Mom Visits Chicago

Last weekend, my mom and gma came to visit. It was great news for me seeing that I love them to pieces. We had such a great weekend filled with plenty of meals and even a trip to the theater. Check out our time at the Cadillac Theater seeing Phantom of the Opera.

Aren't we just the cutest three generation trio?

It is so beautiful inside the theater.

Nose-bleed seats but we knew what was going on. 

And then there is us. Just us being crazy kids.

You may be wondering how we liked it... mom and gma had seen it before and those this rendition was  not their favorite but it was enjoyable. I really enjoyed it, seeing that I was able to see a play and that I am completely obsessed with live entertainment of many forms. Phantom is a very cool story but I certainly appreciated the wikipedia plot I read during the intermission. I had no idea what was happening in the first act but act 2... FANTASTIC! Oh how did Caleb like it? Well seeing that when people sing a story to him and lack the audible conversations, one may say that he didn't like it as much as me. He is a trooper though!

After the phantom we shopped at quaint stores around the skirt of downtown Chicago and walked to dinner. We went to "Ana Maria Pasteria" one block from our house. It was snowing and it was so much fun. Enjoy the photos...

We ended up watching "Captain Phillips" with Tom Hanks. It was like "Castaway" except more captive-abductor. I liked it but it was far too long for its own good. On Sunday, we and mom went to church and had AWESOME worship. I really liked bringing my mom to our new church, New Life Community Church - Lakeview. After they left to go home, we took Miles in for the afternoon while Nate and Kelly went out to do errands. We have done this once prior and just cannot get enough of him. He literally makes us so happy to be in the same city as he is. He is so awesome. Check out the game he learned to play... JENGA.
