winter wonderfest, downtown chicago.

Over the weekend we all crammed into Howard & Kylie’s car (4 adults, 3 kids, 2 pack-n-plays...you get the idea) and headed to Chicago’s Navy Pier for Winter Wonderfest. It was more than we expected! The festival featured 750,000 sparkling lights, 25,000 holiday ornaments and hundreds of beautifully decorated trees. Dozens of rides, games, music and live entertainment for all to enjoy, plus an indoor ice rink for skating. Bennett & Evan had a great time.

We had a quick birthday party for Kylie and the kids had fun with the decorations and games. Oh, and I have to say that 6-week-old Tate was as good as could possibly be expected - we didn't hear a peep out of him the entire 2 days!

Sunday the weather was perfect - almost warm for December, so we walked around on Michigan Avenue, visited the train display in the Hancock Building and had a great lunch. Oh, and we saw a few famous people - Rasheed Wallace and Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics.

We hope to make it an annual Christmas tradition!
