Kiss the Baby

My mom brought a baby mirror for Dallin. He loved the baby he saw so much that he had to kiss the baby.

Black Friday - No Shopping

I was good this year and purchased Christmas presents all before Thanksgiving (most before Halloween), so Black Friday wasn't a day of running to get to the best sale possible, but a great family outing. We were up in Chicago for Thanksgiving, so we went to the Field museum on Friday. It was a lot of fun to see the kids enjoying themselves.

You may notice that Dallin isn't with the other kids. He was in the baby corral when the other pictures were being taken. Believe it or not, he really was happy there with the other babies:

We were at the Field museum for the majority of the day (from 11am to 3pm) and only saw part of the bottom floor of the museum. It's HUGE! I have since learnt that we can get a membership at a kids museum down here (Bloomington, so a little south of us) and it will cover the Field museum as well as the Museum of Science and Industry. Looks like we will be taking some three day weekend trips up to visit Auntie Barbara and Uncle Greg more regularly!
