When Sophia and I returned from NYC, we got back to our routines with a few special events thrown in for excitement. On December 13, we went to see one of our favorite bands: WILCO at the Riviera in Chicago. Here's a late night picture of Chief Rail and I up WAY past our bedtimes!
We were treated to some acting in the neighborhood Christmas pageant at the Church. Our two were so proud of being part of the show.
Lots of excitement on Christmas morning!
chocolate, tea, oranges, books, a green dinosaur, soap, sunlight, the smell of pine needles...
on the day after Christmas, we took a lovely wintry walk in the woods with friends at the North Park Village Nature Center.
We flew to Maine shortly after Christmas for a family visit, and while there, took a two day side trip to Sunday River for some downhill skiing. The girls both took to it right away and by the end of the day were skiing down the longer runs.
Then it was time to have the last coffee of 2011 in the Christmas tree mugs and head back to Chicago and start January 2012.
