Last weekend Patrick and I went to Chicago for our first overnight since Isaac was born. Grammy and Buppa were kind enough to come and stay with the boys (though I think they agreed when Isaac was still sleeping through the night!)
We took the train down from Harvard - I would highly recommend this to anyone - it was awesome! Once we were in the city - we walked to a restaurant/bar to get some lunch and a cocktail. We also had prime seating to watch the Badger game - it was perfect!
I enjoyed a tasty Bloody Mary with all of the fixin's - but did need to ask for a chaser :)
Once we got to the hotel - we were surprised by a awesome welcome gift/ birthday gift from Beth --- what better way to get ready to go out in the city than with a chilled glass of champagne in your hand!!
We met up with McFarland friends and jumped in a limo bus to celebrate Jen Stelse's 40th birthday!
The whole group with Chicago in the background.
Enjoying our date night!
The limo had great lighting - changing throughout the night so each picture had a different color hue!
Tiki bar - fabulous drinks :)
Hard to believe it is December looking at this photo!
Though to be fair - it was like 50 degrees outside :)
See what I mean about the lighting?!?
Another photo opportunity in the city - love this photo!
Clearly enjoying a night out together :)
And back at home the boys had a great time with Grammy and Buppa!
Grammy is teaching James to "cook" - helping with cookies (including licking the spoon - you have been warned!)
Chef James making pizza!
Sharing trains and jumpin' around!
And I believe this is the start of the brother antics we can all look forward to!
I don't think this shopping cart comes with the seat belt :)
