New Year

On New Year's Eve I caught a last minute flight to Omaha while Jason stayed home with the kids. My mom, my sister and I spent New Year's Day in the hospital hanging out with my dad. (Not the best way to ring in the New Year. ) Three days later Dad passed away. Jason and the kids came out to attend the funeral. We ended up flying out of Chicago and to make a not so fun trip a little more fun we spent a day in Chicago on the way out. The kids loved the Legoland Discovery Center.

Navy Pier

Sorry for the blurry pics, but that is as good as I got.

He won't admit it, but Jason loved this ride more than the kids.

Christmas Morning

Jack wasn't too excited about waking up at 5 am.

Every year Elisabeth leaves Santa a note with some treats.

Christmas Eve

We went to the Boston Pops children's concert on Christmas Eve. It was such a fun concert and the kids had a great time. I think it will become part of our Christmas Eve tradition.
