We just got back from a wonderful long weekend in Chicago with the girls! 
We had so much fun – we shopped, saw Les Miserables (wonderful), ate too much, saw the show “War Horse” based on the movie – this was incredible – they actually have puppeteers for the horses – the horses are life size and several times, the actors rode on them!  Wow! 
Also went to the Field Museum and did more shopping!  Very fun – and now we are happy to be home and preparing for the new year!

I wanted to share a few pictures of our house at Christmas – we live in an almost 100 year old Colonial Home and are in a neighborhood that is full of historic old homes, with brick streets and old fashioned style lamp posts.  I love to decorate our house for Christmas and so here are a few photos –
