Lately I have been so behind and I have been updating the blog with lots of new posts at one time. The front page only holds a few posts and then they move to the previous page. To make sure that you see all of the new posts...when you get towards the bottom of the home page on the right hand side it says older posts. Click on that to bring you back to the previous post page. I still have more from News Years Eve so keep checking back! Enjoy!☺

Navy Pier
Last Wednesday I tried to organize a Young family outing. We were all off work/school except for Lauren...we missed you Lauren! We all went down to the city to go to Navy Piers Winter Wonderland. Apparently everyone in Chicago had the same idea as me:( It was very crowded! 
The kids didnt get to go on any rides but they loved sitting on these huge chairs:)

The indoor skating rink was pretty neat!
Papa and his girlie 
Auntie Stacey and her snuggle bug Zachary♥
Uncle Randy and Quintin 
Colin was amazed by this flying ride! He was too little to ride anyways.
It was decorated really pretty with lots of trees and lights!
We ate lunch at the Billy Goat Tavern and then the kids went outside to see the boats. Despite the day not going as planned due to the crowds we still had a great time!

Pranks, Pranks and More Pranks:)
Cam and I are so lucky to have such wonderful, fun neighbors!! We are always playing pranks on each other and the pranks have seemed to escalate over time:) Here are some of the latest. Rachel and John moved their lawn furniture into Rose and Dave front yard one day. 
Of course that night Rose and Rachel had to test it out:)
The latest prank was when we came home from out of town and found this! It was John and Rachel's Christmas tree in our front yard. Then Rose thought it would be funny to decorate it with fake money. We laughed SO hard when we pulled up and saw our money tree. You should have seen Kaitlyn and Colins faces when they saw the money...they thought it was real!
It did look real! Thanks to our wonderful neighbors for always keeping us on our toes and laughing:)

Christmas Morning
Christmas morning Cam and I were up before the kids. We couldn't believe that they slept in a little. Here are the kids finally up and ready to see if Santa came!
He did come and the kids must have been really good this year!! Every year Kaitlyn and Colin love using their Cookies 4 Santa plate that Grandma Willis made for them.
The kids made these tiles in school for us. They did such a good job keeping the gifts a secret til we opened them Christmas morning!
