The Clubhouse

Amanda, Andrea, and I braved the weather warnings and ventured to The Clubhouse on Saturday at Oakbrook. We have been there once before for our Christmas dinner, and thought it would be fun to venture there again. It's very rare that I get to see these two lovely ladies at one time, so I was looking forward to it, rain or shine, or slushy, rainy, snowy coldness. We had dinner, drinks, and did our Christmas exchange!

Can't wait to see them again!

Merry Christmas!!!

Our New Toy

So we shoveled our driveway one time, one week ago, and quickly started looking for a snow blower soon after. One stage, two stage, electric start, big, little.. blah blah blah...

And alas, here it is, our new toy... our Snow Thrower!

Adam is warming up with the boys following the first go around!!!

Isn't Chicago just beautiful?

Adam and Morgen's Birthday

December 5th was Adam and Morgen's 29th Birthday... and it was a special one!

Morgen came all the way from Alaska to surprise Adam. After months of lies, and scheming on November 30th, I secretly picked up Morgen from the airport, drove her back to our house with minutes to spare before Adam got home. Adam came in the garage door, Morgen went out the back door and around the house. 10 minutes later the doorbell rang... "Who could that be, Adam??" The above picture is minutes after the big reveal!

If you have seen the video footage, you know that Adam's first question was "Do you wanna go bowling!!!?" So funny... of course we went bowling!

Why Hello Bean, and Merry Christmas!

Hancock Christmas Tree
