Thanksgiving in Chicago

Happy Holiday's

It's starting to look alot like Christmas..... Hard to believe we are upon the Holiday season already. This year has gone by so fast. ( I guess that's what happens when Greg is out of town 30 out 52 weeks) We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and are just as excited about Christmas as we are. This year we were able to fly to Chicago and spend Thanksgiving with Greg's family. We spent our first few days in Wisconsin with his brother Greame and his family Julie, Jacob and Greyson. Thanksgiving morning we all were up very early and bundled up and headed out towards Madison to watch Julie run in a 5K race. Although, it was only about 28 degree's we still had a great time that morning.

The boys have grown so much in the year since we last saw them. We really enjoyed playing, and just spending time with them while we were there. On Friday, one of Greame's friends who works for the railroad invited us down to the Round House to see an old Steam Engine, and gave us a tour of the place. It was amazing to climb on the Engine, and see just how those things work. ( Greg enjoyed the tour more than any of us)

Today is Sunday November 30th- This morning Greg and I ventured out to Church. We visited Willow Creek Church ( which is the sister church to our's in Houston) This church was the Biggest church I've seen....... we were given a little fact sheet when we walked in, on average they have about 22,000 people in attendance. WOW !!!! It was a great service, and right in the middle of the service it started to snow....... Yes, it's snowing today :) we are expecting about 3-6 inches today/tonight.

We will keep everyone updated as we continue on our trip in Illinios. We are heading down to see Greg's Dad and Judy on Monday. We will also be visiting some of his friends in the area while there. Hope everyone had a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. Stay tuned.......
