CHICAGO 2010! ONCE AGAIN WE MADE THE BOLD MOVE TO BE IN A HUGE, BUSY, COLD CITY FOR THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. BUT ONCE AGAIN WE HAD ALOT OF FUN AND BREN LOVES- I REPEAT LOVES CHICAGO. ALL YEAR HE SAYS-"MEMBER WHEN WE STAYED IN THAT HOTEL AND SWAM???" SO HE WAS VERY EXCITED. 
THEN WE SHOPPED AND SHOPPED. IN ONE OF THE MALLS WE SAW SANTA AND AT FIRST WE WERE GONNA WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN LEIGH WAS AWAKE TO HAVE ALL THE KIDS TOGETHER BUT THEN WHILE WE STARTED WALKING AWAY BREN PUT HIS HEAD DOWN AND STARTED TEARING UP. HE CRIED AND SAID SANTA WAS TOO BUSY FOR HIM. HE IS A HUGE BELIEVER WHOLE HEARTED LY IN SANTA SO JEFF AND I OF COURSE WERE HEARTBROKEN SO WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GO BACK AND IF WE HAD TO DO IT 2CE WELL THAT'S OK WITH US. HE WAS SO THANKFUL IT WAS SO SWEET. THEN IT WAS CLOSE TO OUR TURN AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW LEIGH WOKE UP AND EVERYONE GOT TO TAKE PICTURES. BUT THE ONLY THING BREN WANTED TO DO WAS TALK TO SANTA. BREN TALKED HIS EAR OFF I SWEAR. HE ASKED FOR AN XBOX 345 ???(NOT SURE THE MANUFACTURER CAN CHANGE THE NAME FROM XBOX 360-HA!) THEN A SPIDER MAN CLOCK AND BEING EVER SO GENEROUS ASKED SANTA IF HE COULD BRING HIS MOMMY AND DADDY WATER GUNS :) AND EVEN LITTLE LEIGH WAS LOVING SANTA- NO TEARS-BUT I THINK SHE WAS NT EXACTLY AWAKE YET!
THEN WE WENT BACK TO OUR HOTEL ROOM TO RELAX BEFORE DINNER- I TOOK SOME CUTE CANDID PICS-
DYLAN TRYING TO AVOID ME AND BRENNIE HAMMING IT UP
LEIGH TRYING TO FEED UNCLE ROY HER GLOVE IN THE ELEVATOR:)
THEN IT WAS OFF TO OUR FAVORITE CHICAGO EATING ESTABLISHMENT- MAGGIANOS! WE ALWAYS EAT SO WELL THERE- WE ORDER FAMILY STYLE SO WE GET 2 APPS, 2 SALADS, 2 PASTAS, 2 ENTREES AND 2 DESERTS. HERE WAS OUR MENU-
STUFFED MUSHROOMS AND BRUSCHETTA (AND CALAMARI-WHICH WAS AN ACCIDENT BUT WE ATE THAT TOO) CAESAR AND HOUSE SALAD, LASAGNA AND SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS, CHICKEN PARMESEAN AND SALMON, CREME BRULEE AND CHEESECAKE. CAN U SAY FULL???
I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF JEFF AND I SO MUCH!
THEN SATURDAY AM BREN, JEFF, DYL AND ANNIE WENT TO THE POOL. I JUST PLAYED PHOTOGRAPHER.
