Thanksgiving in Chicago 11-10

Dad and I went to Chicago for Thanskgiving to celebrate it with Tara, Tim and our Emma Mae. We went Christmas shopping on the Million Dollar Mile and had lunch at Nordstroms. And just by chance, look who happened to be walking by....Santa! : }
Yes, even Flat Stanley got to go to lunch with us!

This was early in the morning and the streets were not even nearly filled with people as what they were by noon. That's Emma riding on her daddy's shoulders with dad walking next to him and Tara walking in front of dad. It was very cold!! We were on our way to the Disney Store : }

Beautiful downtown Chicago

I just can't seem to get these pics to rotate. Anyway, here we are on the "L train" going downtown. Fun experience!!

Sitting down for our Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room at Tara and Tim's new home in Lincoln Park, right outside Chicago. The food was fabulous!! Great job, T : }

Ohhhh my little Emma Mae.....I love you!!

Dad carving the turkey Tara prepared. The long hallway leads out to the dining room and living room.

This is the dining room and I'm standing in the living room taking the pic

The living room that has a wonderful bay window.

Tara's kitchen. The door leads out to a closed in porch that is used for storage and Emma's toys

So as we stood on the platform waiting on the L train to take us to T&T's apartment, the Christmas train came by. It was totally decorated for Christmas and Santa was even riding on it. It brought smiles to "everyones' faces.
