e's first trip to the windy city!

seeing as chicago is one of the top cities to celebrate st. patrick's day, we thought ellery should bring her first st. patty's day in the windy city! so, as somewhat of a last minute decision, we took off, excited to show e the big city!

it was such a fun weekend! i loved showing ellery around lincoln park. we got to see so many great friends and family, too. the weather was gorgeous. we walked everywhere. it made me miss chicago. but i'm happy we're just a short drive away. soon, i'll need to show ellery another side of the city.... shopping on michigan ave... but that will take a whole other weekend :)

enjoy some pics from our trip!


e's first look at lincoln park! (surprisingly, it didn't take to long to find a parking spot!)


after just a few minutes of hopping out of our car & walking around, we randomly ran into some cousins - megan, jackie & casey!! they were full on celebrating st. patty's day in style :) but that didn't stop ellery from saying hello & meeting them for the first time!



dinner at dunlay's - i LOVE this picture!!!



i couldn't wait for her to wear this little romper!


thanks for the jammies momo & papa! we stayed the night at jeff & gina's, which was lots of fun. we caught up, ate candy, and watched a movie :) surprisingly, e slept pretty well given all the city noise.


we even got to have brunch with keri, kelly & andy. e decided to take nap :)


during the day on sunday, kyle had some sweet dude hang out time with graft and nelson. they ate bdubs and watched basketball. he loved it.


while kyle have guy time, i showed ellery our old home, lincoln park! i LOVED being able to walk everywhere!


we met kristen and adam at the zoo, went for a stroll and relaxed back at her apartment.

hope to see you again soon, chicago!!
