Nathan and I were fortunate to spend the Christmas holiday with his family in Itasca (right outside of Chicago). We left Tuesday afternoon with our luggage in the trunk and Lyla and Kenzie in the back. They did not last too long, though. After a lot of crying, we let them out to roam as we drove through VA, MD, PA, OH, IN, and IL.
We arrived around 1:30 AM central time, but the rest of the trip has been filled with great conversation, catching up, wonderful meals (thanks Don!), movies, and best of all - relaxation.
For Christmas dinner, our friends Carson and Nickie, who recently moved to Elmhurst from Portland, joined us. It was a treat to see them, and Nickie made a fantastic torte to complement Hilary's delicious apple pie.

Thank you Sandell family for always making us feel so welcome and relaxed. We love you tremendously.
