While Mom Christmas-shopped

... Dad and the kids ventured down south to the Museum of Science and Industry to see its annual Christmas Around the World display (which we hadn't seen before) and the traveling exhibit "Jim Henson's Fantastic World" (in which cameras are not allowed).



The Christmas display includes more than 50 trees, each decorated by a different Chicago ethnic community to represent its respective ancestral country.




And there was this huge gingerbread MSI with Henson characters, like something straight out of the "Cake Boss" series Mom's been watching.
