How lucky am I that my sister chose to come to Chicago for a visit as her birthday present?
Pretty DANG lucky, I'd say!
She was so awesome to come and hang out with us and be only the SECOND family member to see Sawyer! She was happy to hang out with us and go to the park and we even had a chance to get out a little.
Doesn't she ooze squishy love for Sawyer?
On one of our girl's only adventures, we were supposed to go on a Segway tour but my GPS sent us to the OTHER side of Chicago - I mean WAY out of the way for our desired destination! We ended up missing our tour time so we took the opportunity to do some sightseeing in Chicago. Jessi always asks about Oprah tickets when she comes to town but they are VERY hard to come by and the Oprah show tapings are done for the season. I did take her to Harpo Studios and apparently, there is an Oprah store right next to the studios. EVERYTHING in there has a big "O" on it! From workout wear to doggy sweaters to baby clothes and even clothes for sale from Oprah's closet (well-worn Chanel shoes for $250!).
After Oprah, I rushed Jessi over to Ghiradelli's for this DECADENT cookie sundae.
Um yeah, it TASTED as good as it LOOKS!
On Jessi's last day, we surprised her with a birthday cake complete with LOTS of candles!
Quinton spent the entire morning BEGGING us to set the cake ablaze and dig in...lucky for him, Jessi and I had to leave early in the day to catch our re-scheduled Segway tour.

And here she is on our famed Segway tour. I've done one before so I knew the ropes, but Jessi's horseback riding background made her a natural at riding this mechanical pony on her first time!
This tour was around a local beach at Foster Avenue. It wasn't as cool as the downtown tour but it was still a lot of fun.

Alas, Jessi had to get back to her 3 little yahoos in Utah and we miss her sooo much! I don't think Sawyer knew what to do with all of the attention she showered on him!
Aunt Jessi, we love you and miss you lots!
