A visit with Mike's Family in NC! Eric, Mike's mom- Elaine, Joey, Joshua, me, and Mike. We were sad we didn't get a picture with Mike's dad and Sue! They'll have to send us one! 
My family all together! From left: Trisha, Dad, Mom, Stuart, Me, Joshua, and Mike. In front: Hayley, Meagan (Ryan's wife), and Ryan.
This was a fun Christmas for us! My whole family was together again minus Stuart's fiance, Julie- whom we missed. We spent a day at the Museum of Science and Industry downtown Chicago and finished the night off with true "Chicago Style" Deep dish pizza! We also had lots of fun shopping, playing games, and just hanging out! We don't know when we will all be together again so we were grateful for the time we were able to spend together!
Joshua was adorable opening Christmas presents! We didn't want to "over" do- it with presents, knowing that he is only a year and a half old- so we got him a few things including a roller back-pack- which he loves, a Mr Potato Head, a coloring book, etc. But- even these few things proved to be too much! He was bored opening after the first present and so he sat and ate animal crackers while we opened the rest of his presents! We'll see how it goes next year!

I just heard about Julie and Stuart last week! I went and got my hair done by Natalie! (Julie's SIL) ... Did your parents move to Chicago?
So nice to have family time before being far away. It's a nice send-off, isn't it? :)
It's nice how few presents actually make the kids happy, eh? So... for his birthday this summer a few baggies of Animal crackers will do? ha.
