Winter Weekend fun

Big G's dream car. I think he's adding this to his 3rd B-Day wish list!
Warming ours insides with a yummy slice of heaven ~ a Chicago treat.

Last Friday I got the shovel out and made a ramp off our back deck for some backyard sledding and boy was it fun. After being outside for a few minutes I had the neighbors watchin' me and slowly the neighborhood gang started pouring outside for some wintertime fun. I think it was a welcomed break for moms and dads. The kids have been on winter break and the weather has pretty much trapped the kids inside, so a little sledding was just what the doctor ordered for the morning. On Saturday we headed into Chicago for some after Christmas cheer. We watched the skaters in the park, toured the Macy's windows, browsed FAO Schwartz, stopped by Daily Square to see the big Christmas tree and ended our day with a slice of Chicago's deep pan pizza. The kids had so much fun and so did we. It was a wonderful weekend to get out and enjoy the sights and sounds of the winter season.

Hi there,
It looks like you are now the designated snow-ramp builder - it also looks like everyone had fun. Thanks for posting your pictures and tell Gabriel I think his black eye was pretty cool, but to take it easy and not get hurt.
love and blessings to all,
Angie
