Monday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did! The 4 day weekend was much needed for everyone here.

Saturday I spent the day with a few good friends in downtown Chicago. It was a perfect day! I just love that city especially at this time of year. All the twinkling little lights on the trees and the beautiful store window displays really put a person in the Holiday mood. It was quite crowded but, the weather made up for that. It was in the mid 50's and for the end of November that is pretty crazy. It was very neat to see people sitting and eating outside of restaurants that offered outdoor seating. We ate at a restaurant on Pearson St. called Bistro 110. Delish! I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to eat in a relaxed atmosphere with great food and wine. We started off with drinks and tried a featured appetizer - Artichoke Stuffed with Brie. YUM!

The rest of the day was spent shopping, browsing, and site seeing. I didn't get too much shopping done but, the day was fun just spending it with friends.

Off to get some shopping done - Cyber shopping! Oh, and make sure you submit here for a chance to win a Holiday digital file from my Etsy shop. I'll announce the winner tomorrow!
