Christmas Highlights

I am back in Australia after a wonderful trip home to visit friends and family in the States. Here are some highlights.
A quick stop over at Daytona

Visiting the "Living Nativity" at Ponte Vedra Presbyterian

Watching Jack dance up a storm

Having a Thai bubble tea on Argyle.......gosh I miss those!


Visiting the massive "American Gothic" on Michigan Ave with Chris


Seeing Wicked...Thanks Phyllis, Colin and Jack!!!



Remembering how pretty the snow is at Christmas time

Remembering what a pain the snow is and wondering how I lived in it for 10 years



Making the most of the snow


Visiting the Wicker Park Fire Station with Jack, who is a teeny, tiny bit obsessed with anything to do with firemen



Visiting the tree at the Christkindlmarket in downtown Chicago



Going to St Augustine to see the lights




Playing trucks with Sam and Wright


Matt sharing his boomerang expertise with Colt and Adam


Helping out Sam on Uncle Mike's construction sight


My Mom and Dad's birthday dinner



Even though I got a cold for Christmas it was still a great time. I hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
