Since this is the second year in a row, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Liz and I have a new Christmas tradition. We take Makai and Konrad to dinner then to the holiday show at the Chicago Theatre. This year Kelly joined us for dinner at Remingtons.
On the walk from Remington’s to the Chicago Theater we passed by the Macy’s holiday windows on State Street.
We passed by a Salvation Army bell ringer and she let Makai and Konrad ring the bells for a minute.
The show we were seeing was ‘Twas the Night Before by Cirque du Soleil. I really wasn’t sure how Cirque was going to pull this off in the Chicago Theatre. I was also a little worried about our seats. Both turned out great. I loved the show. Makai basically sat there with his jaw on the floor for 2 hours. As soon as it ended he could not stop babbling about it. We had box tickets in the U section. It was off to the side, but we had a great view. And the seats were very spacious. Turned out great.
Liz and Konrad grabbed a ride home. Makai and I walked back to where we parked the car. On the way we passed Chicago’s bronze cow statue.
When we got to Michigan Avenue Makai spotted Chicago’s Christmas tree.
Makai asked to get a closer look, so we walked over and took a look. The tree is HUGE!
