Then came the holidays that I cannot believe just flew by. We celebrated Christmas in Iowa last weekend with quick trip there and back (18 hours of driving both ways) but we had lots of fun. It was great to see my family. The kids got lots of presents, Donny enjoyed a break from work, and I had lots of fun playing games like the good days with my siblings. Here are a few pictures. We also celebrated Daniel's birthday here before we left and in Iowa.
Uncle Adam pulled the kids in the snow. We were glad we went to Iowa when we did cause they just had a blizzard with 17 inches of snow and 5 foot drifts. But the kids had fun in the 8 inches they already had.
The family is growing. (from left to right) Back: My older brother Adam, Leah's boyfriend Isaac, My sister Leah, My sister-in-law Anna married to my little brother Noah, Donny, and Nicolas.
