Elizabeth's 30th Surprise Birthday Party in Chicago


I just returned from a fun weekend in Chicago with my sisters and Mom. We met there to surprise and celebrate my sister, Elizabeth's, 30th birthday. This video shows how it all began... I think Elizabeth was literally breathless!We walked and shopped the Magnificent Mile, visited the Institute of Art, took an architectural tour on the Chicago River, enjoyed incredible views from the top of the John Hancock building, attended a Cubs/Dodgers game at Wrigley Field, explored Navy Pier, and talked, ate, and laughed a lot. Dylan was the only boy allowed on the trip. Elizabeth also had her baby, Shaylee, who is 6 days younger than Dylan.Robin was able to arrange a limo ride to the baseball game and seats directly behind the Cubs dugout. We were all decked out in Dodger shirts, courtesy of my mom. Go Dodgers!
Look how close our seats were!
Another highlight of the trip was attending Oliver's baptism in Rockford, IL. It was a very special day and I was so happy to be there!
