Early last week the kids and I took advantage of one of the last warm days. We checked out the Christkindlemarket at Wrigley Field. It was so warm that the ice rink looked more like a pool!

I made the mistake of letting Maeve sit in the driver's seat recently. She now tries to "drive" every time we're in the car.

Jack received lots of cool train accessories for his birthday. This is his excited face.

Maeve has been waking up extra early since she gave up her pacifier. Therefore, she's exhausted during our morning errands. On this day, she tried to take a nap while shopping.

The next day she zonked while sitting upright in the cart.

I know she looks passed out, but it has nothing to do with the wine bottles in the background!

The kids woke up so excited to see snow on Saturday morning.

Nothing like the taste of the first snow!

On Saturday we celebrated Jace's 4th birthday at The Little Gym!

Maeve is a big fan of this place.

Cake time!

Jack attended another birthday party on Sunday, and was pumped to climb the rock wall.

On Sunday afternoon, we attended Ella and Jeritt's first piano recital. They've both been working so hard, and they did an amazing job!

So proud of her!

Jack didn't enjoy the recital as much as the rest of us...

Jeritt impressed everyone!
