A monkey. A squirrel. One happy family.

Happy Easter from the Williams Thompson crew! 13 is not too old to be excited about dyeing and hunting eggs, thank goodness. Alexander Hamil-egg. Enough with the pictures, mom. Let's hunt eggs! On the hunt. Ella spots an egg in her under construction fort/hobbit hut. Ella tried to tease Annie with a kiss, but Annie was not having it. She bolted right after I snapped this picture. Sisters. XO!

Eight years? Where does the time go? This little squirrel... ...is now this big squirrel.

Watching the musical Hamilton in Chicago this spring was magical. The only thing more magical was watching our girls watch Hamilton. The Hamilton soundtrack has been the soundtrack of our lives for months, and the voices in the live production did not disappoint. The staging and choreography were clever, energetic, moving, kinetic - it is an night we will not forget. Ham 4 the fam. (We all got Hamilton t-shirts for Christmas) Before the show! The next day I forced the family on a winter death march to Shedd Aquarium . (1 mile didn't sound so bad, but the temperature was about 40 degrees colder than the day before.) The Bean at Millennium Park Being silly at Shedd. Ramen! (Excited about food and also that we discovered how easy it is to use Uber in a big city - no more freezing hikes!) Fancy hotel lobby. We loved Chicago, and can't wait to return. There's a million things we haven't done. XO
