Illinois

For the first part of our vacation, we went back to Illinois to spend some time with Ryan's family.  It was the most wonderful 5 days!  Though I totally love and embrace the busy-ness that accompanies the holiday season, seeing so many people we love, and attending lots of celebrations, it was really nice to come back and visit family without any real plans.  We just took each day as it came and did what worked.  We went swimming and fishing and had lots of cousin play-time--here are some photos of our time!

Mom and Dad, thank you so much for opening your home up to us and blessing us with such a precious time!  We love you very much.
