Circus

I wanted to go to the circus, so I took some of my best friends with me!

All around the main stage was ice, so some of the things they usually do at the circus (walking on stilts, doing flips and acrobatic tricks, etc) were made even cooler because they were doing them on skates on the ice!

Some of our favorite parts were seeing the girls in the balls high in the air and people doing tricks on the horses:

The acrobats:

The dogs (guess whose favorite that was?):

The big cats:

And the motorcycles in the cage (eight at once!):

It was so much fun!

Conga Line

Cute Ali was helping keep Jake out of the street and turned it into a fun game. Can you hear her, "cha, cha, cha!"?

Play dough

Play dough has made a comeback around here, and Eli especially is enjoying it.

Thanksgiving

Once again this year, Logan was the last kid at the kid table. He takes his Thanksgiving dinner seriously.

Cubs Won

It was pretty exciting to live in Chicago when the Cubs won the world series for the first time in 108 years. Jason's brother Todd flew his family out last minute to be there for the celebration parade, Amy and her girls played hooky to be there, and Jason was there for his normal work day.

This was Jason's view of the parade from his office.

Following the Baby

Sometimes the baby does things that look fun enough for the big kids to join in:)

Flag Football

Logan enjoyed playing flag football again this fall. His team this year, the Vikings, won every single one of their games! Pretty different than last year where his team lost every single one! We told him that both of those situations are pretty rare and that if he plays again next year, they will probably win some and lose some! 

Logan practiced a lot this season with his dad and even sometimes with me. Between all the practices and some awesome football gloves, he really improved both his catching and throwing. Well done, Logan!
