Our time their started with some Christmas tree decorating, followed by a trip to Candylane, and continued with party after party and copious amounts of food (as always). So here is a big THANK YOU once again to our parents for hosting us and feeding us and making our Christmas stay super fun and exciting!
My family has been going to Candylane for quite few years now and it is always a fun experience. For those of you who have never been there it is Hershey's Chocolate amusement park. They open up some rides during the winter and have stands with hot chocolate and S'mores. They also have a little theater where they put on a Christmas show. We finish up the trip by walking over to the Chocolate factory to buy more chocolate than we need and eat it all on the way home-good times. Anyway, it's a fun experience and if you have never been, you should go! Unfortunately my family has become camera shy, so I don't have any pictures of everyone. BUT since Steven and I are vain and love to take pictures of ourselves, we sneaked away to the merry-go-round to snap a few pictures of ourselves upon our noble steeds.
So to rewind a little further back (before we left), Steven and I went to Lincoln park zoo to enjoy one of the traditions we have made while living here in Chicago. Lincoln Park Zoo decorates all the trees with lights, put up all kinds of Christmas decorations, have light shows, ice sculptors, and you can even go inside to see some of the animals! It was kind of sad to go realizing that this would be our last year there, but we took lots of pictures to keep as memories.
Here are a few:
