Happy Valentine's Day

Brennan & Mommy enjoyed a yummy afternoon at Flourish Bakery in Andersonville. They hosted a cookie decorating event and Brennan got to decorate 6 different heart shaped cookies. He enjoyed schmearing the icing but the sprinkles were definitely his favorite - we even got to make a cookie for Daddy!

SNOW DAZE!!!

It's official, the Dorvacs' have survived The Blizzard of 2011! We actually had a really fun day, both inside and out. Brennan greatly enjoyed the snow drifts that were bigger than him but also family movie time (complete with popcorn) and decorating cookies. Tomorrow will bring an arctic blast, probably not as fun, but we'll always remember Chicago's biggest snow storm!

What Will I Be?

Thanks to Brennan's Aunt Jess, he can start practicing now for the future - so many options! These are just two of the great dress up outfits he received during our better-late-than-never-Christmas-celebration!

Spaghetti Night!

Christmas Wonder

Even though it is now called Macey's, I thought it was still necessary to take Brennan down to the Walnut room to experience the big tree. To his delight, the theme this year was music and there were trumpets hanging from the branches. He couldn't get enough of it - and we couldn't get enough of his wonderment!

Thank you, God

I had hoped to post this in time for Thanksgiving but once again, time got away from me. No matter, we have enough to be thankful for all year round!

Winter Wonderland!

Although winter has only just come to Chicago, we've packed A LOT of fun into these past few weeks!
