Chicago Family Trip

We spent a long weekend in Chicago where we visited the Shedd Aquarium and the Children's Museum. We also tried to visit the Willis Tower, but there was a 2 hour wait to just ride the elevator to the top. The boys weren't quite up to that after spending the day at the Aquarium. We met up with friends and enjoyed catching up, playing and swimming in the hotel pool.

Sam's 7th Birthday

Yesterday was Sam's 7th birthday. His theme this year was Minecraft. Complete with Creeper balloons, a really cool cake with characters from the game and a banner that Sam created all on his own...well, his Dad just drew the letters. Sam enjoyed his time with family and is enjoying all of his gifts.

Creeper!

Winter Wonderland

Santa is always a sight to see and the boys had their chance to tell the big guy what they wanted most for Christmas and have their picture taken with him at the Winter Wonderland in Plymouth. Afterwords they made some holiday projects, danced to festive music and listened to some Christmas stories.

Fall

We've been having some fun this season visiting apple orchards and pumpkin patches, jumping in huge leaf piles and trick or treating in the rain.

Hot chocolate!
