Vinnie had so much fun playing with P'pa in the snow. They made a sledding hill in the backyard and played for a good hour before Vinnie got cold : 0)



Happy Thanksgiving 2010




Av and Vinnie had a blast playing with the toys at Mema and P'pa's house. What these two won't know and understand for a long time to come, is that the toys they played with belong to their moms : 0)

Happy Thankgiving 2010





Avery's first Thanksgiving was special in more ways then one. Not only was it her first Thanksgiving, but she got to meet her Aunt Amber and Cousin Vinnie for the first time. We had such a great week while these two were in town. Mema and P'pa had both of the grand babies playing together and all three girls under the same roof again : 0)




The Sky Deck at the Wilis Tower

Standing in one sky deck, looking at the other.

Are you dizzy yet? : 0)

Nothin like hangin with your father-in-law : 0)

Don't fall Mema and P'pa : o)
The sky deck at the Wilis Tower is literally on the outside of the building. You are in a sense floating over Chicago. You entire body hurts when you step onto that deck. It's not normal to be standing on the outside of a building like that : 0)




The Skyline from Wilis Tower.

Nothing like hanging out in Chicago : o)

Raleighs' and Habels' in the sky deck, hanging over Chicago.

Looking down at Chicago from inside the sky deck.

Dick's Last Resort





The game was a blowout, but dinner that night made up for it. Dick's Last Resort was a blast and just what we needed. We took our friends Richard and Amanda with us and the six of us had a great time. Fun environment and good music is all my dad and I need for dancing : o)




The Game!!!

The four jet flyby

Their marching band was great.

Now this was a tailgating party : )

Notre Dame field.

The infamous Notre Dame Stadium.





Notre Dame




The campus of Notre Dame was beautiful. The history involved with the school was everywhere and it was so much fun to see.



Sushi in Chicago

We had a great day in Chicago with Lance and Pam and to top it off they took us to an awesome sushi restaurant. We had great company and great food.

Some of Chicago's highlight spots.





Buckingham Fountain was beautiful even without water running. I can only imagine what it looks like when its up and running during the summer months.
The Bean in Chicago's Central Park was awesome. This big metal bean stands in such a way that no matter which way you are looking at it, you can see a part of Chicago's skyline.



Navy Pier




Fun at Navy Pier
