Friday night we went to a hockey game; the Rivermen beat Chicago twice in a week...that has never happened! Saturday I woke up and didn't feel very well so my wonderful husband let me sleep in!!! After we got ready we met the Gibson's at the planetarium for the Holiday Lights laser show and then we went to the knock-off build a bear place that is going out of business (see pics below!) and then we went to Longhorn Steakhouse....yummy! After dinner it was back to hockey...they won in a shoot out - what a great game! They are only one point out of first place! I am glad that we have something in town that all 3 of us enjoy and we have fun doing it!
Sunday we drove to Schaumburg and met Grandma Brooks & Godsie and they took Justin back to Michigan for the week. Rob and I then went to Oakbrook for my company Christmas party - a good time was had by all! They do gift baskets and this year I got an ipod nano. I already have one, but it can be returned and I have $150 to spend at Best Buy! We stayed at the Hyatt after that...super nice hotel for $72 - gotta love Hotwire! We came home Monday morning and we have been busy with work ever since!
Saturday we are going back to Michigan for Christmas at Rob's grandparents house - this is with Kent's extended family. We have gone the last 4 years and it's fun to see his uncles....we usually only see them once a year so there is always a lot to catch up on!
Rob is on his way to my office now - he's going to hang my bulletin board and then we are off to hopefully finish our Christmas shopping!
Oh, and what a proud day for Illinois - Blago gets arrested. What a class act.

Weeks without the kids are bittersweet. The 'grown up' time is nice, but I always end up missing them after like 2 hours. My sister is coming to get my kids next weekend and I'm looking forward to it. But I know after three or four hours we'll just sit and talk about things that they do that make us laugh:)
