New Years Eve Bowling Party!!

My Dad treated us to a fun day at the bowling alley on New Years Eve. I remember as a kid how much fun we used to have bowling with our friends, and today I got to see my kids have the best time with their friends. Hudson got so excited when he knocked down even one pin, it was so fun to watch :)

Merry Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas this year! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my parents house, then went to Dan's parents for a yummy Christmas dinner. We are very lucky that we get to celebrate with both of our families, and even though it is pure craziness on Christmas I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Happy 5th Birthday Reese!!!

Reese,
Wow, I can not believe five years ago today I was holding you in my arms for the first time. You are such an amazing little girl and I am incredibly proud of the young lady you are becoming. You are independent, intelligent, funny, adventurous, and the list could go on. I love you so much and I look forward to another amazing year :)

Disney on Ice!!

Last year I took Reese to Disney on Ice with our friends Brooke and Tracy but I thought this year Hudson might enjoy it too. They both had the best time and I enjoyed spending the day with my kids!

Chicago!!!

I love this time of year in Chicago! We spent a couple of days with Dan's brother and then headed to the city for a few more. We had a jam packed five days, we went to the movies, Navy Pier, ice skating, the American Girl store, and Shedd Aquarium. Chicago was a true winter wonderland, and I am so glad the kids got to experience the snow during Christmas time :)

Navy Pier Winter Wonderland!

Reese loves ice skating!

Hudson loves popcorn!!

I love that Reese is willing to try anything!

The girls had the best time at American Girl!

Reese had the best time playing in the snow!

The aquarium

The Shedd Aquarium was the best one I have ever been too! I wish we could have stayed longer but we had a flight to catch. We will definitely go back on our next trip :)
