Christmas in Chicago!

The Sunday before Christmas Alan, Brett, and I flew out to Chicago to visit my Aunt Sue, Uncle Jeff, Grandma Willie, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Jerry, and cousins Kim and Amber for the whole week! Wow!! It was amazing :) We had so much fun doing nothing and just visiting with our family. We literally left the house 3 times... 1) All the girls went to get pampered together 2) The whole family went out to eat together in Naperville on Christmas Eve and 3) To go back to the airport to fly home. We played Wii a lot, ate a lot, talked a lot, and watched movies a lot!!

This is Aunt Sue & Uncle Jeff's House! How beautiful! Check out the snow around the mailbox!
This was one of the days it snowed all day and really hard!

Brett and Aunt Sue playing the piano! We have a natural talent everyone! ;) Grandma Willie (who Brett calls MawMaw Willie) kept telling Brett "You are hurting my ears!" So then when MawMaw Willie would play, Brett was quick to tell her right back "MawMaw Willie you hurt Brett's ears!"

Uncle Jeff teaching Brett how to play the Wii! You should see that boy swing at Wii Baseball... Uncle Jeff will probably take the credit when Brett goes to the Major League! ;)

One day we got to go out and enjoy the snow!! It was tons of fun!! We sled down a hill right behind the house! Alan and Brett before getting crazy!

My snow bunny! :)

He loved it!

Ok, so I'm not that good...

Mommy and Brett! He didn't really like the sledding idea very much.

We tried though! Doesn't he just look adorable? I love this pic!!

Cousin Amber and Brett liked to play "Bump- Bump" down the stairs! They were hilarious to watch:) Down and up, down and up!

I probably made 3 snow angels... This one is pretty good... huh?!?!?! I think I had the most fun ;)

No wait... Alan probably did! Hahaha... You should have seen his face!

Family pic Christmas morning :) Brett says CHEEEEESE!

The infamous DICE! This is now Brett's favorite toy! Aunt Sue has had these dice around her house for many many years and this was the only thing Brett had to have every 5 minutes to play with! She sent us home with them! Thanks Aunt Sue ;)

Brett playing the piano! Oh and cheese-balling it!!

The whole gang out to eat Christmas Eve night!
