The Parrillo Family

Late last week, we drove down to McCormick Place to take in the 2011 Chicago Auto Show.  Eloise loved the bright lights, big car displays, and all the people.   Here she is at the Toyota display. She's already told us what kind of car she wants when she turns 16.  Already a dreamer!

I loved taking Eloise downtown to eat pizza with her mom and two of her cousins last week.  We even got to stop by Drew's Eatery for ice cream - where they had a Weinermobile.  Eloise couldn't have had more fun "driving"!  Maybe one day, she'll get to see the "real" Weinermobile!

More fun in the two feet of snow that accumulated overnight! She has snow on her chin because she loves to eat it :)

Eloise has had an on and off relationship with snow. The first few encounters were mostly tears and red cheeks, but yesterday was different. The snow storms that everyone had been anticipating had arrived. Snow was swirling and loading up our back yard. It wasn't tall enough to be an issue (like it was today!) so we got out to enjoy it. Here is E "wheeee"ing all over our yard.
