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! Dylan had a fun trip to Carlyle with Grandma & Grandpa to visit everyone! He got to see his Great Gma Jo, all his great aunts & uncles and some second cousins! :) 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!!
He always loves reading so much...especially with Grandma and her many voices for different characters!! Too cute! :) During the week Dylan gets to go to TWO classes with Grandma - Monday morning is library class & Tuesday morning is Music & Dance. He is loving them!! 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! :)
Drew has had to take some time off work because of his injury, so we are trying to make the best of it by having a lot of family time! We went to the Petting Zoo at Randall Oaks with Grandma and Uncle Donny. Dylan loved touching all the animals and feeding them! Before we went to the petting zoo we grabbed lunch at our fav smoothie place in Huntley and Dylan thought clapping with a napkin was hilarious! Dylan's second Memorial Day. We went to the ceremony and parade in Woodstock and then partied it up at the Farm!
Yesterday we had Dylan's first birthday party at our new house! It was a perfect day to play and have fun with family and friends. Thank you so much to everyone that came! He had an amazing day - he is very blessed! Sorry for so many pictures :)
We had fun celebrating Kate's birthday! We went out to lunch, went to softball and had a party at the Silker house. (And we all had to wear America clothing only haha). We love you Kate - Happy Birthday!!
We had a really fun and busy first weekend in May. Friday night we had an event at my school, watched Sammi get ready for Prom and went out to dinner at the new steakhouse in Crystal Lake. Mmmmm!
Saturday we had a puppy date with Gravy, played outside, saw Justin & Danielle, went to church & Joe's and stopped by Menard's (Dylan's favorite store)! |
