Wade and Liliana at Shedd Aquarium with all kinds of sea creatures behind them. Liliana explored the life aquatic while Wade and I enjoyed catching up with dear friends, old and new. What a treat! 
Two dolphins "wow" the crowd as they fly out of the water at the aquarium. Although the resolution isn't great, I was thrilled to capture such a cool trick on camera.
On Christmas Eve, my family plays a game in which each person draws a number and selects a gift in numerical order. Each player can choose a wrapped gift from the table or steal an attractive gift that has already been opened by someone else. After some silly shenanigans, this is the gift I received when all was said and done. Gotta love Mexican artists! 
Here's my mom on Christmas morning. She made this stocking (along with one for each of her three children) many years ago. Notice the toes on the stocking. I still have mine, but it has definitely seen better days!
In Michigan, we stayed in an apartment above my cousins house. It's a wonderful home-away-from-home for us every year. Left: Liliana pretends to have "thorns" in her feet and asks Mommy to help retrieve them. What a nut!
At the end of our trip, we spent time with my mom and brother's family in Indiana. I made chili for the group, and Wade agreed to chop the onions for me. Poor baby cried all afternoon! (Kinda reminds me of that YouTube guy that cried about Britney.)
