What a wonderful weekend it was in Chicago to celebrate Brooke and Dan's engagement. Here are some highlights from the trip:

Relaxing at B&D's before the big dinner Saturday night

It was great seeing Susan after a very long time!

Everyone around the big ol' table at the restaurant

MEN!

Oh, Yvonne looks so sad. And Marci so happy!


Jeremy about halfway through the night



How cute!






It was awesome to see Stacey after so many years

The door is my friend and I don't care what you think

Classic Jenni


This was Brooke's "I haven't eaten in 4 years" pose







Another classic


What a classy wedding party!

Brooke's eyeball, ladies and gentlemen

All I can say is "ROFL"


What an adorable couple




Best one yet

You always need a toe moment


Brunch on Sunday

Some much needed Euchre and Mimosas

Sunday night we drove to South Bend with Kara to see Yvonne's family. It was pouring down rain, Kara couldn't see anything, and there were no reflectors on those back country roads. Let me tell you about stress. We made it safely and Kara spent the night at the folks with us. We had a very relaxing day on Monday, I think I stayed in my pjs until 5 o'clock. The entire fam showed up and we had a nice dinner. Then on Tuesday, we went to see Kelly and her little girl, Ella. Then had lunch with Khara and Bill.

Ella is so cute. She's got fire in her eyes!

I was so happy to be able to see Khara and meet her adorable kids. She's a superhero mom.

Aw. I miss that girl!

It was a fantasic weekend. I can't wait for the actual wedding! And dress shopping in NY with the girls!
