Ticket to Chicago? Yes please!

The title to this post says it all.  I'm pretty sure this was one of the best Christmas' in a long time.  Not only did we celebrate our Savior's birth but we celebrated Ava's 1st Christmas and my Daddy's birthday.  

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is giving.  I love picking out a gift that fits perfectly with the recipient.  I love the thought process and creativity that is stirred when doing so.  This  year I went out on a branch and made a few gifts.  I of course forgot to take a picture at 12:30 on Christmas morning when I was still up finishing them but I'll show you the pic's I found on Pinterest for inspiration in another post.  I'm pretty sure I also purchased my niece's absolute favorite gift, a Baby Alive doll.  It giggles and she giggles back and she loves to hug on it!  


I also helped my sister in making the decision on riding boots and skinny's by purchasing her both.  I loved the boots so much that I spent a little of my own Christmas money and got the grey one's, lol!



Now I know your thinking, what does the title of your blog mean??? It mean's just that!  I got a ticket to Chicago from my sister to celebrate my 30th birthday in the windy city in March!  YAY ME!!!!  I'm so darn excited and can't wait for a girls weekend to celebrate another milestone in my life!  


I can't wait to shop on the Magnificent mile.  Eat Yummy Chicago pizza.  Shop on Magnificent Mile.  Check out this great city.  Did I mention shop on the Magnificent Mile?!?!?

I hope your Christmas was as good as mine, I hope you felt the true meaning throughout.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. -  Calvin Coolidge
