Chrismukkah in Chicago from Cayden’s Point of View

The pictures start out at Aunty Blythe’s house in Gurnee, IL on Saturday night December 26th. We ordered pizza and hung out with Great Uncle Ross, Great Grandma Harriet, Lithia, Grandpa Fred, Aunty Blythe, Uncle Ari, and Mommy & Daddy. Mommy enjoyed taking a picture with Aunty Blythe’s dog, Molly.

On Sunday we all enjoyed some holiday festivities and turkey at Aunty Blythes and all were there including Great Grandma Betty, Cousin Elyse, Great Uncle Don, and Great Ant Lynn…Oh yah and my soon to be Uncle Dave, Aunty  Blythe’s fiancé.

After all the festivities we hung out at Great Grandpa and Grandpas house in Skokie, IL. Playing (banging on) the piano was fun! I also enjoyed playing with Grandpa Fred’s doggie, Jake. He was super furry and barked really loud!

On Monday Aunty Blythe took the day off and took us to Gurnee Mills to shop. Cousin Elyse met up with us too! We shopped and shopped and Aunty Blythe and Cousin Elyse bought me some fun stuff at the Carter’s outlet. We had to take a couple cute pics in front of The Rainforest Cafe, it was a kodak moment!

Sleeping during the Bears game, who would have thought they would actually win! We all enjoyed watching the Chicago Bears win even though they were the under dogs.

In the car on our way back to Iowa our final stop before we go back home to Kansas City! Mommy had to change me in the car when we got too a gas station and I enjoyed sitting in the seat for a bit like a big boy. I like the seat better than my car seat, but at least I got a short nap in while in my car seat.
