A Blur

Sometimes a blur is exactly what life feels like around here. We are always on the go and life happens so fast. The boys are all growing getting older and perhaps in some ways wiser. I try to hold on to the magic of childhood especially this time of the year.

We have been doing many holiday traditions and adding in new things too. Last Friday night was crazy warm so we decided to go to midtown crossing to eat at Chicago Dawg House, a favorite of all the boys! We then walked around looking at the window displays. Which was all a lot of fun!

Admiring the Henry Doorly Zoo window. It was the best of the night. 

Grayson just spotted the big tree. 

To our surprise as we were heading to the car we saw a gathering of people in the park area and were treated to a light show to Mannheim Steam Roller holiday music. It was pretty cool. Colin enjoyed it the most.

Saturday we spent a good part of the warm afternoon putting lights on the house.

Tristan's turn to hang the lights. 

Colin's turn.  I think he liked the idea more before got so high up.

Of course Mr. Daredevil had to give the ladder a try. He did not get very far.
