The Wilson's visit to Chicago!

Matt's sweet family came to Chicago this last week & it was so much fun to see them! They arrived while I was in Kansas City with my girlfriends so Matt got some quality time in with the fam which I think he really needed. He was worn out from his 2 weeks of training in San Francisco and there's nothing like spending time with people you love to refresh you!

So, Sunday night we went to Gibson's (our favorite steakhouse...we've already been 3 times!) to celebrate Chris' (Matt's dad) birthday! His birthday was Aug 3rd but we knew Matt would be working late so we wanted to make sure & celebrate at a time Matt could enjoy too. So...back to Gibson's...we had a FEAST! Everyone split a steak b/c they are HUGE! The smallest steak is 10oz and Matt & Landon split a 28oz steak! Surprisingly, there were no leftovers. Matt & I had seen their insane dessert portions so we warned the Wilson's not to go overboard since we intended to have a ginormous piece of cake. We managed to save room & it did NOT disappoint! Yum!


Ok...I did a terrible job portraying the size of this dessert but I kid you not, it was a monstrosity. Enough for all 6 of us with some left for seconds!

Monday, Matt went to work & I met up with the family to do a little sight seeing! We went on the architecture tour & had a great time! I know, I know. You're thinking "Beth, didn't you JUST go on this a couple of weeks ago?" Yes I did but I wanted to go again! We had a different tour guide & I learned lots of new things! There's always something new to see/learn on these things! I'll go many more times too!

The whole gang...well almost. We need to photo shop Matt & Liz too! :)


Me with Jeana & Landon! I have the best in-laws on the planet! I love having a brother/and sisters these days! And I didn't have to fight with them while I was growing up! It's like the best of both worlds! :)

Well like I said, it was Chris' birthday while they were in Chicago and Jeana's 14th is in a couple of weeks so we just had a fun little birthday party here at the apartment!

Cheesecake!


I can't believe I didn't think to get a "1" candle so we could make it Jeana's cake too! Silly me. She's never camera shy!


The birthday kids!


Make a wish!

Matt & I are so glad y'all came to Chicago to spend a few days with us! We love y'all and miss you terribly! Can't wait for your next visit!
