Awake...

At 2pm. Looks like nap time may be soon.

 

Home from Chicago

Just after 4am a very tired CJ arrived home. He dropped his stuff in the living room

and headed straight to bed. 

He did tell us that he didn't sleep on the bus and that the trip involved lots of waiting.

Thankfully there is no school on Monday so there will be lots of time for him to recover!

Goldilocks or Tucker?

Tucker likes CJ's new bedroom. The bed was made when we left for Chicago. When we got back it looked like this. 

Pioneers March in Chicago

There they are. Right before Santa and his elves.

 

We didn't wait to see Santa, we followed the band. And were rewarded with a little bit of post game and a whole lot of Long Train. A crowd gathered and were wowed by by the size and ability of our amazing band.

 

 

Off to Chicago

Dropped a very excited CJ off at school this morning. 

A 4am wake up call and a 5am drop off. He was smiling the whole time. 

After a nap for me and a little bit of work for Steve we headed for Chicago at 10:30ish. Around South Bend, IN we ran into a bit of snow.

Thankfully Steve had put the snow tires on over the weekend.

Our hotel was all decked out for Thanksgiving.

Complete with a real gingerbread house.

For dinner we met up with the Zapps for an authentic deep dish pizza.

We then window shopped along the Magnificent Mile. One store did draw me in where I bought a Christmas ornament.

It was a great night. Looking forward to the parade tomorrow. 

 

 

 

Friday Night Live

This year's theme was The Greatest Show on Turf. We sat under the big top and were treated to show by clowns, strongmen, bearded ladies, flapper girls and of course the amazing band.

CJ is in the last row on the far right.
