I'm going to try to squeeze the rest of their visit into one last post.
The day after Thanksgiving was the annual Holly Days Parade in our little village. Both boys rode on floats. I snapped a quick shot of Dillon on the Cub Scout float...
...and then hopped on the Santa float with Wesley. It was really cold, so we ran home to warm up with caramel apple cider!
The next day, we made one last outing with Brittany and Luke -- Garfield Conservatory.
It may be my new favorite free indoor spot in Chicago. Such a great place to go on a chilly day. It's nice and toasty inside and everything is alive -- unlike the world around it.
LOVE these two together!
The boys could have watched these fish forever.
Luke really does get the uncle of the year award!
The whole place was lush with everything green.
Afterward we went to Portillos so Britt and Luke could experience a real Chicago Dog!
Then back to the house to start setting up the tree!
Children really do make Christmas magical. I love it.
The last highlight of the visit from our sibs was being able to sing with them in church. It's so fun to be doubley related. It really helps with the blend. We sang an arrangement of "For the Beauty of the Earth" and had so much fun putting it together. Thanks for coming you two. And thanks for singing with us. What a great week!! We love you!
