Chicago trip

We just returned from our wonderful annual getaway to Chicago to see my Aunt and Uncle and family. I wish I could accurately express how wonderful it is to get to go up there every winter. We just love the time with their family, we just love the time in the snow, and we get to relax so much while we're there.. =) We are so spoiled.

Thank you Aunt Nene and Uncle D for all your hospitality and for having us up year after year. We love you guys!!

Here are some of our highlights!

We got to go out to Hot Doug's for some famous Chicago Hot dogs..

They were very yummy

Everyone was happy..

Then. We got a very special treat..

We've been talking about going out to this forest preserve to go for a horse drawn sleigh ride for a few years now, and we finally got to do it! =)

Brynn was thrilled!
