fun weekend

We had a really Christmasy weekend. Friday night was our town's tree lighting. We went and took the trolley rides around town. At the Dance Studio in town they had ballerinas dancing in the window and Mia loved it! The weather was perfect and we enjoyed seeing all the Christmas lights in town.

Saturday we got up early and took a hike in Izzac Walton - Dad walked with the girls and I took a nice trail run. Then the girls and I went to Mia's friend's Sophie's birthday party. Then we went to another tree lighting and our traditional Christmas kickoff dinner at the Flossmoor Brewery.

Sunday we officially became members of our church. It was nice to be welcomed by everyone and the girls did great when we had to get in front of the congregation! It was nice.

Mia has been so into the Nativity story (and playing with her Nativity playset) that on Sunday night we walked to a local church that does a live Nativity scene each year - they had real camels, sheep, a horse to carry Mary and told the story of Christmas. We waited in line for awhile but afterwards they had treats and crafts. It was so much fun and a lot of families we know in town where there. The girls had three late nights in a row but it was worth it.

Mia and her friend Jonah at Iron Oaks this week, we had a playdate there
