The Dress Decision

Amazing girlie day spent with the ladies in my family. Our little ladies were quite put out that they were not there to witness the fashion show.

PARIS 2011-2012

PARIS

Where, oh where, to begin.
I can only share some of the highlights.

1-1-2012, my intended.

Love locks at Notre Dame.

Guts of the Eiffel Tower.

Soup du Jour.

Our quaint 17th century apartment.

Witnessing Jardin des Plantes, in person.

Ice skating ON the Eiffel Tower

Finally, some Rosé!

Gorgeous St Chapelle.

Perfect trip.
Perfect proposal.

When can we go back?

Bon Annee

I will miss these faces!

 But not at 3am...

Bon voyage our little kitties!

See you in 2012.

Julia's Dinner

Duck confit to practice for the trip to France.

Stephen Dunne at Volo makes it the best.

I love this girl.

I'm glad she was born.

Happy Birthday, Julia.

Christmas Lights Run

It was a glorious night for a run.

This last house definitely gets an 'A' for effort!

Lots o' lights!

Representin' Chi-town

Two people are the best:

Jason S. Thompson

(the best boyfriend in the whole world)

&

Kate Sanderson

(the best purse maker in the whole world)

(Sink or Swim)

Tis the Season!

Jason and I had a fancy party to go to off of Michigan Ave last night.

It was great timing because the Bush family was also in the area!

Coops was having a great time with his new Lego guys.

Clara was very excited that we popped in. I'm glad we did! It's always fun to see my family in MY neck of the woods. :)

We also had a drawing contest where Jason, Trent and I each drew the Christmas tree.

Cooper drew Elf for our fridge.

~~~Happy Holidays~~~
