Chicago Christmas

This was our first time using the chocolate fountain. I think we had the chocolate/oil ratio way, way wrong because it did not flow right. It was thick and cool, tasted great though! We were dipping fruit, graham crackers and marshmallows in it.
I wanted to start a new tradition with the kids when we are together for x-mas. So, we loaded up in the car after dinner and went looking for the best lit houses in the neighborhood. We were out for about 15 minutes or so. Ran into a dead end, saw a landing strip for Santa and a drive-in style movie in someone's yard, playing none other than Miracle on 34th Street. Then we went back and opened presents.
Lexi played her trombone for us this year on Christmas morning. She played Jingle Bells and even did a slide move on the "all the way, hey!" part. It was really good. Sounds like she is planning on switching to clarinet next year.
