Chicago's First Snowfall of 2012!


It's hard to believe that the first snowfall of the winter didn't come til the 2nd weekend in January - but it came, it was beautiful and Ry loved it!




2012.....


I feel like I am going to blink and 2012 is going to be gone. Its only the 2nd week of the year and already I feel like our calendar is filling up fast! While I still can't believe I haven't blogged about the wonders of the holidays - please know they were wonderful. But as soon as Santa left the building, I took down the tree and replaced it with Gears & Robots! The theme of Ryker's 3rd birthday party!

We decided to host it at Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview. All the kids had a great time. Here are some pics from the big day!

The theme of the party and the colors - all came from the invitation that we picked!
My mom and I made the silverware holder, the robot banner and we had robot
piggy banks that the kids could paint for favors.

Here is a picture of the birthday boy! He had such a great time with his friends, he loved singing happy birthday (to himself), blowing out the candles and that little blue can of m&ms :-)

The birthday boy on his new "BIG KID" bike from Grandma, Aunt Brooke & Uncle Kevin!

Vince, Cathy & Lauren enjoying the museum!


Jess & Big Sister Katie got to join us for the big day too!!

Tyler working hard to help build the house! He will be ready for ASP before you know it!


Thankfully Kristi stopped us on the way out of the museum to get one family pic! :-)
While it isn't the best shot - it still shows - we survived birthday #3 & Ry still held onto that blue canister of m&ms til the very end!!

Thank you to all of our family & friends for helping us to celebrate!!
