St. Patricks Day in Chicago!

Since Chicago is so close, and we missed it last year, we decided that we should celebrate St. Patricks Day Chicago style! So we went up to Chicago with our friends Scott and Codi Barnes, and their kids.

We started the trip right by having Friday Night Pizza at Giordannos!

Then Saturday, we enjoyed the Green River...we couldn't believe how GREEN it really was.

Then we headed down to the St. Patricks Day Parade:

Finally, we stopped by Garretts to get some of that famous Chicago Style Popcorn! Mmmmm! It was a great trip. Glad we could take advantage while we are so close. Thanks for coming with us Scott and Codi it was fun.

Hand Painted Mugs...by Chad & Bekah!

For Christmas, Chads little brother Travis gave us a giftcard to a place called Uniquely Yours Pottery. We finally made it there a couple of weeks ago and these were the results. Thanks Travis we had a great time! It was actually funny how long it took us just to paint these small mugs.
