 Doing the penguin dance!

 Her second performance with Kids Praise and being a good big sister to Allie!

 Claire did great again!  Allie knew it perfectly at home but just stood there.  It was still cute!

 Nice job Clairey Beary Boo!

Disney on Ice-United Center

The kids are at such fun ages that it seems like we are constantly doing fun things!  Mads, Claire, Dane and Allie all enjoyed it tremendously and were so good! 

 Maddie and Claire were photo bombing one another.  Kristie and Maddie have a similar one with Claire sticking her head in it.  It was hilarious. 

The kids enjoyed yelling "Hi ____ (insert characters name)" at the top of their lungs.  Maddie started it and Dane and Claire joined in!

Allie was fixated!  The sandwich and lollipop were a bonus!

Museum of Science and Industry

Claire had been asking to see the baby chicks for a while, so it was time to pay them a visit!  She takes after her Aunt Lyssie!

 A new section we explored!  Allie wasn't quite sure what to think of the vapor and decided to avoid it.  Claire was enjoying it though!

 After we see the chicks, this wheel is usually the next thing she requests!

 Making shadows

 Sitting in the John Deere and reminding me of how much I loved climbing up on Grandpa Mueller's tractors!

 Claire always climbs all over her cow friend.

The kid exploration area is always fun and always crazy! 

 Allie decided to watch and learn!

We went through the Charlie Brown exhibit and the kids enjoyed seeing Snoopy and playing the piano.

Claire didn't want to take off the Snoopy ears!

Superbowl = super fun!

The kids had a blast!

 Allie trying out Dane's Purdue helmet while wearing her Illinois jersey (that Dane picked out for her birthday)!

 Chilling with chili!

 Allie and Dane were into Beyonce! 

Claire knew people were coming over to watch a football game, so she picked out her Bears shirt!  I was impressed!

Snow at last!

 Daddy's helpers!  They were treated to sled rides after their hard work!

Becoming Bono!

Peace!

Allie's "cheeeese" face!
