Ice Skating At Wrigley Field
Today we took the girls ice skating at Wrigley Field. And it was their first time ice skating too. Mommy, Daddy & Nana Marci hadn't been ice skating in years either but once we got our skates on you would have never known :) Josie just glided on the ice & kept saying "I'm skating...I'm skating!!!". Gracie kept saying "I know I can do it" & before long she was saying "I can do it...I can do it!!!" Both girls didn't want to get off the ice...such a fun day!!! Sunday, December 25, 2011

Oh Christmas Tree
As in our usual family tradition, today we went to Home Depot in search for the "perfect" Christmas Tree. The girls were very excited to go "tree shopping" & of course to help us carry it home. The beauty of living only 2 blocks from Home Depot :) As always, we look for the biggest Christmas tree we can find. We did get a little side-tracked when the girls decided to look at the smaller trees..."please can we get this one too!!!" Ultimately we ended up with an 11 foot Frazier Fir. Oh is she a beauty!!! Let the decorating fun begin.
