This weekend we had Elliott baptized at the Saturday night service. We had dinner at our house before and then cake & drinks after! It was a great celebration with family!
We spent both Wednesday and Thursday night in the hospital! :) Here are some pictures from our stay! :)
We had a great Christmas! Church, then hanging out at the Farm and eating/opening presents! Santa came to our house in the morning (Dylan was very nervous about him coming - he kept saying "Santa just drop presents off"). Drew got us a new bunny named Muffy! :) Then we went over to the Hempen house for breakfast and more Santa presents!!
I had an amazing birthday weekend! We started out with the Run for Gus in the city! Shelly and I ran together the whole time and Genna, Uncle Donny, Dylan and a ton of my friends were there too! Then we had a sleepover at Shelly's apartment and rode around on the brown line in the morning - Dylan LOVED it! Then Dylan went back home with Uncle Donny for a sleepover and Shelly and I spent the day together just hanging out. At night we headed over to the Lincoln Park Zoo for drinks and fun! We went out after it was over and then Drew and I drove home after midnight! :) The next day we had a fun party at our house for my real birthday - we did some slip and slide and cooked out! :)
We had a great fourth of July! We started the day with making some cool American flag pallet and I did a super long run in the hot hot sun! Then we went over to Gail's house to hangout and party! :) Dylan made it to his first fireworks and he really liked it!!
Some fun stuff from the end of May! Fishing with Uncle Donny's class, going to the zoo and visiting Jenie and finding out she is having a baby girl!!!
We had a fun Bulls themed party to celebrate Dylan's second birthday! (And Drew's 27th birthday of course!)
We had a huge party to celebrate Grandpa's 90th birthday! It was awesome to see how many people showed up - he is very loved!!
We had a fun fiesta themed birthday party for Genna & Sammi so we could celebrate before they went back to school! It was a blast!
We hosted small get together for NYE and got a little crazy! Dylan is learning beer pong at a young age :) I love Christmas!! We did our yearly tradition of church on Christmas Eve followed by food, drinks and presents with the Perkins side of the fam at the Farm. We did Christmas morning just the three of us at home (Santa came!) and then head over to the Hempen house for some more presents and breakfast :) What a great Christmas!! We had a lot of fun family bowling! It was Dylan's first time and I think he really enjoyed it! He ran around yelling "ball". The second game got a little weird haha. The whole fam did the McHenry Turkey Trot for Hospice 5k on Thanksgiving morning bright and early! Pretty difficult after the night out before!! :) We had a lot of fun making ridiculously adorable turkey shirts & running together! Dylan got reaaaally cold so him and Drew didn't actually do the race but they waited for us in the warm van :) My Mom got 2nd place in her age group and I got 2nd place in my age group too! It was a blast - can't wait to do it again next year! Then we went to the Farm for Thanksgiving and helped Grandpa set up his tree! We had a fun get together on November 11th to celebrate Veteran's Day & Dylan's year and a half birthday! :)
The Silkers had an awesome Harvest Fest in the barn that Uncle John built! It was a really fun party! :)
Back in September, Drew & Dylan tagged along with Papa, Gail & Donny to a World War II reenactment in Rockford. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
We had two fun parties to celebrate Shelly's 25th birthday! We had a bonfire/dance party at my parents house on Thursday night & then we went out in the city Friday night! :)
