Merry Christmas Chicago

Merry Christmas Everyone.

We celebrate our Christmas on Christmas Eve.

I wanted to share a special place in Chicago where we went to have our Christmas Eve dinner.

It is Lawry's Prime Rib House in Chicago on Ontario just off Michigan Avenue.

We went early for a late afternoon early dinner.

Born in Beverly Hills, 1938 – A Chicago Classic Since 1974. Dine in our Historic 1890’s McCormick Mansion on Lawry’s famous Roasted Prime Ribs of Beef, carved tableside from silver carts, with Lawry’s “spinning bowl” salad, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, creamed corn and buttered peas. Fresh fish nightly.

The inside of this beautiful mansion is even more gorgeous.

The architecture and spiral staircase is spectacular.

We take our picture by the Christmas tree each year.

The pictures do not do the rooms justice.They are just gorgeous.

My mom and my youngest daughter Kimmie.

Me and my oldest daughter Jen.

Terry and me.

You have a Master Carver that comes right to your table and carves your Prime Rib right at your table.  

Mmmmm so good.

A little Christmas Charm while you eat.

You have your choice of cream spinach or cream corn for your veggie.  Both are so delish.  

You can have both if you would like.

A traditional Yorkshire pudding is served to soak up all the au jus!

My sweet granddaughter Charlotte in her Doc Martins she got for Christmas.  She cracks me up every time I tried to take her picture she would act shy.  Believe me she is not shy!!!!!

My daughter Kimmie and other grand girl Abby.

A must after dinner is to walk up the street to Garrett's Popcorn Shop.  The lines to get in can be long but oh so worth the wait.

They have so many fabulous flavors.  My fave is the Chicago Mix of caramel corn and cheese corn.  It melts in your mouth.

Always served hot and fresh.

Then for the car ride home or a nice stop after dinner right around the corner is the world's largest Starbucks.  

It takes up the corner on Michigan Avenue and half way down the block.  

Four levels of drinks and tables looking out over the Magnificent Mile.  Garden roof top tables too.

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful holiday.

May you all enjoy today and the rest of the week with family and friends.

If you ever visit Chicago you must try out Lawry's and Garretts and call me and I will join you lol!

I for one will be detoxing from sugar and rich foods for the new year!!!!
