I just saw one of the greatest Bears games I have ever seen. Monday Night Football, Bears versus Packers. It was the coldest game on record for the Bears. Luckily I was prepared and had several layers of clothes on. I felt like the little brother on a Christmas Story ("I can't put my arms down!"). The game had a playoff atmosphere. Knowing that the season would be over for the Bears if they lost made every play matter. I cannot say the Bears played the best football, but they got the job done. Even better to beat the Packers.
Kelley and Emma went to stay with Emily and Dave on Monday night while I was at the game. Hannah and Emma played very well with each other and got a trip to Chucky Cheese (worst pizza ever). On Tuesday morning, Kelley and Emma picked me up in the city and we went bumming around. Emma got to go to the American Girl store for the first time. It was cool seeing her wonder through the store with the look of joy and amazement of everything around her. She loved it. Emma brought her doll Courtney and found a ballerina dress for her. Emma said she got it for Courtney for Christmas.
