Thanksgiving came early this year!

This past weekend we had some family come and visit. We took them out to explore Chicago. On our exploration we were greeted by the beautiful sight of fall colors. Here are some pictures of the city during autumn.

The famous Cloud Gate (Bean).

Pretty Trees.

Downtown lights.

When our visitors left so did these beautiful fall leaves. The First day of snow was Monday. Now most of the trees are bare. I'm glad they were able to enjoy the colors of autumn.

On one of the nights we celebrated Thanksgiving. Instead of turkey, we had an 8 pound chicken. Yeah, they come thick out here. Fixins' included Mac 'n' cheese, brussel sprouts, smushed potatoes, and calms. It was quite a feast and I didn't have to cook much this week because we had an ample amount of left overs.

Thanks Dennis, Bea, and Jennifer for coming out to visit us! It's great to see familiar faces!!!
