Holiday Vacation to Illinois

We took our annual winter pilgrimage to Pittsfield, IL, to visit Rodney's side of the family. We had a nice, relaxing time while we were there.

Will had a great time hanging around the house with Grandma Peggy and laying with cousin Kara. We was not a big fan of snowball fights once Aunt Jill got him good in the neck - all's fair in love and war!

Xan loved watching Uncle Jim, Aunt Brenda, Grandpa Bill, Uncle Earl and Aunt Vic work with the cows. He also enjoyed doing absolutely anything with Uncle Jim or in the basement where all the Guthrie toys are. If he was playing with Uncle Jim in the basement, Xan was in heaven.

Rodney did some bow hunting with his longtime friend Cory. He was in range of a buck when he dropped his arrow. Whoops!

Jessica just relaxed (as best she can - she's not a big relaxer!) and got some work done that she had been meaning to do. Thank God for laptops!

We celebrated the Christison Christmas, take a gander at the all the damage from the restent ice storms in the Midwest, had fun with the church Christmas program and met new cousin Drew, who is about 3 months old.

Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures I took during the week:
