families that bowl together grow old together...

I'm pretty sure that's how the saying goes :)

Yes, the McLane family is a bowling famiy now, thanks to Cathy who bought everyone bowling shoes AND shirts for Christmas...Too bad we all whimped out and didn't wear the shirts...

Wishing you ALL a HAPPY New Year's from the McLane's....

Christmas Day 2010

This is what caused the bloody lip. 2 seconds after this picture was taken, Benson fell out of the shopping cart...Merry Christmas :)

 This was our gift to Grandpa Gary....a santa snuggie...

The after effects....

Christmas breakfast...

 Yes, you are seeing that correctly...that is a heart attack waiting to happen. It's also a McLane family tradition. It's delicious...Cinnamon french toast drenched in butter....

Christmas Day evening is spent with the Carlin side of the family. So, we all headed over to Grandpa Fre'ds home to celebrate with family.



We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas!

adler planetarium

Back in September, Gary & Cathy came to visit. One day we went to the Adler Planetarium and explored that museum. It was a lot of fun for Benson :)

 Our walk to the Alder took us past the Field Museum....

It also took us past the Shedd Aquarium...

 We finally made it to the Planetarium!

 Benson's training to be an astronaut one day.
