LEGO Layout Heaven

We made Jimmy's day today at Cantigny Estate in Wheaton, where they had a special LEGO train layout. His favorite part by far was the replica of a Metra train, but he also loved looking at the SpongeBob section (Josie's hands down favorite) and the replica of the Milenneum Falcon.
















They even had a Harry Potter section, where they'd recreated major scenes from the films with LEGOs.

Turkey Day Treats

Thanksgiving was a small this year, but the meal wasn't! Mom made the turkey, stuffing and other sides (including some rolls that came out as raw balls of dough). I contributed two pies--one pumpkin, one apple crumb. The homemade crusts and special recipes earned A's from the crowd (even Jim), so we'll keep the recipes for next time!
