White Christmas and Polar Express



We're getting in the Christmas spirit! Today was kinda a dreary, wet, cold day and perfect for curling up in front of the tv. My all time favorite movie is White Christmas and Maya loves Polar Express.

Fun in the Liberty Zone!










Fun, fun, fun! It was Aubrey's birthday party in the morning, at Liberty Zone and a family party in the afternoon. Maya had a blast, my little social butterfly.

Cousin Pat shopping for Frango mints to take to ex-Chicago friends in Arizona.

The girls (Maya, me, Pat, and Mom) went to the big city for lunch at Macy's (formerly known as Marshall Field's) in the Walnut Room. The tree was beautiful! We enjoyed a delicious lunch and dessert. Maya opted to send a letter to Santa rather than go see him.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!






For Grandpa's birthday, we went to Blue Chip and then came home for birthday cake!

Mary's New House






My good friend, Mary, invited us over to see her beeeeee-you-teee-ful new house. Wow! And yes, I forgot to take pictures! Ugh! Well, I'll just have to go back, hehehe. Here's Maya clowning at home before we went trying to get in the way of my taking a picture of our stunning housewarming gift (if I do say so myself).
