Illinois in January

Kevin, Kileigh, and I made the trek to Illinois the week prior to Martin Luther King's birthday to celebrate Christmas with my family.  Kevin worked Monday and Tuesday, so we ended up flying to Chicago on Tuesday night and driving down to Charleston Wednesday morning.  We had dinner at my brother and sister-in-law's house.  Catherine made cheese fondue as an appetizer, beef & noodles, and chocolate fondue for dessert.  Kileigh really enjoyed opening presents.  Kevin had to work Friday, so he drove back to Chicago Thursday afternoon to catch a flight home.  I didn't have to work till Tuesday, so Kileigh and I ended up staying till Sunday.  We were able to go to my mom's office and see her coworkers and to visit Catherine at her office as well.  We also went to the mall and saw my dad at work.  We went down to Greenup to the winery.  Catherine and I went to a movie.  Kileigh went sledding.  Kileigh got to spend a lot of time with her Uncle Mark, Aunt C, G, & Pops.  Despite the cold weather, it was a fun trip.
