Babe and Jay's Shower









Spent the afternoon amongst great people and great food! The kids had fun with some yoga blocks outside the party room. What fun they had with Stack em' and Whack em'! I think Henry is dreaming the very minute about breaking through the towers of blocks he was building.

Christmas in the city







We kicked the season off by taking advantage of an amazingly mild and sunny weekend. Henry's first metra train ride downtown was complete success. He sat on the upper level on the way in, so cute! Both boys were complete troopers battling much walking, strolling, and crowding. Henry got some great looks from people as he strutted down State St. yelling "Yeah Baby, Yeah Baby." No clue. Don't ask. No clue.

We saw some of the Festival of Lights parade, he was happy with Mickey. We ended the evening at Macys. He saw the giant tree in the Walnut Room. He looked at the famous windows. And we headed back to the train where he even used the metra car potty. So thrilling I guess!! At least we know we can manage the short trip downtown with 2 kids in tow. I'm not booking reservations to Disney anytime soon, but I know its not impossible to keep kids fed and entertained on the go.
