Chicago Christmas

We had a wonderful time with family in Chicago over Christmas! Here are a few pictures of our time.
It was a blast to have the cousins together and to get to spend time with Harmony, Briant, Heather, Moises and Grandpa and Nana Walker. We missed Heidi, Bob and their family!

Truth be told...the flight with Juliette was long and hard work. Thank goodness for the IPAD. She watched a lot of Curious George, but it was still hard to keep her in our seats and out of business class if she got to go in the isle. Juliette was teething and had a cold most of the time we were there BUT it was worth it for sure. You can tell from the pictures below that Luca was all smiles. He loves to travel!

Highlights:
1. Playing in the snow and going on nature walks in the park across the street
2. Watching the kids play together
3. Going to the nature museum and going to an animal show
4. Going out for lunch with Harmony and Briant, and dinner with Heather and Moises (thanks for watching the kids- mom and dad)
5. The excitement of Christmas and the chance to spend it with our big family!
6. Going running John with his dad, and I with his mom
7. Lots of quality time together and the kids playing so well together!































Luca came home to a space room!


Some of my favorite quotes of Luca's

1. When he saw a deer at a nature park, "My wish came true"
2. When it was snowing Christmas Eve morning, "I have been waiting my whole life for this"
3. After taking a picture with Uncle Briant in his pilot uniform, "Please keep this picture forever"

When Juliette and mascara meet

This is what happened in a few quiet moments this afternoon...when Juliette found my make up bag. She was quick to say, "messy, I sorry mama, clean up"

Wonderful Visit with Josh and Annie!
















 
Josh and I had a fantastic and jam packed visit. We went to pike place, on the monorail, space needle, electric trains at the Seattle Center, Merry-Go-Round, back to pike place. Then Sunday we headed to the mountains and went sledding then went on a ferry ride at sunset. Monday we went out for breakfast and to the airport! Wow, what a wonderful time, the kids played so well together and had such a blast! Thanks again for coming Josh and Anne!!! We are so glad you did!
