Merry Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas in Palatine!  We got to spend Christmas Eve with the Chernesky's and Burke's at Navy Pier and Christmas with the Schmidt's and Shripka's.  It was a great respite in the middle of our move from Virginia to Texas.  I somehow lost a lot of my pictures (maybe it had to do with packing our lives and driving across the country), but click on the collage below for those that I still have.

Happy 3rd birthday Megan!

Megan had a wonderful 3rd birthday focused on her two favorite things--Minnie Mouse and princesses.  She continues to be a very sweet and funny girl and has started to talk our ears off on a regular basis.

Thanksgiving 2011

We've had a very eventful month culminating in a wonderful celebration of Thanksgiving with Granny and Grandpa including a celebration at Ty's school, a Capitals game (which they won in overtime), a trip to Old Town Alexandria, hikes in the woods, lots of fun around the house, and of course, turkey.

Making the best of a missed connection

Why stay in the airport for 11 hours when you can drag two kids and two suitcases through the subway and streets of NYC to visit an old favorite destination??
