The Suite Was Sweet :)
Thank you Trish & Brian for inviting us to a fun-filled Bears/Packers football game. Nothing better then inside seats on the 40 yard line on a very cold & snowy day in Chicago that included drinks, tailgate food & the best dessert cart!!! Oh & I can't forget our own private bathroom too. And the Packers WON...An overall great day :)
May The Best Team Win
A fun-filled family football rivalry...Go Pack Go!!! Luckily we are on the same side for MLB as we both cheer for our beloved Cubbies :)
We've Arrived...
Our first trip to the new Soldier Field :) Hard to believe but amazing none-the-less!!! I hope my "lucky" Packers socks bring a WIN!!!

Mommy Notes
Any time I'm going out at night the girls tell me how much they are going to miss me & that they want me to check on them when I get home & to give them 100 kisses :) Tonight I came home to a special note from each of them. I love how they both told me to "Have Fun" too. Gracie said that she created her note first & that Josie wanted to do one too :) Oh well, it doesn't matter to me, as I keep each & every note that they make me in a very special place as I know these notes will make me smile for years to come :) Thanks to my girls!!!
Drinks At The 95th
I love our GNO holiday tradition of having drinks at the 95th on Michigan Avenue. As always, tasty bubbly, interesting conversations & an amazing view for miles of Chicago. #welovechicago

Merry Christmas To All
And to all a goodnight!!! Our traditional family Santa hat photo. It was a "selfie this year :) Ho Ho Ho until next year :)
Christmas Bonus
Our family tradition is to open presents throughout the day so that Christmas lasts longer. And so we can enjoy watching each other opening each & every present too :) Some favorites from the day...Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs Castle, pajamas from our new Favorite movie "Frozen", & Gracie's infinity scarf & belt.
Christmas Breakfast
The girls wanted me to make them a very fancy Christmas breakfast. They ordered "fancy" so I gave them fancy. They enjoyed mini waffles dippers in my new waffle pan & they dunked them in chocolate syrup, whip cream & of course holiday red & green sprinkles. As you can see, they were absolutely delicious :)
Mommy Made The Good List Too
Santa knows mommy very well as her stocking was full of many of her favorite things :) Thank you & cheers to Santa!!!
My Oregon Guy :)
A special Christmas gift for daddy. Now he will be all set to BBQ & watch his beloved Oregon Ducks :) Let's go Ducks!!!
Who Wants A Hot Dog?
A good spa business needs a snack cart for their hungry customers, right? Well the girls certainly thought it was a good idea. Thank you Papa & Nana. And Lanie is already hard at work selling snacks :) The hot dogs & french fries are top sellers!!!
Santa Delivered

Gracie's Christmas Concert
Tonight we enjoyed the 1st grade through 8th grade Christmas Concert. Nothing gets you more into the Christmas spirit then listening to children singing Christmas songs. Gracie & her class sang beautifully. And Josie not only enjoyed the concert but she waved & shouted out to everyone she knew as they walked by our pew :) Good thing most of them heard her too!!! :)
