Next stop…Chicago!

Visiting GG at Whitehall…GG had hip surgery on Thanksgiving when she broke her hip. We are hoping for a speedy recovery, but in the mean time Cayden enjoyed hanging out.

Next…on our way to Buffalo Grove Lou Malnati’s. Buffalo Grove is where Mommy grew up and this is Mommy and Daddys favorite places to eat. Great Anty Lynn, Cousin Megan and Elyse, and soon to be Cousin Joel were there, and so was Great-Grandpa Mark, Great-Grandma Betty, Great Uncle Ross, Grandpa Fred, Uncle Ari, and Mommy’s old neighbors from back home- Colleen and Jeanne. Unfortunately we were so busy and we had so much fun, Mommy forgot to take pictures. Ooops!

Opening presents from Uncle Ari, Great-Grandpa Mark, and Grandpa Fred and his girlfriend Gail.

Mommy is trying to get a good picture of Cayden’s new football jersey from Uncle Ari. Uncle Ari lives in Arizona and thought he should get something for Cayden from Arizona. Cayden thinks it’s so cool!

Time to go back to Iowa to pick up Reggie who stayed at Mooma and Poopas house!

It was a long week…but we are all glad to be home safe and Cayden is really enjoying sleeping in his new Lightening McQueen bed!

Mommy says she promises to get pictures of this on the blog soon!

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year everyone!
