Lets get Dizzy

All Aboard!

The Chicago Botanic Garden offered a wonderful holiday train exhibit called the Wonderland Express.
We spent the day looking at beautiful flowers and interesting trains. This event is a keeper for sure.

Mom and her boy! 

Wait for me guys!

The first train sighting

Here comes the train!

So much to see!

Michael kept looking at the trains going around on the ceiling!

Can you guys please stand still for just a second!

Nope...

Ok I got Jane, now Michael stand still!

Christmas to do's!

We made our first family gingerbread house this year. Tons of fun! We also had our 2nd Christmas photo shoot...which didn't go as smoothly as last year. It has become increasingly difficult to get Michael to stand still for any period of time. Lastly, we were lucky enough to have a visit from Santa at the local Starbucks.Grandpa Rowan turned us on to this little gem, go figure!

The building begins!

Waiting for it to dry

More waiting....

Hey this icing stuff isn't too bad.

Dont mind if I do, Mom.

Can we be done now, please.

OK, but only if you let me eat it!

Cookies day craziness!

Ended the day with some Elmo, always a winner.

But I don't wanna be in the Christmas Card!

Well alright, I guess.

Nope...

Michael finally warmed up to him.
