Christmas 2011

What an incredible Christmas we had this year....
Appetizers in front of a trimmed tree, can't beat that!
Our tradition when we are in Chicago on Christmas Eve is to go to Shaw's Crab House- great service, incredible food!




Mmmm...Shaw's....
After so much great food we needed to walk it off in the fresh air and city lights....

We dropped by The Peninsula to see all the decorations - so festive! 


The Watertower was lit up as always....

That's Kel being my "subject" walking in front of the water tower :-)
4th Pres was gorgeous as always - a wonderful sermon and carols!
                           

Mom was really excited about her new snowmobile helmet that has special technology so it won't fog up - now we need some snow!!!
On Christmas Day we went to Dan's Uncle Tim's for an amazing dinner.  They have a huge family and a tradition where you all draw numbers (1-12) out of a bowl and then get with your group to determine how you will sing your piece of the 12 Days of Christmas.  I got #1, thankfully Dan's dad and cousin were really into it so my voice was a little drown out!  Then back to my place for gift exchange with Dan!
 Merry Christmas!!!
