Sweet home Chicago.....

Our stay in the city was phenomenal! We visited the bean, the ca-cuarium, and Macys! It was such an exciting little day! Nana was a great tour guide, and we were lucky to have my mom's condo for home base. Then of course, mama and papa got the opportunity to enjoy a bears game....brrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Sweet girls and sweet faces....

I cannot believe that my amazing girl has turned one! What a fast fast year! She is trying so hard to walk, taking a rand step or two here and there. She is starting to sign a bit to tell us she wants more, or is all done. And she and her sister are even trying sometimes a little bit to play together...okay, maybe we wont push it!!!!! Happy bday my amazing girl. You are such a joy to us all, and we are absolutely blessed to have you in our lives!!!!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

This was the pinnacle of the morning...the long awaited for gift, bigger than life, the secret in the basement, the long, detailed planned out, labor intensive and most PERFECT gift for our girls! Boppa went above and beyond and created an absolute masterpiece. It is beautiful, and the girls' eyes twinkled when they saw it! Thank you Boppa!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Molly's second and Maya's first! Both girls got to sport their Christmas party dresses, enjoyed climbing on Uncle Todd, practiced both climbing and opening presents, and just had a great day! Thanks Nana and Boppa for making the holidays an amazing and magical time! What fond memories I have of a spectacular Christmas in Yorkville. Thanks

Such amazing snuggles...

This was one of the sweetest Christmas vacations. We all just had time to relax and enjoy each others company.

Polar Express

This is just one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I fondly remember my mother reading it to my little sisters when we were young, and Boppa just is magical about how he reads a story. I always get tears in my eyes every time. Thanks boppa....I love the wonder in your voice, and the amazement in my daughter's eyes.

Tubby time at Nana's

Tubby time just never gets old. There are always silly faces to be made, bubbles to play with, and soft towels to cuddle up and dry off with!
