Are We There, Yet?

HoltFam3 absolutely LOVES Chicago. By "Chicago" I mean "Downtown Chicago" We visited this weekend as we do each year around Christmas. We love everything about the City. Reddington does very well with the car ride, shopping on Michigan, yummy food, the snow, & the hustle & bustle of the Christmas season. Our favorite little elf was so good all weekend~
Corner of Rush & Pearson
Kristin (avoiding the camera) & Nathan :)
The Pinkston's dog: "Bella"
Reddington hearts Bella
We absolutely love having our own personal tour guides, Ryan & Kristin. They take us places we've never been, including this yummy-goodness restaurant "The Bongo Room" This was my breakfast: French Toast Tower w/chocolate chunks, bananas, & a creme brulee (sp?) syrup~ Oh.my.word!
Ryan & Nathan
[I'm pointing out the length on that dress/top?]
Chillin' in the car while waiting on the rest of the crew...
This boy has been crazy about his paci since he started teething. He has one tooth poking through on the bottom... He is also starting to wave "bye-bye" & he's starting to clap, especially when you say "Yeah!" like he's done something spectacular; he is so.much.fun!
The Museum of Science & Industry
The Obama Family
We also enjoyed the restuarants "6 Degrees" & "RJ Grunts" for the first time. We loved Lincoln Park Zoo's "Zoo Lights" exhibit...See you next time, Chi town! Thank you, Pinkston Fam, for a wonderful weekend. You are so gracious & hospitable to host our family overnight. We love you!
HoltFam3 would like to wish Miss Ava Grace a Happy 1st Birthday! One year ago today we were awaiting your arrival. We couldn't wait to meet you~ We love you, niece/cousin Ava! We can't wait to celebrate with you tonight...Bring on the pink tutu! XOXO
