Chicago

We headed up to Chicago for the weekend for Lisa's baby shower and so that I could meet my best friend from High school's daughter, Micaela!!

 

I will do a whole separate blog post on the baby shower tomorrow!

 

We had a great time as always!  After the shower Friday night we spent Saturday relaxing around the house watching football!  Sunday we took the kids to a pumpkin farm!  Maddie was in heaven but I am a terrible mom and didn't dress them right for the COLD weather! oops!  We had lots of runny noses and cold hands :( 
We left Maddie up in Chicago for the week and she's going to meet us in Amarillo this weekend for my cousin Lauren's wedding!  Pretty sure she isn't missing us one bit ;)

Great Grandma and Madelyn feeding the goats

 

Eli LOVED LOVED LOVED his Aunt Lisa this trip!  He must know she's about to have her own baby and trying to soak up all the attention he can get!

 

Papa John and Maddie feeding whatever that thing is.....

Eli was very upset we wouldn't let him in the bathroom to watch Maddie take a bath (their tile is slippery) so he sat outside the door trying to look in....

Sweet Micaela!
