Benziger family in Costa Rica!
On our last night at La Mariposa Hotel in Manuel Antonio, we all dressed up to take a few family photos. I wanted our wedding photographer, Sylvia Guardia, to come down (she did an amazing job on our family photos in 2016) but she was stuck in Guanacaste photographing weddings so we settled for the hotel waiter. He did a pretty good job!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

There was no doubt that Duluth would have a white Christmas 2019 as Duluth's first snowfall is often in October. With over 33 inches of white fluffy snow since then, a white Christmas was practically a guarantee. However, spending Christmas week in Chicago was quite different. We flew down on Dec. 20th to spend time with the Benziger family and immediately noticed the grass was green, lakes and rivers were not frozen, and the daily highs were in the 50s!

The one-mile trail wound through various parts of the park and had innovative displays that were beautifully choreographed to holiday music. The next day, we enjoyed a day in downtown where the kids saw Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at the Goodman Theater for the first time. Theo was quite scared of the ghosts and Mar...
