Baking chocolate skillet cookie

Julia had her friend Kayleen over for a sleepover while they are on winter break. We ordered pizza and they made a chocolate skillet cookie that Julia got for x-mas. The girls made the skillet cookie and even let Ethan help out. I forgot to take an after picture. Oh well.

Early Christmas

We actually celebrated Christmas a little early since we will be in Charleston on Christmas day. We woke up and opened presents while listening to Christmas music. Julia got a Coach poppy bag, instyler hair straightener, Betseyville weekender bag, clothes, PJs, headphones, Bath & Body Works stuff, perfume, earrings and a few other things. Ethan got x-box 360 (for Craig and Ethan), a skateboard, clothes, PJs, guitar book, guitar double stand, device that turns an acoustic guitar electric (he has both types of guitars), boots, x-box games, and a few other things. Craig got leather gloves and a nice scarf from the kids and I got a leather jewelry roll and a clarisonic mia. Craig and I will exchange at my parent's house. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!!

Ethan's Orchestra concert

Ethan plays the cello in the orchestra at school. He's also in pro arte which is a group you have to try out for. He's really good at the cello and the guitar. Sorry the pictures are not the best.

Rebar at Trump Hotel with Allison, Scott and Johnny

Craig and I went to dinner at Smith & Wollensky and then met Allison, Scott and Johnny at Rebar inside The Trump Hotel. We don't get to go out with Allison & Scott as much since they have their beautiful girl Cora, but we make up for it when we do go out. We had such a blast! It was fun hanging out with Johnny too. He used to live here and moved to CA last year. He was in town for his friend's wedding.

Family Pictures

After Hubbard Street Dance Company we stopped by Millenium Park and had a family picture taken. We were so cold so it didn't turn out the best. Then Craig had a great idea to stop by his office and take a picture by the Christmas tree inside the building. They always have weddings so we figured someone would be there to take the picture and there was! I was so glad because now I can order my Christmas cards!

Ice Skating at Millenium Park

Yesterday we went ice skating at Millenium Park. This year we all have skates so we don't have to wait in a long line to rent them. It was snowing and the city looked so pretty. We went to dinner at Sweet Water and then went to Hubbard Street Dance Theater. Craig bought the tickets from Groupon a while back. Hubbard Street Dance is a modern dance company. We left after the first dance during intermission. It was a lot of ballet and modern dancing, but it was very slow and boring.

Having Lunch at Bistro 110

We had lunch at Bistro 110 before going ice skating.
