock, we headed over to Ghirardelli for an Ice Cream Sundae, it was delicious!!! The best part was they were handing out samples of the my favorite, chocolate squares with carmel. Yummy!
After our sweet treat, we headed back to school to get our car and say good-bye to Grandpa then headed back to my parents house. We all really had a great time in the city!

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts.
