Thanksgiving Roundup

This Thanksgiving, as usual, we traveled to good ole Southern Illinois to visit with J’s side of the family.  We enjoyed wonderful food prepared by MaGa (the girl’s grandma) and also had a s’more or two by the roaring fire.  While it was a bit chilly, we were able to get out a bit and go to the Science Center on Saturday.  After that we ate at a greek restaurant in St. Louis with Pop (the girl’s grandpa) and the awesome Aunt Amanda (J’s sis).  Yum!  Here are some pictures from the weekend of fun:

C riding the rocking horse that her great-grandpa made many moons ago
So despite the loooooooong car ride and especially the last hour of said lonnnnnnnng car ride whereas a little toddler has had enough and wants out NOW and a big sister who thinks shushing her baby sister quite loudly will help anything and a mother that is trying to read her book and a father that is trying to drive…
we had an awesome Thanksgiving holiday.  How about you?

Thanks to them…

I have everything I need.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Had a good life until C gotta hold of it…

Halloween Weekend Fun

On our way to pick some pumpkins…yes we waited till October 30th to do this!
If you live in the Chicago suburbs, go to the Farm at the Center in Palos Park!
When we got home, Baby C took a nap while Daddy and Miss M carved up
the pumpkin!  But first you gotta remove the guts!
Getting ready to trick or treat on October 31st.  Miss M had to wait
until Baby C woke up from her nap.  It was torture!
Candy!  Baby C riding in style while her sister gets the goods.
Overall it was a great weekend filled with fun and good weather.  It was a little chilly but at least it was sunny and not raining or snowing!  Most of my childhood memories of Halloween are of trick or treating in the rain and/or with a winter coat on!  Gotta love Chicago.
