It's always such a treat when we get to visit them. They are our best friends, despite the 200+ miles between our houses. Our girls can't get enough of each other and they are the kind of friends you can stay up with all night long and never have a lull in conversation. Thank you for a fabulous time, Andrea, Andy & Ali! Everyone needs a WINDY (bitter cold) CITY experience every now and then. 
I am headed there in the morning! Thanks for the reminder to bring my hat and gloves! : )
ReplyDeleteWOW..

Hugz..
What great photos, glad you had such a nice time! Macy's looks just beautiful, and I've heard that the Christmas market is wonderful. Sounds like you got back just in time, I heard there is a bit of a mini snow storm coming to Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI just love Christmas in the big cities! We may have to try Chicago at the holidays...Now I know you indulged a bit a the Christmas market. So what did you buy?
ReplyDeleteThe girls (and you and Chris,too) just had the holiday twinkle that only joy with friends can bring.So glad you had a great time.
I bought some of those ornaments at Dollar Tree, too. You can't beat the price and they are just beautiful! The kids and I are going to decorate with some AFTER Christmas. Let you know how it turns out!
Hope your short week is going well.
Holiday Hugs!

ps--in the next several years we have to pack our bags and all go for a 3-day weekend to the other city that glows during the holidays...NYC! We love Chicago but New York still our fave. By the way, here's a list of the top 40 films made in Chicago http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/June-2010/40-Best-Chicago-Movies-Ever/index.php?cparticle=1&siarticle=0#artanc Not sure if I was talking to you or Chris about this...
I've never been to Chicago, but it looks so festive and bright!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Kim!! Jen went to college for a semester up there and LOVED Chicago, too!!...though not a fan of the COLD wind! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about needing that "friend" time. Boy do I ever!! What an extra Christmas blessing to enjoy it with friends.
Fun weekend! Chicago at Christmastime is magical (and very, very cold!).
