2008 Christmas Memories

We took our annual trip downtown to see the Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theatre. This is our 5th year, and unfortunately it wasn't the best rendition we have seen. We had some free time before the show and visited the Kriskindle market with the kids. We enjoyed seeing all the German crafts, eating chocolate covered fruit, and walking through the slushy snow.

It is so great having a daughter old enough to take pictures for us now. I am usually left out of them since I'm typically the photographer.

The chocolate covered strawberries and bananas were sooo delicious. I can't even verbalize how good. Just like their mom. They love the chocolate stuff too.

Before seeing the Christmas Carol we went to Petterino's for dinner, where Paul and I had some of the best Prime Rib ever! Eating at this restaurant is a treat for us, they give you new silverware when yours is dirty and they even come around and wipe the crumbs off the table for you. I wish someone could do that for me at home.

Kylie had a "Holiday Hoe-Down" at school and we were so proud that she memorized all the music! She definitely loves performing. She even stood up on a stage and danced a really cute country dance. We were lucky enough to get seats in the second row.
