On my birthday (it was last month, I turned 30, and I don't want to talk about it) Dennis gave me an early Christmas/Anniversary gift. A trip to Chicago! We've always talked about going to Paris or Rome or someplace amazing for our 10 year anniversary, but turns out kids are super expensive LOL. So we are going soemwhere a little closer to home, but I'm super excited. Neither of us have ever been to Chicago but we've both always wanted to go. We like to see what other cities are like, it's fun :) The kids will stay at my mom and dad's (Bethany, Grady, and Braden will be in town so the kids will LOVE spending time with them too), and Dennis and I will be back in time for Christmas of course. We're both looking forward to sleeping in for a couple days and being able to do and go wherever we want. Funny how your idea of fun changes after having kids LOL.
And here are some pictures of us decorating the Christmas tree. It's nothing fancy, but full of fun ornaments we've collected over the years, and that the kids have made (my favs!)
I love how warm and cozy the house feels this time of year :)





Happy Holidays!!
