Chicago at Christmastime

This weekend Josh and I were lucky to have some visitors :) My Mom, Dad, brother Jeff, and sister in law Shari came to visit us and spend the day Saturday downtown Chicago. We had so much fun! It had snowed pretty good Friday night, so everything was covered in some pretty snow and even though it was chilly, it was the perfect day to spend downtown looking at all the pretty decorations! 

Here are some pictures:

 The Christmas tree inside Macy's.

 Cold and blustery :)

 So pretty!!

 Blurry...but I thought it was pretty.

 Most delicious pizza. Ever.

 All of us after our delicious dinner!

 The Bean! With snow!

Sunday they all came over for breakfast and then Mom, Shari and I headed to the outlet mall while Dad, Jeff, and Josh stayed home to watch the Bears game (which they ended up winning!!). We didn't have a ton of time to shop so we just hit a few stores, then went to pick up the boys so that they could all see our new house! They loved it :) How can you not?! After a quick lunch of leftover pizza they had to get headed home. It was nice to not be the ones driving for a change :) 

After they left Josh and I headed to the Sears Appliance store to visit our buddy who sold us our fridge...and he got us some sweet deals on a new oven, washer, and dryer (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). So we are basically set now! All we need is a dishwasher, but we can live without that. For a little bit...haha. This makes me even more excited - and impatient - to get into the new house. I can't wait :)  

Alrighty well I should probably get off here and find something more productive to do...so I hope you all have a great day :)
