I met Nick downtown after he finished his work at Northwestern. We went to the Christkindlemarket, but it was so crowded it was like being at Walmart at midnight the night before (which I also did.) Since it was not any fun, we decided to walk over to Xoco, a Rick Bayless restaurant. We ate there about 7 months ago, but at that time I accidentally ordered soup and it was spicy. The menu is in Spanish terms and comes with no glossary. We decided to go look at the lights on Michigan Ave, and on the way we decided to go into Nordstrom on a whim. By whim, I mean we needed to use their beautiful and clean bathrooms. We stumbled onto this Santa event sponsored by Windows 7 and Southwest. The kids got their pictures with Santa, they demonstrate photomerge (Santa's head on Gigi's picture is from a different shot) which was very cool, they printed a picture, then email them to you. FOR FREE! Great Santa, right? That's a real beard. However, because we were surprised by this, my kids were dressed for comfort and warmth more than looks. If I had known we would have taken their Christmas outfits, and now that it's colder I probably won't take them downtown again before Christmas.
Great Santa. DArling kids. Great photo.
