Joe, John, and Becky made the trip down from Mt. Prospect this weekend. We hung out Saturday afternoon, and Joe, John, Amy and I went to the Bears vs. Rams game today.
I knew there would be a big Bears crowd at the game, but I was surprised at how lopsided the fans were in support of the Bears. The crowd sounded like a home game, and a LOUD chorus of Bear Down broke out on the concourse after the game.
The first quarter was exciting, but by the end of the quarter the Rams were done, and the rest of the game was pretty boring. Some pictures from the game...

We spent a VERY cold night in Clayton at the County's tree lighting. We didn't wait in line to see Santa after the kids and Paul rode on the horse drawn carriage. Instead, we went to dinner at Wasabi! The hot Miso Soup was just the ticket since we were freezing! We'll catch Santa in a few weeks at the Kirkwood train station.

Last week, Emily's Brownie troop visited the St. Louis Ronald McDonald House near Children's Hospital to learn more about what they do for whose children are in either Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital or St. Louis Children's Hospital.
In addition to visiting and learning more, the girls brought the residents of the Ronald McDonald House fresh baked goods to snack on.
