Our Family Christmas, December 24th





After sleeping with her presents for 3 nights, Abigail FINALLY got to open them!

Chicago!







A couple of weeks ago, Abigail, Rebecca, my mom and I went to Chicago for the day. Our first stop was the American Girl Place where Abigail got a new Bitty Baby. She picked out Mallory dressed in a princess outfit (shocking, right?). Next we went to the Thomas store at Water Tower and Abigail rode the train twice, strapping Mallory in next to her if possible. Grandma then took Abigail to the children's museum at Navy Pier where they met up with Joel while Rebecca and I shopped. After dinner and dessert with Joel and Kelly we headed home and Abigail crashed in her carseat. We had a blast!

Critter Barn






After seeing Santa we went to the Critter Barn where they have a live Nativity and tons of baby animals. We tried to give the kids both sides of Christmas in one night! :)

Santa!!



Henry screamed when he saw Santa...Abigail loved him. :)

The Butler and Henry




My parents have had this butler for as long as I can remember. Abigail loves to check if he has candy on his tray every time she goes to my parents' house. Henry just figured this out recently so he loves to check for fruit snacks and mini marshmellows. Last night he was going back and forth between the toys and butler cracking me up!
