Christmas Trip to Illinois!

We spent Christmas in Bethalto with our families and enjoyed spending so much time with them all. Cole had a terrific first Christmas. I thought he was going to get some teeth while we were there, but those sweet little teeth still haven't poked through! We had a jam-packed six days visiting with extended family and immediate family. Lots of wonderful presents were involved, too! Now we are back in Alabama packing up as much stuff as possible to put in storage to get ready to "stage" our house to go on the market! It'll have a FOR SALE sign in the yard in just three short weeks. AHHHH. Lots to do before then. But, glad we could take some time to "relax" back home (yea right, there is NO relaxing with 2 kids.).
