Christmas in Illinois

Almost the end of a VERY long trip! The girls and I headed back to Ohio on the morning of the 23rd. We drove on ice for about nine hours before I broke down and got a hotel about 20 miles south of Cincinnati. Maddie and Lena had been in the car way too long, and they were letting me know it. I was a nervous wreck from driving in such dangerous conditions all day. Here they are in a makeshift bed in the hotel. They were soooo happy to be out of their car seats.We got up early and drove the 2 1/2 hours to Columbus the next morning. At least we were safe!!
Grandma in her usual spot...in the kitchen cleaning up after another delicious dinner.

Uncle Andrew is the perfect sized bed for Lena.

The girls were dishing out smiles left and right this trip.
