Winter Wonderfest with the Blackhawks!

Good ol' Uncle Keith hooked us up again, this time with tickets to Navy Pier's Winter Wonderfest, courtesy of the Chicago Blackhawks! The Blackhawks do so many fun family oriented events and since Keith and Erin don't have babes yet (wedding is set for next NYE!!!!) we get to do lots of fun things and are always so thankful for the opportunities!

Winter Wonderfest was very, very cool. An indoor ice rink, lots of inflatable bouncy houses and slides, rides, decorations, even a ferris wheel! It was such a magical place and Eddie was out of his mind. So fun.

{the pictures are a little crazy because a). the whole place had dim blue lighting, which made it look awesome in person but wonky on camera and b). i only had my phone....in the craziness of leaving i forgot my camera and almost cried}

{is that navy pier? is that navy pier? is thhhhhaaaaaaattttttttt navy pier?!?!}

{eddie loved the tall building with all of the "sparkly lights"}

And the decorations? Totally motivate me to redo my Christmas tree. I felt way too inadequate.

{that tree in the back? huge!}

{ferris wheel!! eddie wouldn't go on it and I wouldn't go by myself. boo!}

{the rides.....so fun! i want to make this place a Christmas tradition, it was that awesome}

A million pictures, I know, but I was so in love with this place. It totally kicked my bah-humbug butt back into Christmas gear.
