Navy Pier

Nicole and I headed up to Chicago with the family as well as with Matt's family who were visiting from Canada.

The gardens in Navy Pier are always a treat to walk through or rest on one of the many benches like Matt and Lauren did. :)

 I have come to the belief that Garrett's popcorn is a pretty good imitation of the manna that the children of Israel ate so many years ago. :)


 We went up in the big Ferris Wheel on Navy Pier for the first time and I was quite impressed with the beautiful view of Chicago and the pier.
 My Nicole makes every adventure amazing and fun! Love her so very much!
 No you aren't supposed to stick your camera out of the car, yes I disobeyed the rules for this shot. ;)
 These two can always make each other laugh so easily. :)
 Mom and Dad LaBate were so kind to drive us all up to Chicago in one van so we didn't have to deal with the traffic.

 I love my second family!
 It was good to meet the Morgans and share some time with them.
 The three amigas :)



 The colorful lights as the sun went down were just too much of a temptation for us seeing as we had our good cameras along. :)

Kids Christmas Party

A couple of nights ago, Nicole planned a complete Christmas party for the younger kids in my family, complete with a gourmet hot chocolate bar, pigs-in-a-blanket, and some totally amazing pizza bites (pictured below)

I must say our apt. was filled with a lot of merriment and laughter as we enjoyed spending some time together.  Already looking forward to next Christmas doing this again. :)

 These pizza bites were filled with melted cheese and peperoni, mmm mmmm!



This picture is really begging for a caption. ;)

We had fun with a Klinko tournament and Mindy was the champion.

Then the kids helped us deconstruct our gingerbread house. :)

I love my little siblings, they are just too adorable. 

Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope your Christmas season is just wonderful!
