The Peninsula Hotel, Chicago

Having fun in the hotel with cousins!

More shopping at the water tower

Swimming

WICKED-Chicago style

Ha Ha...right after Baylie snapped this photo, one of the ushers came over and yelled at her for taking pictures in the theatre! The pictures don't do it justice! It was so pretty.

see Baylie up there on the balcony?

Baylie thought the whole hailing a cab and riding in a cab was fun. We love to visit big cities.

Shopping at WaterTower

Riding the train into the city with Aunt Jill!! (she just needs to move to TX)

Christmas break in Chicago

While visiting Chicago, we got together with relatives for breakfast. Great Aunt Beatrice, Christine, Nicholas, Ben, Uncle Johnny, Baylie, Nolan, Grandma Pittman, & Aunt Annie

Shopping in Chicago with Christine and Nicholas. This is the first time we have met Nicholas...what a cutie! We were so sad to miss Rich. He was working in Ohio that weekend :(

yikes...one big truck!

While out at the mall getting ready for Christmas the boys scoped out this truck in the parking lot. They thought is was pretty cool that it could drive over top of them and not even hit them!

Holiday Choir Concert

I KNOW!! Yes, Ben is in choir! :)

Thankful for fishing

We love when our cousins come to visit from Georgia...Sean is showing us all how it's done.

Nolan and mom!

Uncle Sean got a big one! (Ben just stands and stares)

K...I have no photos of my lovely daughter Baylie even being there except this one of Nolan playing with her hair. Yes, she is super happy for family time fishing.
