Chicago and Christmas Dinner

Joey got home at 5am. He had an eventful night. They arrested someone on a warrant, witnessed a domestic altercation, and got to witness the booking procedure at the county jail. Needless to say Joey had a lot of fun with his cousins.
Joey's cousin Melissa called me and asked if I wanted to go to Chicago to Ikea with her. Of course I couldn't pass up an opportunity to roam through Ikea so I went along. Even though Joey got home at 5am he couldn't resist a trip to Ikea so he got a few hours of sleep and Melissa picked us up at 9:30. Hayden came along too. Melissa's son Jordan liked Hayden and they held hands in the car all the way to Jordan's Grandma's house.
We stayed at Ikea for a few hours. The trip from WI to Chicago took 1 hour. Melissa picked up some shelves for her basement that her husband just finished and we bought some glasses and towels.
When Melissa dropped us off we headed over to Racine to meet Joey's Aunt Barbara and David at Panera. Joey had to hook up their wireless Internet on their new laptop before they head out of town.
Then we headed back to Kenosha to eat at the Fireside to celebrate Christmas with the Paricka family. After we ate we went back to Grandma P's for gifts and desert. Grandma P makes the BEST apple pie.
Joey then went to hang out with his cousin Pauly and I played Rummikub again with Gail, Gabrielle, and Grandma until midnight again!
