This week we celebrated Henry’s Birthday and part 1 of Christmas. We started with breakfast out for Henry’s Birthday, and then Mom and the kids went to “Winter Wonderland” out on Navy pier and had a blast. Eleanor was excited about a number of rides, and did the “Lighthouse Lift” all by herself :) Henry…

What a busy week! We started with a trip downtown for lunch and a visit with Santa. Unfortunately, they changed hours and Santa only arrives on the weekends this year, so we had to head back home empty handed. Henry was unfazed, but Eleanor was very sad. She didn’t get upset or throw a fit,…
