Weekend with friends and the Hawks game

This past weekend, Becca, our friend from Purdue, came to visit with her boyfriend Julien. We had a great time in the snow with Charlie showing him all the christmas lights on Michigan avenue and at Chriskindlemarket in Daley Plaza. He got a big kick out of the tree at Marshall Field's!

Charlie's reaction to that tree. He couldn't take his eyes off it!



Charlie even wrote a letter to Santa - can you read it? ;)



On Sunday afternoon, we went to the Field Museum. I don't think Charlie learned anything.
We'll try again in a few years. ;)

On Sunday night, Charlie got a real treat- and so did Eddie and I! Our friend Mike Large invited us to join him at the Blackhawks game. The seats were absolutely amazing and we had a great time! Charlie loved it. I think he's going to be a big hockey fan. The noise didn't seem to bother him at all- in fact, he fell asleep in the third period.
