Chicago in April

My mom came up to celebrate Easter and Dakota's birthday and we decided to head up to Chicago for a few days. We treated Dakota to dinner at American Girl, did a ton of shopping, ate at Rainforest Cafe and walked. A lot. The kids LOVE Chicago and had a great time.

We found a Donut Shop close to our hotel that sold these HUGE (and super yummy) donuts. We ended up stopping their for breakfast every morning!

Shopping at the Lego Store

The kids and Memaw at the massive 12-story Macy's in Chicago:

Dakota was in heaven at American Girl. She brought Ali (seen on her back in the backpack below) and dragged that baby all over Chicago.

On our way out of Chicago, we stopped in at IKEA! It was my first IKEA experience and it did not disappoint. Excited to plan a trip back (and take Jason) and even more excited that Kansas City will be getting one this fall!

The kids wanted to pose in the window of IKEA.
