St. Nick's Day Fun

Saturday morning the kids were excited to wake up and open their presents from St. Nick.

Grandma Chris came to visit us that morning as well. While Chris and the kids went to a birthday party at Safariland Grandma took Elizabeth to Arlington Heights for the Bending towards the Light Jazz Nativity concert. This is the third year Elizabeth has sung with the group.
