A few fun pictures from December. I'm loving the time off work to hangout with Dylan & work on our cooking skills :)

We had a lot of fun going into the city a few times this month. We all went to see the Lincoln Park Zoo lights (it was so warm out) and Dylan also went into the city with Genna, Sammi and Grandma to Christkindlmarket. He sure loves the city :)
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! :)
Halloween was fun this year! We had some people over to greet the trick-or-treaters, drink and be merry :) Dylan really loved answering the door and handing out candy. Guess what he didn't like - HIS COSTUME! I don't think we got a single good picture of him in it! Oh well....maybe next year!!
We had a fun weekend in Bloomington to celebrate Jami's birthday! :) We also got to see the house that Jana & John just bought :)
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.
On Saturday, September 27th Jenie & I ran the Women Rock Half Marathon in Chicago. It was a lot of fun and I got a new personal record for my half marathon time. :) I had a lot of great fans cheering me on!!
The first half of September has been so much fun! We have had more Bloomington visits, painting, playing outside, shopping and so much more :)
We had fun visiting Bloomington two weeks in a row! This past weekend I ran a 5k with Jenie & Brock in Emden for ALS and we had a great time after :)
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! :)
We went to the fair and Dylan loved it. He had a lot of yummy food (funnel cake & lemon ice), got to see and touch animals and rode a few rides! |
