We spent the first part of our Christmas trip back to the US in Chicago visiting with my Dad and Anna and Jessie and Justin. It was a packed few days, but we had a great time. I was so glad that we got to see them all so close to Christmas and exchange gifts. Anna had made reservations at a couple of our favorite restaurants from "back in the day." We had wonderful company, yummy meals, and an all around great time!
