We had a great Christmas season
It started with the OPRF High School winter music festival, in which both boys played. Luke was involved in several featured ensembles.
We got the house all decked out with lights.
Gloria provided essential help in finalizing our Christmas cards prior to mailing them.
To get in the spirit, we went to a holiday show put on by Cirque du Soleil at the Chicago Theater. It was amazing! We also invited Bernadette and Julianna. It was a wonderful time for us all to be together for this fun event.
Our visit to the city included a fun stop at Eataly Chicago. Great meal and great gelato.
Our two pets.
This hat did not stay on long.
Incredible cookies!
We got all cleaned up for Christmas Eve Mass.
Christmas Morning! Santa Came!
Amy mad a decadent Christmas lunch...
... and an amazing family-made Christmas Day Dinner!
We had a nice time seeing Grandma and Grandpa Doobay and family.
We also had a great time at the Blairs .... so great, fun and relaxing, that I didn't manage to take many pictures! :( A really special time though!
A great Christmas 2023!
