Thanksgiving

With the Texas Silvers in town for Thanksgiving, we bucked our Black Friday shopping tradition (sort of)** and checked out the Wonderland Express at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.

The Chicago river and buildings - all made out of wood and other natural materials.

**we still took advantage of one deal each at Staples and Kohls. but that was it - no getting up at 5am to buy the newest electronics this year~
