Thanksmas 2012

Thanks to our cross country co-parenting arrangement we fit in holidays whenever schedules allow.  I credit my own mother (aka Mom1) for teaching me to accept this.  She's always had the "we'll make the best of the time we have" attitude & has been a great example of how to relax about the co-parenting schedules.  
In fact, today's her birthday so a big shout out to Mom1.  Happy Birthday & thanks for being such a great role model in this journey!  We love you! 
So here are few pics from Thankmas (that would be Christmas that we celebrated on Thanksgiving Day).  Again, nothing traditional about Thankmas but nothing ever is for us...
The Sonish's arrival at the airport.  (Yes, I'm that Momish with a camera)

 Thanksmas in Chicago! We headed to Chicago Friday/Saturday of the holiday weekend to see some of our chosen family members.
 It's tradition for us to select a Tiffany ornament as a family.  This started last year while we were in NYC at the Macy's Parade and we decided to make it tradition.  One of the best parts of being a Momish is blending new traditions with the old ones.  Oh, and that's our dear friend Max photo bombing the pic.  :)
Stopping to pose for a picture with our dear friend Stephen outside of the iconic Palmer House Hotel in Chicago.   Isn't this Christmas wreath FABULOUS?  Of course everything's always done right at the Palmer House.  Absolutely beautiful.  And the smiles on all of our faces show what a great time we were having.
