It seems like the snow just doesn't end here. These pictures are from last weekend. Meg and Dad built the beginnings of a snow fort. That afternoon we braved the weather to head down to Orland Park for a birthday party at Pump it Up. Sunday Zach had hockey again, this time it went much better. 
Saturday, before the kids went back to school from Christmas break, we did dinner at Medieval Times with a group of friends. We had a great time cheering on our yellow knight. Meg took some video of the night. Zach was completely entranced watching the knights fight.-
Wednesday night
I watched the kids during Christmas break and today we headed downtown to Mayor Daley Holiday Fitness Fest. We met up with some of Meg and Zach's friends and broke a sweat rock climbing and learning about Olympic sports. The kids did some science experiments while they were there and had front row seats to watch the Jesse white tumblers.
This Christmas was all about Star Wars for Zach.
Aren't they cute? The girls were ready for pictures Wednesday night. Maybe that's because they knew that once the pictures were done, they got to open presents.
Saturday we went to a birthday party at the indoor playground in LaGrange. The boys were very excited when Santa made them all balloon lightsabers. The girls, however, were not amused.
Wednesday afternoon the Preschool class performed their Christmas Play, 'The Nativity'. Zach was the innkeeper. He did a great job singing the songs and was pretty funny when he had his turn tell Mary and Joseph there was no room at the Inn. He calmly walked up to the mic and then yelled "No Room!"
