Toys R Us on my birthday
We had a wonderful time in Chicago with the Quick clan. Ben met his cousins Lilly and Autumn and had tons of fun playing with them. He really took to Lilly and by the weekend was snuggling on the floor with her watching a movie.
We got a little bit of snow while there and Ben wasn't quite sure what to make of it. He looked so funny all bundled up in his snow jacket, hat and gloves! Just picture the little brother in a Christmas Story with the "I can't put my arms down" scene.
Ben had his 1st birthday while there and it was celebrated multiple times. We took him to Red Robin Monday night to see his reaction to strangers singing to him. Then Tuesday we headed to downtown Chicago to the Shed Aquarium http://www.sheddaquarium.org/ with some friends from Edwards who were in town visiting family also. we celebrated again when the Minnesota Quick's arrived since Autumn and Ben are only 10 days apart.
This was a great trip and we were glad to spend so much time with family, but bummed that aunt Heather couldn't make it from Boston :( Hopefully we'll get to see her soon.
