Alex's Baptism/Children's Christmas Pageant








Dave, Sarah, Sean, Riley, Alex, Becky and Kevin


Alex was baptized on Sunday, the same day as the Children's pageant at church. Wyatt was a turkey, I know, I didn't understand that either, Lauren and Riley were both angels. Kaitlyn is still a little too young, maybe next year!

Chicago!

Andy and I decided to treat ourselves to a little vacation for the holidays. We left Kaitlyn with my parents and took a three day trip to Chicago. The weather in the city was great, it was in the high 30s all weekend so we were able to be outside a lot and see how the city was decorated for the holidays. While we were there we became the master of public transportation, we only got lost in a not-so-nice neighborhood once! We bought a CityPass which got us into a lot of different attractions. We went to the Field Museum of Natural History, Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, experienced Christmas shopping on Magnificent Mile, saw the Winter Wonderfest at the Navy Pier, and of course we traveled to the top of the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears tower. We tested my fear of heights by walking out on the glass bottom "Ledge" that was recently opened on the 103rd floor.
