Chicago

We went to Chicago between Christmas and New Year's and had a blast! We took Amtrak up there and our hotel was 3 blocks away from Michigan Ave. We went to the aquarium, planetarium, Field Museum, the Museum of Science and Industry (our favorite) and the Hancock Observatory.
The views from the Hancock were amazing!

This is the U-505 that we captured from the German in WWII. This was my favorite exhibit!

Christmas Everywhere

Christmas was busy this year, we went to Houston, MO then to Columbia, then home, then off to Chicago for 4 days (more about that later), and then down to Springfield.
Now this is the way to sled. All fun and no work!

The Christmas Season

Life is crazy right now.

Last weekend we went to Journey of Bethlehem Friday night and had a Christmas party Saturday night, which was awesome and we didn't go home until 2 am! The weekend before that we had a going away party for our dear friends who are moving back to PA. We will miss them alot and can't wait to go visit them (and they aren't even gone yet)!

Jeremy's working 12 hour days until the end of the year and on top of that he has two finals in 4 days and 2 huge projects to finish. I haven't seen him at all this week. We can't wait until Monday when all that is finished.

Almost have all the Christmas shopping done, had great success last weekend at the mall...for myself and others. :) I can't wait to see everyone for Christmas and those I don't get to see, we'll be thinking of you!

Our Tree

Well I guess it's officially Christmas. Here's our beautiful Christmas tree!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in southwestern Missouri, 3 days in Springfield and a day in Joplin at my cousin's gorgeous new house. We had alot of fun playing with our nephew and even discovered a pool built in 1922 with our cousins. It was pretty cool and the food was amazing! Our nephew Caedman with Aunt Amanda!

Here's some pictures of the pool that we found in the middle of the woods.
Here's Jeremy trying out the grapevine behind cousins house. Karissa's sitting on the ground trying to recover, she just tried, lost her grip and landed hard on the big rocks cutting up her knee and getting a nice looking bruise on her hip.
