A slew of pictures from the last couple months.
On the Polar Express Metra train (which was really not very good).
A shot of downtown Chicago? Nope, Legoland. Which was OK at best. Don't understand how that place survives, as not a lot of reason to ever go back...not much to do there.

Mild winter has meant plenty of days to ride bikes.

Snacks for santa and the reindeer.
Stockings.
We needed to "make" Santa come a few days early, as we had to be in Cleveland for christmas. So we had walked down to Giordano's for pizza, and then I made an excuse I had to drop something off at the library. However, rather, I ran home real quick and put out the presents and made it look like santa and the reindeer had showed up. Spinkled half eaten carrots in the driveway, filled the stockings, ate the snacks, etc. Then quickly ran back down town and met them at the library. They had no clue.

All the cousins in Cleveland.

New Years Eve.
Taking advantage of a rare snowfall.
Finally made it to Rotary Hill for some sledding.
For whatever reason, the hill is so much less daunting in the winter. The kids run down that thing a million times in the warm weather, and its hard not to fall face first. No
