Dylan had so much fun at his third birthday party over the weekend! We had so many family & friends come to help him celebrate! He is a lucky boy! We have sooo many pictures of the party :) To see more pics click "Read More"
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 painted the whole upstairs! Thank goodness we had a lot of help - me being pregnant and Drew having a broken hand really made us pretty useless! It looks amazing we are so so happy! Now we are going to move Dylan over to his new room and get the nursery ready for baby girl!
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 went to the city to hangout with Shelly & Ryan and to go to the Cubs/Cards game! We had a ton of fun! Genna & Steven came to join us later too!
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!!
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 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! The Silkers had an awesome Harvest Fest in the barn that Uncle John built! It was a really fun party! :)
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! :)
