Black Friday in Chicago and a birthday cake

Steve and I made a little day trip to Chicago the day after Thanksgiving to see the Art Institute of Chicago. We got there before it opened so we hung out in Millennium Park for a while. Sorry my pictures aren't in order, I'll never be able to do this right. Being home was a lot of fun!

This was the cake we had for Steve's birthday. It was my idea (since Steve turned 25) but I did not decorate it, my sister in law Rachel did. I think it turned out great.
My favorite painting at the Art Institute
Our house in case anyone was wondering how is was holding up

Famous Sunday in the park (not the actual title) painting, it was HUGE!

They had all these miniature rooms that were so cool, probably my favorite thing there. They were so tiny and behind glass (if you look you can see our reflections) :)
The granddaddy of all paperweights. The paperweight display was my second favorite

Jazella's first Thanksgiving

We spent our first Thanksgiving with Will's family. Everyone loved seeing little Jazella. She was a good girl and pretty much slept all day. Her cute little outfit is thanks to Grandma Szilagyi. Thanks Grandma!

Our first family picture

It took us almost five weeks, but we finally got all gussied up and took a picture. Just thought I'd share it with all of you.

Thanksgiving in Rockton

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ben made his fabulous Turkey again.  I did the pie and potatoes and then had to call it quits, leaving Ben with the rest of the sides.  Recovery is tricky . . . some days I feel great . . . some days I feel beat up.

Baby slept through the whole meal.  That was sweet of him.

We hope you all had a feast as tasty as ours.

3D Sounds

Go get yourself a pair of headphones and listen to this!

If you've been wondering . . .

 how Ben's parenting skills are.  Have no more fears or doubts.  He bonds very well with his son.  This is a game we call, "how much postage does it take to ship a baby?"

It was all fun and games until Reid stuck his tongue out and got stuck.  I love my boys!
