Family for Christmas

My mom, my nephew and one of my nieces have come to Chicago for Christmas!

We have done many many things since they have been here. Here is just a highlight.

Angie and Heath and I went to see The Phantom of The Opera before our family got here. Alyssa was so happy to be with her Nanny again. We rode the train down to THE CITY (Chicago.) My niece and nephew don't get to take train rides very often. They loved it.
They also loved all of the really big buildings.
We took them to the top of the Sears Tower.

We got Chicago style pizza at Giordano's.

We went to FAO Schwartz inside of Macy's Department Store We looked at the Macy's windows all dressed up in the Nutcracker. My sister Angie took us all to see the Nutcracker the first day that they were here, but it was so cold that we didn't get any pictures at the Theatre.

When we got home from the city, the kids were all allowed to open one present... they all got a book.

The next morning Santa had come and for the kids, the real fun began.

We also have been sledding and had a big Christmas dinner last night. We are now getting ready to go to the movies. Then we go to Heath's parents for more Christmas. I will post more pictures later.
