November was another busy month.

Well, I am going to try to update on the last month of events. It has been busy, but FUN.

We took a trip up to Chicago earlier this month. We love to go up for a trip once or twice a year to just visit with our friends and we had a GREAT time as usual. We did something really fun for the kids this time....we took the train downtown and the kids loved it and did so well. Here are a few pictures from the train ride....

To make our trip downtown even more fun, we took a bus from the train station to go to the Children's museum at Navy Pier.

We had such a great time and I miss my friends so much and feel so far away but every time we get together, it is as if I saw everyone yesterday. It is so fun to get all the kids together. Us adults had a great time in the evening and put all the kids to bed upstairs and enjoy some drinks and adult time!

The weekend after Chicago was a big event. Bob is a board member for the Foundation for Children with Cancer. They had their annual murder mystery and this year the theme was a western poker tournament. Here is Bob as the Marshall.

Me and my Mom...we were saloon girls.

Us with some of our neighbors.

Me and my friend Libby.

The happy couple (enjoying a rare date night).

We took the kids ice skating recently. This was Addison's 3rd time going and Lucas' 2nd. They improve so much each time and are getting a lot more comfortable with it. They were being so brave and trying to skate on their own.

Here is our Thanksiving day picture that turned out pretty decent. We spent the afternoon with Bob's family and then the evening with mine. It was a long day but so much fun. The kids can't get enough of parties and seeing their cousins.

Lastly, we spent today at the Magic House (St. Louis Children's museum). We were there for over 4 hours and didn't even get to see it all.

Our construction workers....

They couldn't run away from us for these pictures....
