Mimi & Papa in Chicago

Mimi and Papa came to visit us for a week.  The boys were so excited to spend time with them.  The first night we went to dinner at Quartino with all of us as well as Julia and Dan.  It was the first time Mimi and Papa met Dan and they were happy to meet Julia's boyfriend.  The next night we went to dinner at Etta with Mimi and Papa (boys stayed home) and met Ethan and Elle.  It was also Mimi and Papa's first time meeting Ethan's girlfriend and they loved meeting her.  Saturday Grayson and Liam both had baseball games so Daddy, Mommy and Papa watched the games.  The boys did great and had fun showing off their baseball skills.  Sunday was Father's Day so we had a BBQ at our house.  We had ribs, crab legs, a special mushroom side dish that Craig and Julia made together, asparagus and Sweet Mandy B's for dessert.  We decorated the house with balloons to celebrate Daddy and Papa.  The boys had fun making cards for Daddy and Papa.  Monday we had lunch at Uncle Julio's and then dinner at Pizzeria Portofino.  We sat outside at Pizzeria Portofino by the river and had pizza and salad.  The views were so nice and the food was great.  We took some nice photos to remember the special time with Mimi and Papa.  We all had a fun week with them.  We are so happy Mimi and Papa were able to spend the week with us especially after the pandemic - it had been way too long since we last saw them.  Hopefully we will be able to see them again soon.  The boys are so lucky to have such great grandparents.
