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!"
Saturday Chris and the kids went to pick out a tree while Elizabeth was at the St. Cletus Women's Club Tea. Sunday we started decorating.
Chris and Elizabeth had fun at the EBS party. It was at Fogo de Chao, which is always a good time.
Last night Meg had her school Christmas show. The 1st-4th graders performed. It was adorable to see all of the kids singing their songs. Meg also played the xylophone for one song.
