Happy Birthday, MaNell!

We celebrated MaNell's 30th birthday in Chicago last weekend. The group included MaNell, Aunt Debbie (her mom), Aunt Kathy, Katie, Amy (MaNell's sister-in-law), my mom, and me. We crammed a lot into a 48-hour stay, including high tea at the Drake Hotel:Drinks in the Walnut Room at Fields/Macy's (we were going to do lunch but the wait was 3 hours. Yikes!):
Shopping, shopping, and more shopping (all of the streets and stores were so pretty, decorated for Christmas!):
And dinner at one of MaNell's favorite restaurants.
Meanwhile, Warner spent the weekend testing Kevin's patience. He refused to eat anything other than graham crackers and/or macaroni and cheese, threw multiple fits, woke at 6am each morning, and generally wore my poor husband out. Looks like I won't be enjoying another "Mom's weekend away" again any time soon.
