Chicago Weekend!

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 :)
