Let It Snow, Let It Snow......

As you can see I finally got to see this wonderful white stuff, that I've been crying to see for so many years. I know everyone who lives in the Chicago area, is hoping I go home soon. ( I wish I could take the snow with me back to Houston) But thanks for putting up with me and all my prayers for snow while we were here. :) On Monday morning this was the sight we woke up too...... Oh, how exciting it was to finally see snow again !!!!!


More of the awesome snow !!!!!


On Sunday- we made the ever so famous Grandpa Marino Chocolate Chip Cookies with his mom and Grandma. It was well worth the wait of 8 years to finally taste the cookie that everyone spoke so highly about. YUM-O !!!!! Above is a picture of Greg melting the butter in a sink of hot water.

Tuesday night we meet up with Scott and Nancy and Joe and his 2 girls for dinner at one of their favorite spots from High School. We had a few hours to hang out and catch up with them. Many stories were told of their days in High School...... Thanks for meeting up with us guys, it was great to see you both.

Today is Thursday the 4th of December, and were enjoying our last day here in Chicago. It's been so relaxing and nice to spend time with friends and family. Sorry that we didn't have the chance to see Denise and Alan, hope you two are feeling better.

Thanks again to everyone who made us feel so welcome. It truly was nice to see you all, and we hope to get back to the windy city again sometime soon.

Hugs,

Greg and Tina

Sorry we missed you guys as well, we really wanted to meet up, but it wasn't meant to be I think. We need to try again at some point, maybe in Houston, KC, or wherever!! Glad you enjoyed Chicago, and the snow!! Talk to y'all later!!!
