We opted to stay in Chicago for the first time for Christmas this year. Dave's dad and Melissa's mom came to stay with us for a few days. It was so nice being in our own house, with our Christmas tree, on Christmas Eve and Day. We made Christmas cookies, pies, and a wonderful dinner on Christmas Day. We all went to Christmas Eve Mass at St. Giles Family Community Mass, which was amazing, and drove around to see the Christmas lights afterwards. Isaac was very excited for Santa to come. He left cookies and milk for him and went straight to bed. He was so amazed to see all the presents under the tree in the morning!! We all enjoyed dutch apple pancakes (from the Pancake House) for breakfast. Isaac opened presents all day. He loved to stop and play with each one, so we actually had to stop opening them around 4pm and make him take a nap! It was a wonderful holiday.
