ok, so it has been a while since I have posted. now that the holidays are over and we are getting back into the grove of things, I will post some pics. We got our first Christmas tree together and my first real tree. It was so much fun decorating it. We decided to buy one new ornament a year. Isak went downtown to surprise me with the first one. It is a wedding related one, a wedding dress and tux together.
The next several pictures are from when we went downtown walking around. One picture is taken from the base of the Sears Tower. It was windy that day and when you looked up, it was as if the tower was swaying. It made me so dizzy. Then as we walked around we found this park area with the huge Christmas tree so we took a few photos there. There was tons of other people there as well taking pictures. Inside this fenced in area they had set up a train set and a little town so we grabbed a few photos of that as well. It was so nice to have Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year together. Christmas we did Swedish style. We has Ham, meatballs, Janssons, Sill, red beet salad which we made ourselves!! and don't knock it until you try it. Lingonberries, egg nog, glogg, julmust (swedish soda) lucia buns, and prince korv (mini hotdogs). It was so delicious!!. Thanksgiving we went to Ohio and had our last reception for the wedding. I regret not wearing my dress. isak looked so good in his tux. we danced, had wonderful food and saw many relatives I had not seen for a while. I was so happy to introduce my husband to them. We didn't do anything special for New Year's. We had planned to go downtown for the fireworks but it was drizzly all day so I didn't want to stand in the rain.

Isak is now back in school, I am back to work. I cannot believe it is almost February!!!
