To keep the Christmas cheer going, we went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens this weekend to see their Christmas display which involved lots of lights, plants and trains.
Jonah was trapped in his stroller, but got very excited every time he got close enough to touch something. Even though the lights were "eyes only", he couldn't be stopped.
It had snowed earlier in the day, so this was our first chance to try out our new boots and hats. I think we look pretty winter-ready.
In addition to lights, plants and trains, there was also a few crafts. Here daddy is helping Noah make a snowflake out of a coffee filter. We also made a bird feeder out of cranberries, lard and birdseed.
Jonah tried to get into the snowflake action, but he can't be trusted with scissors so he only got a coffee filter.
Here are our final product snowflakes. We were getting pretty hungry for dinner, so we were running a little short on smiles and picture taking cooperation.
They had 12 different trains running on various tracks around replicas of some of Chicago's most famous buildings. The one that I liked the best was a ladybug train that came right out to greet us. Jonah loved the trains and giggled in delight every time one came into his sights. This was a great event that we all loved and I expect that it's going to become an annual tradition.
