Every year in Chicago, the Christmas season officially begins with the tradition of lighting Michigan Avenue, otherwise known as The Magnificent Mile. This event is known as the Festival Of Lights and this year we went with our friends Josh, Jen and Jalese. Knowing the girls would enjoy it because of all the pretty lights, we knew they would enjoy it even more when we found out that their good friend Mickey Mouse was going to lead the parade! Several days before we went to the Festival of Lights Karina was at the computer with me while I was looking at the schedule for the festival and she asked what it was so I explained to her that we would be going on the train to see Mickey. So every day, several times a day she would ask me with a really excited voice...mommy we going on the train and see Mickey today??!! And I'd sadly have to tell her...no not yet, a few more days. And every time we'd hear the train...mommy we going on the train today to see Mickey!! So next time, we'll tell her the day of. :)

Our Baby Is Not A Baby Anymore :(
Karina is now 2 1/2 years old and she is not a baby anymore...and we marked this milestone by saying bye-bye to her crib. The bed we are wanting to get for her is on backorder so we just put her mattress on the floor. The first day we tried it was on Wednesday during her naptime and so when it was time, I sat her on the bed and said "ok you're gonna sleep in your big girl bed and if you need me just call out for me". I gave her a book and left the room. Ten minutes later I went and checked on her and she was out. When I heard that she was awake at the end of her nap, I went in and asked her if she had a good nap and she so very sweetly said, "yes...may I get up now?" She did so good sleeping on her big girl bed that day and has done great ever since! How time flies when kids are little...
