Post-Christmas Chicago Trip

After our Cedar Rapids Christmas, we road-tripped over to Chicago for the week.  We stopped in the QC for a few hours to visit with my high school friend, Jenn, who was back in Moline from Boston.  So great seeing her!

While in Chi-town, we also got to spend a lot of time with the Anetsberger's.  The kids had a great time playing as usual and it's so fun having them so close to my parents house now!  Nate & I went out in the city with my college friends one night and had a ball catching up with all of them.  We swung thru Hinsdale on the way out of Chicago and spent a few hours with my high school friend, Courtney, and her 2 boys.  So great seeing everyone!  

We stayed with the Dyer's in the QC for 2 nights over New Year's weekend.  They had their annual NYE party on Saturday night, so we were able to see a ton of our QC friends there and even the Nolting's who were back from Raleigh.

In all, it was a perfect week to unwind with friends & family, after all the holiday madness!  We feel so lucky to have seen so many old friends in just 1 short week!

I didn't take many pics, but here are a few of the kids at their new favorite mall...

She even got as high as the 2nd story of the mall!

Sam is obsessed with trains & now says in his best caveman speech "train. mall." about 10x a day!
