At the beginning of March my mom and I took the girls to Illinois to visit Shawn, Kristen, Connor, Lauren & Jillian. It worked out that we were there on Jillian's 7th birthday so we were able to celebrate with her at Chucky Cheese's. We had a fun trip and thankfully Claire and Anna were excellent both there and back. Anna slept most of the way and Claire slept some, but when she was awake she was in a great mood and only asked to get out a couple times!

Uncle Shawn and Grumpy!

Chucky Cheese singing Happy Birthday to Jillian! Jillian had several friends from school celebrating with her!
While in Illinois we were able to go to one of Connor's basketball games. Connor did a great job, scoring 11 points!
The only thing that brought Claire any joy at Chucky Cheese was the balloon!
Claire screamed during this whole ride... needless to say we didn't do the rides after that!
Nuna and Anna!
