Savannah had a lot of fun at her kindergarten holiday party. Even Mr. C. made a guest appearance! Oh to be 5 again!!!

Savannah and I had fun today making snowmen out of recycled "Danimal" containers. After they came out of the dishwasher she filled them with candy and then we decorated them for the kids in her class. She arranged them in army formation for their picture.

I was able to get out for about 2 hours today and do some cross-country skiing! It was so beautiful after yesterday's snowstorm! Had the whole trail to myself!

We keep the German Christmas tradition of hiding a pickle ornament in the boughs of the Christmas tree after decorating it. Then we have the kids search for it. The one who finds it gets to open an early fun small gift for the family. Tyler found it this year!

We spent a couple of days downtown Chicago with Gary's brothers. The kids especially liked the view from our hotel room. We saw the sites as we geocached the city!
