After shopping the girls and I headed home to meet my brother. Chad and I had tickets to see the Illini play Detroit Mercy in Champaign. My wonderful in-laws kept the girls for me.

The roads weren't the best but we made it to Champaign and home without any issues. Illinois won by 30 but still has some areas to improve. It was my first game this year. Chad and I had a great time. When we got home we stayed up wrapping gifts until 1:00 am. Friday night I stayed up until 2 am wrapping. I'm done with all my wrapping except for a few gifts that should arrive in the mail tomorrow.
On Sunday we went to my Aunt Nancy's to make Christmas candy and cookies. It is a family tradition that my Grandma "Nana" started. I can't remember a year that we didn't have her famous "peanut butter balls". This is the first year that she wasn't here to make them with us. She passed away in January just after her 78th birthday. I know that she is happy we continued the tradition.
