Shhhishkabob, Shhhawshank Redemption, Chhhicago!

I couldn't resist putting that title on this blog post...it is from the movie Ace Venture: When Nature Calls. No, I didn't just put that on there for no reason at all...Aaron and I just celebrated our 5 Year Wedding Anniversary on the 29th of May and we went to Chicago to celebrate! We took Alivia along with us and we had such an amazing time together! We arrived at the Inter Continential Hotel on Michigan Ave late Friday night. Saturday we walked everywhere and went shopping for a ring for me. That was Aaron's present for me and so he let me go in and out of shops and pick one out that best suited me! Well, it of course had to be in a certain price range, I couldn't get too carried away! Ha! For lunch on Saturday we saw a place on The Food Network channel's episode of Diner's, Drive-Inn's and Dives. The place is called Hackney's and it has really good burgers, fries and onion rings. It was really good! That night we went to Cheese Cake Factory and then of course hit up Ghiradelli's and Hershey's. On Sunday we walked and shopped some more and then ate at PF Chang's. It is completely sad when we schedule our trip there around where we are going to eat! We had an amazing time together as a family in Chicago. It is crazy we have been married 5 Years already and have a little one.

Alivia continues to change daily and grow up! She is very active and rolling over and over everytime we put her down. We love her deep laughs. Mommy sings silly songs to her daily. She likes to sit up like a big girl in her Bumbo. I keep thinking that it won't be long before she is scooting and crawling all over the place. She likes to tuck her legs under her butt and try and scoot. At night it is adorable to watch her because she likes to do this and stick her butt up in the air. So adorable!

Nana and Papa are going to be visiting us for Father's Day weekend. I know they are super excited to see Alivia because it has been a while! They didn't want to wait this long to see her so they will definitely be spending lots of time kissing and loving on her!
